Adoptees
Connect with your ancestors on the journey to wholeness
Holding space for adoptees
By using my intuitive gifts and holding space for my fellow adoptees in this work, I have seen how each of our experiences (and healing journeys) is so very individual. Yet, we all know and share a collective pain, grief, and anger.
With the Intuitive Healing and Ancestral Healing work I have done for myself, I have been empowered to take control and ownership of my exploration of my family and culture - both blood and adopted. I am passionate about using my gifts and work to offer this empowering healing to other adoptees.
Empowerment and connection
Ancestral Healing offers deep healing
Ancestral Healing can be a salve for feeling disconnected, misunderstood, alone, or exhausted from carrying the emotional wounds of being adopted.
The process of Ancestral Healing empowers adoptees with choice. Everyone has well and healthy ancestors and ancestral gifts that are birthrights. You can choose to connect with the well-ones and learn about yourself. Many of us are not able to reach our birth families or don’t get along with them particularly well. But, the good news is that there are healthy people in your bloodlines that are available to you.
Energetic Insights as support
Sometimes it isn’t as simple as just jumping into a session and connecting with ancestors. For adoptees, there can be feelings of anger and resentment mixed in with the desire for connection.
Adoptees can be inspired to come to this work, but things feel too raw-like touching an open wound. Because Energetic Insights sessions focus on the client and not the lineage, they can help with what needs to be healed, seen, and held before even approaching connecting to ancestral lines.
Energetic Insights can also be of support for clients during the Ancestral Healing process. I encourage clients to trust their intuition as to if and when an Energetic Insight session would be supportive.
An expanded view
Through connecting to my ancestors, I can see myself reflected in the strengths, burdens and blessings of my ancestral lines. Learning about the blessings and burdens of your lineage allows you to see the bigger picture of your patterns, tendencies, and habits. It is an opportunity to find the mirroring and inherited traits that adoptees typically do not grow up around.
And, there is love. There is a ton of love from our biological and adopted ancestral lines that we can choose to tap into. It is available from our ancestors, even if it is difficult to find it from our living family members.
Holding space for grief
Adoptees usually aren't permitted to grieve, let alone it being recognized that we have something to grieve. Grief is an important emotion, but we live in a grief-avoidance culture. For me, I was so scared to feel grief because I thought I would drown. However, once I felt it, I felt liberated. Not allowing myself to feel it was what was actually drowning me.
An advantage of Ancestral Healing is that we can use our ancestors as an extension of our nervous system to help us work through and hold space for our emotions. Holding space for grief by feeling it and letting it move through us expands our capacity to experience the beautiful things in life more deeply. It is like the yin/yang of life.
“I appreciate so very much, the understanding, strong and loving space you are holding for me & my family, by way of our work...both here & ‘there’. So grateful.”
