This is why what I do benefits you.
This work is my calling and my life.

In this work we don’t sit at the surface and hope for change.
It is an active process of divination, guidance, and deep visceral healing and release.

"THE KARMA THAT TRAVELS THROUGH BLOODLINES

Some wounds do not begin with us.
Some fears we carry were first felt by a grandmother who never spoke.
Some survival patterns were born in a grandfather who had no choice but to become hard.

Some silence, anger, shame, control, poverty, abandonment, addiction, and emotional distance did not start in our lifetime.
They were passed down.
Not as punishment.

As unfinished energy.

Family karma is what repeats until someone becomes conscious enough to stop it.

One generation buries the pain.

The next generation acts it out.

The next generation calls it “normal.”

And then one soul is born who feels everything too deeply to keep pretending.

That soul becomes the pattern breaker.

They are the one who asks:

Why does love feel unsafe in this family?

Why do we sabotage peace?

Why do we fear success?

Why do we stay loyal to suffering?

Why do we keep choosing the same wounds in different people?

This is how karma can travel through seven generations.

Not always through mystical curses, but through nervous systems.

Through beliefs.

Through emotional habits.

Through what was never healed.

Through what children watched, absorbed, and carried forward.

A child does not only inherit eye color.

They inherit emotional weather.

They inherit the way love was expressed.

The way conflict was handled.

The way grief was hidden.

The way money was feared.

The way truth was punished.

The way the heart learned to protect itself.

But here is the sacred part…

When one person heals, they do not heal alone.

They send a shockwave backward and forward through the bloodline.

They forgive what their ancestors could not face.

They stop repeating what their parents normalized.

They teach their children a new language of love.

You may be carrying pain that is older than your name.

But you may also be the first one powerful enough to end it.

The curse ends when consciousness begins.

The chain breaks when one heart says:

“It came through me, but it will not continue through me.”

🌱 I took a friend on a foraging walk on Wednesday. She was looking for mugwort, I was looking for more mugwort and some mullein.

🐢 We walked the path through wetlands, tall grasses, a pine stand and underbrush forest.
There were turtles all along the wetland and grass path.

🐝 At one point early on I felt a sting and looked down to see a small bee on my ankle. I just picked some plantain, chewed it, and stuck it to the sting.

🐻 Further into the woods, I heard movement in the brush. I could tell it was something big. Generally deer jump out and run when people are close, so I figured it was a bear. I’m not sure what my friend thought when I started roaring and barking! 😂 But the noise flushed out the bear. We were able to make enough noise that he ran a short distance away and watched us. I kept my eyes on the bear. Luckily it was far enough off the path we could keep going.

✂️ We walked the path cutting the herbs we needed, then spent time in my spiritual space talking and I showed her how to grind and wrap the plants.

🐝 Yesterday my foot was swollen, painful, and red. Worse than right after the sting. Today is a little bit worse. I’m probably developing an allergy because I’ve been stung a few times in the past year.

😌 So today I try to rest my foot and I’ll do a little bit of work with the mullein. Hopefully the stiffness and swelling will start to subside tomorrow.

This morning I got a text from a friend asking if I wanted to go on a road trip so she could pick up some taxidermy.

Of course I couldn’t say no.

She gave me a fox tail. We’re planning on driving back to dig up bear bones on the sellers property. If we can dig and find them, we can keep them.

Sometimes I need an adventure!

I’m taking another day of relaxing and sitting with the fact that I was very close to being crushed by the tree yesterday.

I spent extra time reading and having coffee with my hummingbird, ate a yummy breakfast, and cleaned and reset my altars. After I spent time with my spirits I went for a walk.

I’ve decided I’m going to enjoy myself, do what I’m meant to do, and not get stuck in fear of being judged or seen as different or wrong anymore. Because I am different. My path and calling make me different.

I stopped for chai and a cookie, went to the river, then took a small detour down a trail and made friends with a very photogenic squirrel.

Now I’m back home getting ready to start cooking dinner soon. Quiet, centered, and thinking about the mugwort I need to grind and wrap tomorrow.

If I ever doubted that I’m spiritually protected, doubt is gone now.

Originally I was going to post about the importance or rest and spiritual cleansing. I’m taking a rest day and I did a futha (spiritual steam cleanse.) But the universe and the wind had other ideas.

I was out in my spiritual space to talk to my ancestors and to get herbs for my steam. I had been “seeing” a tree fall all morning. I chalked it up to the high winds.

I was kneeling on the floor in front of my altar and I heard a loud crack and something fall. I jumped and moved towards the door. I thought a a small branch fell and maybe hit the roof. I went outside to area behind the back wall where the altar is. A HUGE tree had fallen through the small wooded area there. It smashed down and flattened part of the neighbor’s fence. If it had fallen at a slightly different angle, just maybe 4 feet in the other direction, it would have hit the peek of the roof of my space and split the whole building down the middle. The entire roof would have collapsed with me inside.

Just 4 feet.

My heart was racing and I was shocked. The sound on the roof was a tiny tree being bent (not broken.)

Nothing around my space had moved with the high winds. All of my sticks and bells were exactly as they always sit.

I was almost not here to post this.

But my ancestors and spirits walk with me and protect me. They are within me and around me. They guide me on my path so that I can help others heal.

I took a rest day today after doing some major digging and planting yesterday for my mom.

I had someone come over to pick up some plants this evening and she was asking about mugwort so we went on a short forage walk.

Tomorrow I’ll grind some of the mugwort and I’ll dry the rest.

Today was a last minute healing session. Healing happens in layers. As energies, attachments, and patterns are cleared, more will be uncovered and come to the surface.

Healing isn’t done for you or to you. It is not passive. You have to allow, release, receive, and trust.

It’s important to check in and stay in communication with the healer you work with and to feel safe and supported, knowing that you will receive what you need.

I cleaned and rearranged my spiritual space yesterday. What started as taking rugs out to shake and put away for the season turned into moving altars, elevating my grandparents, removing some furniture, and restoring my umsamo (traditional ancestral altar) to the floor.

I had packed up many things last fall when I started questioning everything, after an act of spiritual sabotage turned into an eye opening experience. I called in some of my ancestors, but tried to hold others to the sidelines. Even though I was still working, I disassembled that specific altar and put taller altars in its place. I lifted everything up high, leaving things ungrounded.

I felt disconnected and “without my ground.” My space turned into a reflection of that. Trials always come up and need to be worked through.

The thing is, umsamo isn’t only a physical altar. It is the heart, the body, the spirit. It is the bond between the living and the ancestors. My ancestors never stopped speaking through me. I never stopped connecting with them.

Yesterday I saw my space as overwhelming in the visual sense. My ancestors told me it was time to bring everything back to the root. To be on the floor when I speak, and ukupahla (pray.) So I did what they asked.

Everything is coming around, stronger and wiser. Everything is falling into place. I am recognizing the sacredness of my being for the first time.

I am rooted. I am grounded. I am whole.

*Picture of my windflowers- the umsamo can’t be photographed.

Being a healer isn’t only consultations, divination, and helping others clear ancestral and personal patterns and trauma.

Sometimes it’s going outside in the rain straight out of bed to pick herbs for my kid who told me he was throwing up last night. It’s boiling and steeping before I even fully wake up.

It’s not a part time thing. It’s my way of life.
