Thanksgiving is almost here! What does it look like for you this year? Are your loved ones nearby? Will you be traveling to make up for lost time? Or will you continue to stay home, avoiding large crowds, train stations, or airports? I hope, no matter what you do, that you’re surrounded with love and gratitude, and good food on the table. I wish that for all of us every day, but it doesn’t always happen. What can always happen, because it’s always up to us, is practicing generosity and gratitude no matter where we are, what we have, or who is with us. This time of year is a reminder of the light we carry within because the heart of Thanksgiving is generosity and gratitude. It’s a time to remember and honor family through all generations and be thankful for our ancestors, what they gave in their lifetimes, and for how they live on in us. When we choose to be grateful and generous, in spirit and action, our frequency changes, and we raise the vibration, making positive differences for ourselves and everyone around us. I wrote this blog, The Heart of Thanksgiving is Generosity and Gratitude to inspire you to open your heart with compassion and ease.
With every year that I move deeper into my 40s, I’m noticing a grace is coming – an elegance of thoughts and feelings I hoped would come with age but wasn’t sure. As a double fire sign, grace has eluded me at times in my life; I really did think for a time that I had to burn things down in order to build something new. Few people can build an emotional fire better than I can, or keep it burning longer. But who wants that? When I look around my life and ask myself who I want to be more like, with whom I want to spend more time, who I aspire to become, it’s always the generous ones: The people who give with an open heart, forgive graciously and easily, and let energy move through them and their lives like smoke. I’ve noticed that those people are healthier, too, on the physical level, because they aren’t hanging on to decades of anger and frustration. They learned that holding on to sadness only prevents them from being fully available to the beauty of this moment.
I have a theory that every generation codes new wisdom and new sets of experiences into the familial energy grid that you are born into. Think of it as stored data on your soul’s hard drive. Included in this coding are attitudes and beliefs about money, love, fortune, opportunity, spirituality, marriage, family, and childrearing. Most of us have no idea what is coded into our grid, but we sure are affected by those energy streams. Poverty, war, divorce, trauma in childbirth – it’s all there if it has happened in your family. In my family, all of those events are part of our past, and therefore, part of my coding. And as I go through my personal life experiences, I contribute to coding. If we step outside of linear time for a minute, we can understand how in this very moment, we can heal parts of our coding, for past and future generations simultaneously. With awareness, compassion, and love, we can release old patterns, transforming the very energy imprinted in our genetic memory.
Our ancestral coding is a powerful force, and because most of us have very little information about it or conscious connection with it, we move through life not realizing the extent or origin of pre-programming
