Remembering our Ancestors' Lives through Hypnosis
Greetings from Doc Judie
October is "Italian month" and I am celebrating my own Italian heritage with the passing of a very special relative. My cherished auntie was buried in a predominately Italian occupied cemetery in the bay area of California. My aunt was so loved that her family traveled from Louisiana, Colorado, Nevada and California to celebrate her 103 1/2 years on the earth. The memorial chapel was filled with all of my relatives ranging from Auntie's "children" in the 80's to brand new grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Each and every one of them had my aunt's spirit, her smile, and her artistic intelligent mind. I would like to think that we all have the same DNA and I too share the family traits.
I had not been to this cemetery since I was a young girl, but i knew that all of my relatives dating back to great grand parents on both sides were all buried there. I had as many dead relatives as I had living all in one spot. I realized what a unique situation this was when I accidentally stepped on two of my uncles' grave markers!
After the services, my sister who is an "intuitive historian" insisted on returning to the cemetery to "visit our deceased relatives." i meant what I said, I was looking at marble headstones, my sister was visiting!
It was a remarkable lesson in time. This cemetery was very large and divided into the new section and the old section where most of my relatives on my mothers' side were buried. Unlike the uniform new section, the old section was a mix of simple grave markers to ornate stone chiseled headstones. Every row was guarded by marble angels and granite crosses. The wealthy housed their deceased in large marble slab mausoleum with ornate glass and iron doors.
My relatives were not wealthy, but they did have a mausoleums as they were all in construction and had access to the craftsmen who built crypts out of marble. So there they were with all of their stories which my sister remembered so well. As she reminded me of their journey from Italy to Contra Costa California, I could "feel them" and see them in my mind.
Now I don't believe in reincarnation in "an airy fairy way" but I do think our genetic code carries the traits of all of our ancestors. I used self-hypnosis after my very moving day of being with all my relatives the living and the dead and tapped into their traits, their struggles and their successes. I am still processing, but I recommend that you try it. I have used the exercise of visiting with ansestors in the past with my clients. They report that they feel a connection. Let me know what you think about this? I will do a follow up on the next blog by coping a complete article on the science of remembering our ancestors'lives
Here is to your mental and physical health
