To Heal Ancestral Wounds

Ancestral wounds can be seen in cycles of abuse, genetic predisposition to addiction and mental illness, and the current, lingering impact of old traumas from times of war or hardship.

The following is NOT a solution or cure to serious mental or physical illness, but rather intended to aid in the healing process. By focusing on breaking the chain of hurt on an emotional and spiritual level, you can begin finding peace for yourself, and for those who came before you–whether your immediate family, or your great great great great grandparents and beyond.

Begin your meditation or ritual in the manner that works best for you. When your mind is focused, repeat these words until you begin to feel some relief:

Untie the knot sewn by my ancestors’ pain. Unravel the fear** woven into my blood.”

When you’re ready to stop (ideally when you feel better, but also if the emotions become too intense), conclude with this:

All will be healed, all is healing.”

After you’re finished, do something grounding and mundane. Watch a tv show, eat, wrap up in a blanket. It’s important to give yourself time to rest after doing emotional work.

If you’re like me, a lot of times the actual effects of this kind of meditation won’t be seen and felt until later. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t feel different right away. Healing doesn’t happen in a single session, and alleviating wounds passed onto you by your predecessors is a long (but worthwhile) process .

**Replace this word with whatever you are seeking to release.

Dilla Month 🍩🍩🍩

[8fates]

Can we talk Dilla and donuts? Light an L to Elzhi and fall in love through Ghost face? You my pumpkin and my nilla custard; shadowboxing in bed and we climax through Kweli’s reflection eternal. I’ll let you read my journal and set the soundtrack through Madlib’s beat konducta, oooh I used to love her, but now I love you instead, when I reminisce over you my god, ayo Dunn spark the philly, and never ever go out like Renee, I’ll take you to Queens maybe you’ll bump into Nas for the day, whose world is this? Ours for the take. Electric relaxation as my hips sway, help me find my way, buddha got us 3 feet high and rising, how nice, a love that isn’t blinding, confining, cause my umi says shine your light on the world, shine your light for the world to see, you b boy and I b girl, I wanna six step to your heart, kick in the door wavin the 44, we gon never be apart, lovers rock when we stressed, badu when we’re put to the test, create our own little Seven and guarantee its derision from heaven, so I can put the miseducation of Lauryn Hill to rest, you my lullaby like a 9th wonder beat running through my speakerboxx to get through to my love below, spottieottiedopalicious, i never knew a love like this could grow.

An ode to my future nigga. <3

Ask SV it’s all bullshit.

It’s amazing how amazing I can function while having triggers. Working with an abundance of self love, DIY oils, constant cleaning, face washes, herbal baths, vitamins, water, ancestors and spirit guides, candles, floor washes, prayers and I still cant stop crying in between, cant stop hyperventilating when I replay events. Sick of remembering. But surviving through this weird form of self love that doesnt feel right. People waiting for you to fuck up, you trying to not wake up. But god gives me a new day everyday and i’m grateful that getting out of bed gets a little easier each day.

Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.

This lion’s name is Bonedigger and he was born with a crippling bone disease, so the keepers introduced three dachshunds to give him companionship; Abby, Bullet and Milo.

They’re his pride now!

This is the only fucking thing I care about, do you hear me.
