Are you feeling stuck? Dissatisfied with the way your life is going? Or maybe your life’s okay but you just have this nagging feeling that there has to be something more. We’ve all been there. And most of us never figure out how to even begin to do something about it. One of the reasons why that is so is because we have no clue what the problem is. And we can't solve a problem we don't even understand. So, bringing awareness to the true nature of the problem is the first step in the direction of a solution. Ultimately, many of us are being impacted in one way or another by the effects of some amount of negative programming that had previously been instilled in us. And it is continuing to impede our ability to become all that we were meant to be.
So, how exactly did this negative programming happen? We can't possibly do justice to that discussion in the little space available here. But some of the more significant ways include a fair amount of negative impacts from the educational system, being raised in a dysfunctional family, growing up in extreme poverty, being on the receiving end of the horrors of genocide, natural disasters, wars, and human trafficking, and carrying the terrible legacy of abuse, neglect, abandonment and other forms of childhood trauma. And our inability to comprehend why we fail to consistently achieve desired improvements can cause us to believe that something is wrong with us. This often results in a sense of hopelessness, which then leads us to eventually stop trying.
But all is not lost. We are nothing if not resilient. We have the power to change our lives. Studies are now showing that transgenerational epigenetic inheritance isn't just observable through the numerous experiments that have been done on mice but in humans as well. Of course, more studies are needed. But it is now confirmed that ancestral memories are transmitted via sperm from fathers to sons and to the next generation as well. Yes, it appears that the effects of childhood trauma can be inherited. Scientists are also seeking to investigate whether a similar thing is occurring between mothers and their daughters. And because it is epigenetic rather than genetic, these effects are reversible. But it all begins with bringing awareness to the problem.
In the mirror did I see
An image of me
Doing everything I did
Helping cover up what I hid
Concealing
The fact that I had no feeling
Was living a lie
Couldn't even look myself in the eye
And played the blame game
Consumed with guilt and shame
Fearing anyone who looked inside
Would see the ugly truth I tried to hide
In the mirror I saw an optical illusion
Merely a reflection
Though bona fide
Of what I was on the outside
But it only belied
What did abide
In the deepest hole
Of my endlessly tormented soul
Reminding me how teary eyed
I desperately tried
To hasten the arrival of a day
When the pain would finally go away
Now, in the mirror
The image is clearer
No longer surreal
It does reveal
A special place
Withing that inner space
Where it never rains
And peace forever reigns
And sparkling eyes
That hypnotize
Through which I see a world of beauty
And others see beauty in me
