In order to fully embrace our Power and live our Purpose, generational cycles and patterns, must be addressed. Removing that which was imposed, and revealing what is authentically ours, is essential. Finding a way to honor our lineages and customs, but not the inherited dysfunction, is an intregal part of destiny work.
Some experience challenges centered around releasing the fears and expectations of others, particularly those of the mother. Typically, our mother is our first nurturer and primary protector. As babies and children, we look to her for cues and guidance.
We come from her and through her, so why would our destinies and fears not be intertwined with hers?
Why would she not influence the steps we do or do not take?
In my work as a Certified Holistic Life Coach, particularly with women, I have witnessed that maternal examples and influence, seem to have a significant impact on one‘s ability to genuinely embrace their destiny. Limiting beliefs are passed from generation to generation, as well as fears. Fears create doubt, and result in an inability to fully embrace one’s purpose. In addition to fears, there is also guilt. Some daughters are afraid of disappointing their mothers, so they continue to live falsehoods, subconsciously seeking their mother’s approval.
Ideally, if one has the approval and support of their mother, the decision to live in one’s truth, comes with less difficultly.
Furthermore, if one strives to be the opposite of what their mother was or is, there may still be misalignment. Their desire to do the opposite, without doing the healing work, can prove to be a deterrent, which renders them unable to connect with their authentic purpose.
Embarking on the journey of healing work with our families, our mothers, grandmothers and daughters is crucial. It allows for deep and ideally sincere conversations around inherited fears and stunted destiny fullfillment. It creates spaces to voice truths, release fears, forgive, break patterns, and evolve.
Embracing our divine power and purpose is not solely for ourselves. It’s also to address and break generational cycles and redefine what that looks like.
It requires cutting the chords of fears and dysfunction that are intricately connected to our mothers and families. It dismantles the ties that create obstacles in attaining the optimal level of existence.
It’s about empowering and honoring our mothers, daughters, parents and children, as we heal ourselves.
Break the generational pattens that inhibit you from living in your Power and Purpose.
