Our mothers and grandmothers suffered from an oppressive and repressive system. Unfortunately, they didn't have the tools or the dedication to work on themselves and heal their DNA. They gave birth through a womb that held negative imprints preventing them from feeling balanced sexually, emotionally and energetically. When we inherited their DNA, we did not only inherit their body defenses but also their emotional blueprint. All the deep wounds that were not healed by the generations of women before us were passed down through DNA and manifested a distorted hologram (energy field) for ourselves. We might not be fully aware of our feminine blocks but everything exists and pervades on a subtle level

Traumatic and negative experiences can cause a fragmentation of our soul leaving us feel powerless and purposeless. The retrieval is a shamanic process to call our broken pieces back, to assemble them and experience the totality of our being. From this wholeness is born a profound sense of freedom. This process is what Carl Jung called individuation, when we integrate our shadow aspects and become self-realized. To realize thyself is to innerstand ourselves as infinite intelligence connected to the entire web of life through collective consciousness. From our collective consciousness is born the darker collective unconscious. To access our transcendental nature is to understand that our destructive patterns are inherited from this collective unconscious.

It is when the experience of trauma is too intense that the soul leaves the body. When we experience this feeling, we can feel incredibly ungrounded and passive in life. We feel victimized by our reality, we question ourselves and we are absent from reality. It is just as reality is happening without us. We always think about what we are going to say next. We do not find strength to establish boundaries because we do not have control over our bodies. The hardware of the machine is not present anymore. It is just like we have forgotten ourselves. We need to allow spirit in again. We need to see beyond what troubles us and rem
