Generational Healing: Beyond The Bloodline

00:00:01,230 --> 00:00:01,490
Courtney Pearl [00:01.75]

2
00:00:01,660 --> 00:00:04,290
Hi and welcome to Practically Magick.

3
00:00:04,310 --> 00:00:08,290
This is Courtney Pearl, pagan
witch, card reader, healer,

4
00:00:08,429 --> 00:00:13,160
spiritualist, Celtic priestess,
teacher, artist, and mystic seeker.

5
00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:18,460
I am discovering true Magick in the
world and I wish to share it with you.

6
00:00:19,110 --> 00:00:22,980
So we're gonna start today's episode
pulling a card and because of the

7
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:29,580
topic of today's episode, we're
going to use an oracle deck that I.

8
00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:31,700
do not bring out very often.

9
00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:35,609
It's called the Sacred Rebels Oracle Deck.

10
00:00:36,129 --> 00:00:40,199
And it's one that I keep in
my sock drawer, actually.

11
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:48,839
I keep it for my own personal pulling
a card rituals for morning and night.

12
00:00:50,349 --> 00:00:52,629
I won't say I'm that consistent.

13
00:00:53,190 --> 00:00:59,080
I'm not gonna lie to you and act like I am
just that good at always pulling a card.

14
00:00:59,390 --> 00:01:01,500
But I do keep this one for personal use.

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,209
And so I have not brought it
out for public readings before.

16
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:10,130
But today's episode, just the topic
of it, it's going to fit so nicely

17
00:01:10,490 --> 00:01:20,400
with this deck, especially the cover
of the box has a picture of a young

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,479
child at the bottom and a woman in
the middle and then an elderly woman.

19
00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:26,270
So kind of the.

20
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:30,840
made in the mother in the crone type
energy, we're gonna be talking about

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:37,600
generational healing and generational
trauma and generational Magick, of course.

22
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:43,419
So I would like to pull a card
from this deck for today's episode.

23
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:50,630
And remember, we always start our episode
pulling a card and this card is, we're

24
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:55,910
trusting belongs to whoever's listening at
this moment in time that there's something

25
00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:58,290
about this card you needed to hear today.

26
00:01:59,650 --> 00:02:07,279
So the card that I've pulled is the number
24 and it's New Birth, Guarded Vigilantly.

27
00:02:09,279 --> 00:02:14,189
It's interesting because this is a
woman and it's the card is almost all

28
00:02:14,189 --> 00:02:22,089
in black and white but she has it's
like she's tending to a very new plant.

29
00:02:22,779 --> 00:02:23,184
Courtney Pearl [02:26.162]

30
00:02:23,499 --> 00:02:29,729
green growth coming up through
the center of the card and

31
00:02:30,699 --> 00:02:32,479
right there on her shoulder.

32
00:02:33,389 --> 00:02:38,509
So you can see the green in the in the
leaves growing and you can see a light

33
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:43,989
green butterfly sitting on her shoulder
and she's kind of tending to the plant

34
00:02:44,029 --> 00:02:50,679
but also she's tending to this little
fragile butterfly on her shoulder and

35
00:02:51,149 --> 00:02:56,869
I think this is a clear message to
anyone who's listening that what you

36
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:01,539
are needing to hear today is there is
something very new growing within you

37
00:03:02,009 --> 00:03:06,709
and it can be outwardly maybe some
new beginnings happening in your life.

38
00:03:06,729 --> 00:03:11,529
There's some new job,
new life, new growth.

39
00:03:12,049 --> 00:03:13,829
Of course, we're coming into springtime.

40
00:03:13,829 --> 00:03:18,179
So there is going to be new growth
everywhere anyway, but I feel

41
00:03:18,179 --> 00:03:20,649
very strongly that this card has.

42
00:03:21,169 --> 00:03:26,329
a more internal inward feeling about it.

43
00:03:26,359 --> 00:03:31,119
So it's about looking inwardly
at what is brand new for you

44
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:33,089
coming through, coming forward.

45
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:39,049
You're starting to see yourself in a new
way that you have not considered before.

46
00:03:39,889 --> 00:03:49,619
You are starting to cultivate skills
or cultivate this new way of life.

47
00:03:50,389 --> 00:03:52,929
and it almost feels very fragile.

48
00:03:53,139 --> 00:04:00,329
It's very vulnerable, and it needs to
be guarded and protected on its way.

49
00:04:01,449 --> 00:04:07,579
It may even be that you're starting
to shift into a stronger, more

50
00:04:08,689 --> 00:04:11,649
self-reliant sort of a vibe.

51
00:04:11,679 --> 00:04:16,919
Like I'm coming into a place
where there are certain things

52
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:18,569
I won't tolerate anymore.

53
00:04:18,849 --> 00:04:21,949
There is more I need to do for myself now.

54
00:04:22,739 --> 00:04:27,199
And even though that's sort of a
strength or it's coming forward as like

55
00:04:27,289 --> 00:04:32,139
I'm going to stand my ground a little
more, it's also going to need to be

56
00:04:32,139 --> 00:04:34,529
protected as if it's something brand new.

57
00:04:35,179 --> 00:04:44,099
So although this is a very strong choice
and a very strong path that you're

58
00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:46,409
starting out on here with this new part.

59
00:04:46,489 --> 00:04:47,089
Courtney Pearl [04:50.142]

60
00:04:47,599 --> 00:04:53,389
It's important to remember that just
like a horse, foal is born and will

61
00:04:53,389 --> 00:04:59,609
one day be walking and running on very
strong legs, that foal is not going

62
00:04:59,619 --> 00:05:02,159
to be born walking on strong legs.

63
00:05:02,769 --> 00:05:07,169
That foal is going to need some
gentle love and care in getting

64
00:05:07,169 --> 00:05:13,169
up on those wibbly wobbly legs and
just starting something brand new.

65
00:05:14,649 --> 00:05:17,919
So I need you to take a moment to
think about what that might be for you.

66
00:05:19,049 --> 00:05:23,549
And what we're going to work on
through this episode is talking

67
00:05:23,569 --> 00:05:29,879
a little bit about that exact
thing of shifting into new spaces.

68
00:05:30,589 --> 00:05:35,229
And when we're doing that,
we're creating Magick.

69
00:05:36,529 --> 00:05:36,959
So

70
00:05:37,779 --> 00:05:41,909
We've talked about the creation of
Magick, making our lives Magickal,

71
00:05:41,929 --> 00:05:46,939
making rituals, making spells, doing
what feels right for you moving forward.

72
00:05:47,429 --> 00:05:51,569
But I truly believe that in my healing
work, when I work with people in the

73
00:05:51,569 --> 00:05:57,159
emotional and energy healing world, I
truly believe that any calling you are

74
00:05:57,159 --> 00:06:00,879
making out into the universe that says,
this is what I want to have happen.

75
00:06:01,309 --> 00:06:05,509
This is the new way I want my life to go.

76
00:06:07,169 --> 00:06:09,599
That is what creating spells is all about.

77
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:13,979
Creating stories, creating
this new story of your life.

78
00:06:15,119 --> 00:06:20,829
In that process, I don't think we can
talk about any of that or fully begin

79
00:06:20,829 --> 00:06:24,469
to witness ourselves until we really
talk about generational healing.

80
00:06:25,709 --> 00:06:32,329
Because there are so many things, so
many aspects of ourselves that we may

81
00:06:32,339 --> 00:06:34,189
never get to the bottom of all of it.

82
00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:39,509
No matter what we do and no matter how
much we try, we will never ever fully

83
00:06:39,509 --> 00:06:41,609
know all the things about ourselves.

84
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:48,059
But to understand generational
things is to understand a lot.

85
00:06:49,269 --> 00:06:52,929
And I usually try to add in
some stories, some folklore into

86
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:55,519
the topic of discussion today.

87
00:06:55,889 --> 00:07:01,229
But instead of pulling from
some ancient folklore or even

88
00:07:01,799 --> 00:07:02,204
Courtney Pearl [07:05.074]

89
00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:06,779
something that has been around a long
time, I'm going to have you look at

90
00:07:07,459 --> 00:07:09,889
the movie Encanto, Disney's Encanto.

91
00:07:11,269 --> 00:07:17,289
Because when this movie came out and
I watched it with my kids, I couldn't

92
00:07:17,289 --> 00:07:23,659
believe all of the things that I had been
devoting my time studying and learning

93
00:07:23,659 --> 00:07:27,749
about when it comes to healing work.

94
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:34,359
and have this movie come out and explain
it or give examples of it so explicitly.

95
00:07:35,049 --> 00:07:35,919
I was going around.

96
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:39,579
I still am going around saying,
have you seen this movie in Kanto?

97
00:07:40,749 --> 00:07:45,269
And people are like, no, because if they
don't have kids, they probably haven't.

98
00:07:46,029 --> 00:07:52,549
But I'm telling people who don't have
kids and don't have any reason to watch

99
00:07:52,549 --> 00:07:55,069
a Disney movie, please watch this movie.

100
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:57,139
You must see this movie.

101
00:07:57,799 --> 00:07:59,209
I don't care what age you are.

102
00:08:00,909 --> 00:08:05,239
In my line of work, when you are observing
the world in such a Magickal way, when

103
00:08:05,239 --> 00:08:11,189
you are able to see and feel energies,
and I believe everybody has the potential

104
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:18,379
for that if they seek that, in my line
of work, my experience, everything that

105
00:08:18,379 --> 00:08:24,279
you can see and feel in a person when
they are with their family, especially

106
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:26,289
if you can be around their family,

107
00:08:26,889 --> 00:08:28,659
many generations of their family.

108
00:08:31,289 --> 00:08:39,480
It's almost like you can feel and taste
the things in the air around everyone

109
00:08:39,539 --> 00:08:42,739
involved that makes them who they are.

110
00:08:43,939 --> 00:08:47,729
And it's interesting because
I married into a family with a

111
00:08:47,729 --> 00:08:50,749
lot of their own family trauma.

112
00:08:51,829 --> 00:08:52,129
Many tragic things have

113
00:08:54,129 --> 00:08:58,289
husband's family, a lot of people,
a lot of family members that

114
00:08:58,289 --> 00:08:59,959
have died young, unfortunately.

115
00:09:00,179 --> 00:09:07,419
And when you get a chance to be around
such grief or people who are grieving,

116
00:09:08,479 --> 00:09:13,160
and just when it seems like they are
done grieving or if there is even such

117
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,849
a thing or gotten back into a normal
day-to-day life, something else happens

118
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:20,509
and the grieving starts all over again.

119
00:09:20,909 --> 00:09:21,199
Courtney Pearl [09:26.474]

120
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:24,659
And I have learned to become
very comfortable, very

121
00:09:24,669 --> 00:09:27,139
friendly with death and grief.

122
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:33,959
It's something that I have thought
a lot about and have been around.

123
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:40,759
And I actually have a very
respectful relationship with that.

124
00:09:41,829 --> 00:09:46,799
But the movie Encanto, it starts out with
this woman who has three babies and her

125
00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:50,779
husband dies tragically running from...

126
00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:55,139
some oppressors that are chasing
them and they have to seek safety.

127
00:09:55,629 --> 00:09:59,659
Because of this trauma that they've
experienced, they receive a Magickal

128
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,169
gift and their family is going to
be able to have these Magickal gifts

129
00:10:04,309 --> 00:10:09,249
that will help the town to heal
from what they've been through.

130
00:10:10,299 --> 00:10:14,139
They're very, very special because
every member of this family, when

131
00:10:14,139 --> 00:10:15,609
they come of age, they get to...

132
00:10:17,449 --> 00:10:21,199
open a door that is Magickally
made for them in this Magickal

133
00:10:21,219 --> 00:10:24,609
house and each member of the family
is going to get a Magickal gift.

134
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:32,689
And it might be strength or the ability
to grow flowers or talk to animals

135
00:10:32,749 --> 00:10:39,419
or have prophecies or cook healing
foods that when someone eats it their

136
00:10:39,429 --> 00:10:41,369
ailments are Magickally disappeared.

137
00:10:43,169 --> 00:10:46,079
Superhuman hearing, all
of these really cool

138
00:10:46,199 --> 00:10:52,159
Magickal gifts that they receive
and the message is unbeknownst

139
00:10:52,409 --> 00:10:57,709
to grandma that your value in
this family is tied to your gift.

140
00:10:58,509 --> 00:11:02,289
And when one of the members
of the family does not receive

141
00:11:02,289 --> 00:11:05,899
her gift, it's very confusing.

142
00:11:06,289 --> 00:11:10,379
And she is the main character who is

143
00:11:12,459 --> 00:11:22,229
Her purpose, her value to this family
is questioned, even though the family

144
00:11:22,229 --> 00:11:30,929
is incredibly loving and incredibly
close, it begs the question and it is

145
00:11:31,259 --> 00:11:38,089
forcing everyone in the family to look
at what these gifts actually mean about

146
00:11:38,089 --> 00:11:40,569
them and how they value each other.

147
00:11:40,849 --> 00:11:41,559
Courtney Pearl [11:48.59]

148
00:11:42,179 --> 00:11:48,519
And at the end of the movie, there
isn't really a bad guy, which is

149
00:11:48,529 --> 00:11:52,059
my favorite part about all of the
newest Pixar Disney movies, really.

150
00:11:52,059 --> 00:11:55,349
It's like, there's no villain
in this story necessarily.

151
00:11:55,349 --> 00:12:02,189
It is about this family coming to an
awareness of what toxic traits they had

152
00:12:02,189 --> 00:12:07,729
been perpetuating for each other and
how they can begin to heal and begin to

153
00:12:07,729 --> 00:12:11,269
witness that and to begin to make changes.

154
00:12:11,959 --> 00:12:15,249
to how they treat each other, to
how they see each other, and to how

155
00:12:15,249 --> 00:12:16,669
they support and love each other.

156
00:12:17,709 --> 00:12:20,809
And it's all because of this one
girl who didn't receive a gift.

157
00:12:21,219 --> 00:12:22,249
It was her gift.

158
00:12:23,289 --> 00:12:28,369
The gift was her, just
her, not the Magick, right?

159
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:37,649
So I want to propose some things
today and I want you to have an

160
00:12:37,659 --> 00:12:40,029
open mind as you listen to how

161
00:12:40,379 --> 00:12:43,569
When a lot of clients come to me
for healing work, whether it's reiki

162
00:12:43,569 --> 00:12:49,489
or emotional processing, there are
indications to me when something may have

163
00:12:49,489 --> 00:12:55,579
been a generational trauma or generational
energy that was passed on to them.

164
00:12:55,579 --> 00:13:01,062
Courtney Pearl [13:05.728]

165
00:13:02,889 --> 00:13:02,999
Okay.

166
00:13:02,999 --> 00:13:08,358
Just a second, I'm gonna adjust
my camera here for a second.

167
00:13:08,358 --> 00:13:09,809
Courtney Pearl [13:16.27]

168
00:13:09,809 --> 00:13:14,359
It's just my camera was on the wrong
angle and it was driving me crazy.

169
00:13:15,609 --> 00:13:15,899
That's better.

170
00:13:16,299 --> 00:13:16,789
I think.

171
00:13:17,739 --> 00:13:18,139
Okay.

172
00:13:18,829 --> 00:13:19,499
Sorry about that.

173
00:13:19,529 --> 00:13:22,099
I'll try to maybe edit that out or not.

174
00:13:22,129 --> 00:13:24,979
Maybe that's just the real,
real adjusting my camera.

175
00:13:26,499 --> 00:13:26,979
Okay.

176
00:13:27,219 --> 00:13:28,559
Generational healing.

177
00:13:28,569 --> 00:13:32,779
So there is some trauma and healing
markers that did not start with us.

178
00:13:33,249 --> 00:13:37,749
That is actually even before our own
birth, before our own conception.

179
00:13:38,229 --> 00:13:41,289
And this can be explained in psychology.

180
00:13:41,289 --> 00:13:44,319
It can be explained in the
mystical energetic world.

181
00:13:44,869 --> 00:13:51,019
Whatever way you look at it, I think
that we can agree that there are things

182
00:13:51,169 --> 00:14:00,029
we are dealing with in our lifetime,
obstacles and belief systems that may

183
00:14:00,029 --> 00:14:05,339
not have even started with us that
were something that we are either.

184
00:14:05,739 --> 00:14:10,639
It's written into our DNA from the
generations that came before us or

185
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:15,439
from experiences they've had that
are passed on, the trauma and the

186
00:14:15,469 --> 00:14:17,499
effects of the trauma are passed on.

187
00:14:18,179 --> 00:14:23,349
It's kind of like for anybody that's
done any traveling around Europe, I

188
00:14:23,349 --> 00:14:30,089
haven't been to a lot of the places
like Germany and Poland and France

189
00:14:30,699 --> 00:14:34,429
that I have heard people talk about
visiting those places and that...

190
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:41,919
there is still a very, there's
an awareness that there was

191
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:44,239
trauma from the war still there.

192
00:14:44,769 --> 00:14:49,959
Even though probably mostly everybody
who actually experienced the war or

193
00:14:49,959 --> 00:14:53,449
who lived through it has passed on
by now, these are the generations

194
00:14:53,449 --> 00:14:54,939
of people who've come after that.

195
00:14:55,329 --> 00:15:00,569
And just speaking to my friends who are
from Germany and who have family members,

196
00:15:01,569 --> 00:15:09,719
living in Germany and they let me know
that the effects of the war have changed

197
00:15:09,719 --> 00:15:14,439
the generations that have come after
that and that there is still things like

198
00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:19,109
when they see us stand up and put our
hand on our heart and say the Pledge of

199
00:15:19,109 --> 00:15:26,009
Allegiance, they almost cringe because
patriotism is maybe played down a bit

200
00:15:26,009 --> 00:15:27,869
more in Germany at this point in time.

201
00:15:28,109 --> 00:15:31,329
There is something that comes from

202
00:15:31,329 --> 00:15:31,644
Courtney Pearl [15:40.97]

203
00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:34,659
those experiences that happened
before we were even born.

204
00:15:35,689 --> 00:15:36,939
And I'm going to give some examples.

205
00:15:36,989 --> 00:15:42,479
I read a book in my learning, in my
education called Emotional Inheritance.

206
00:15:42,999 --> 00:15:48,369
And this is a psychoanalyst who took
case studies where she believes there is

207
00:15:48,369 --> 00:15:53,169
a great correlation between some of the
traumas that we experience now when people

208
00:15:53,169 --> 00:15:58,069
are seeking therapy and seeking healing
and seeking help that if they know what

209
00:15:58,069 --> 00:16:00,309
came before them, if they can find out

210
00:16:00,469 --> 00:16:06,279
what their ancestors went
through can aid in their healing.

211
00:16:07,369 --> 00:16:10,979
She talks about one case study
in particular that I was always

212
00:16:11,009 --> 00:16:16,919
fascinated with where she talks
about a man who was going through

213
00:16:16,989 --> 00:16:18,409
a breakup with his boyfriend.

214
00:16:18,789 --> 00:16:23,829
It had been two years that he had
been dealing with the pain and

215
00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:26,089
grief of this relationship ending.

216
00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:30,729
started talking to him about his father.

217
00:16:31,179 --> 00:16:39,449
And he was saying, well, my father
had actually unalived himself in a

218
00:16:41,629 --> 00:16:46,159
probably when he was a child,
it was very long time ago.

219
00:16:46,709 --> 00:16:49,389
And he says, of course,
that's very traumatic.

220
00:16:49,389 --> 00:16:52,209
I mean, that's something that
we, my family has a lot of grief

221
00:16:52,209 --> 00:16:56,719
over, but, oh no, I'm sorry,
I'm getting the details wrong.

222
00:16:56,719 --> 00:16:59,809
So it's not his father, it
was his father's father.

223
00:17:00,339 --> 00:17:05,109
His father had trauma because his
grandfather had unaligned himself

224
00:17:05,159 --> 00:17:06,829
when his father was a child.

225
00:17:07,419 --> 00:17:10,909
So he was talking about that trauma
of like, my dad had always been

226
00:17:10,909 --> 00:17:12,609
really loving and supportive of me.

227
00:17:12,939 --> 00:17:16,229
Even as I came out of the closet
as gay, he was always really

228
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:17,519
loving and supportive of me.

229
00:17:18,739 --> 00:17:21,419
But he says, I can't place it.

230
00:17:21,569 --> 00:17:23,289
I have no proof whatsoever.

231
00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:28,829
But I have a feeling that my grandfather,
who had never met, he had never met

232
00:17:28,829 --> 00:17:34,449
before, had those struggles with...

233
00:17:36,029 --> 00:17:36,269
Courtney Pearl [17:45.522]

234
00:17:36,419 --> 00:17:38,739
depression and things
like that caused him to

235
00:17:38,869 --> 00:17:46,049
to unalive himself, that had
happened because perhaps his

236
00:17:46,049 --> 00:17:47,239
grandfather was also gay.

237
00:17:48,179 --> 00:17:50,729
And he just said, I don't
know why I feel that way.

238
00:17:50,729 --> 00:17:52,269
I have absolutely no proof.

239
00:17:52,299 --> 00:17:54,299
It's just a feeling I've always had.

240
00:17:55,669 --> 00:18:02,909
And as he worked through that,
he was able to heal some of the

241
00:18:02,909 --> 00:18:05,959
grief that he was having over
this relationship that had ended.

242
00:18:06,509 --> 00:18:10,619
That for some reason, even though he knew
the relationship, it was best that that...

243
00:18:10,629 --> 00:18:11,459
that had ended.

244
00:18:11,929 --> 00:18:18,489
He could agree that he was ready to move
on and ready to find love again, but for

245
00:18:18,489 --> 00:18:23,169
some reason he was just having so much
struggle with this relationship ending.

246
00:18:24,049 --> 00:18:27,849
And then once he was able to kind of
work through what it would have felt

247
00:18:27,849 --> 00:18:32,019
like for his grandfather to not be with
the person he loved because he could

248
00:18:32,019 --> 00:18:36,449
never have in his time and place and
his generation come out of the closet

249
00:18:36,479 --> 00:18:39,279
and been authentic with who he was.

250
00:18:39,859 --> 00:18:43,519
Once he worked through some of those
details, he was able to really, for

251
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:47,889
the first time, move on from that
relationship and find love again.

252
00:18:48,679 --> 00:18:52,449
And what's interesting is in the book,
she outlines this this whole story,

253
00:18:52,449 --> 00:18:58,429
this case study, but she says he does
have a conversation at one point,

254
00:18:59,259 --> 00:19:05,479
many years later, he, he talks to his
aunt who was older than his father

255
00:19:06,929 --> 00:19:13,029
died and she was able to discuss with
him that yes, in fact, their father

256
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:20,299
had been gay, was homosexual and had
wanted to have a relationship with

257
00:19:20,299 --> 00:19:24,559
a man and couldn't because he was
married and had children with his wife.

258
00:19:24,629 --> 00:19:32,449
And that led to a lot of his mental health
issues and things that he struggled with.

259
00:19:33,179 --> 00:19:33,779
Courtney Pearl [19:47.398]

260
00:19:34,049 --> 00:19:38,969
When he found out that every feeling
that he had innately had, his intuition

261
00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:46,209
had told him was true, it released
a new level of healing in him.

262
00:19:46,749 --> 00:19:52,659
Because as he began to heal his ability
to be with the person he loves, to

263
00:19:52,669 --> 00:20:00,979
find love with another person that was
also healing the generations of trauma

264
00:20:00,979 --> 00:20:02,589
and pain that had come before him.

265
00:20:03,829 --> 00:20:07,509
I know when I'm doing healing work with
people, there are some things, elements

266
00:20:07,509 --> 00:20:14,179
that come up that depending on certain
energy things like the colors that I

267
00:20:14,179 --> 00:20:15,839
ask them to pull out of their body.

268
00:20:15,889 --> 00:20:22,829
If you have a certain color and you are
saying, yeah, this color is black, which

269
00:20:22,829 --> 00:20:28,709
doesn't always indicate generational
healing, but sometimes depending on the...

270
00:20:29,589 --> 00:20:32,789
the emotion point that we're
pulling out and all the heavy

271
00:20:32,789 --> 00:20:34,369
energy that has to do with that.

272
00:20:34,809 --> 00:20:39,799
I will say, does this feel like
it might be a generational issue?

273
00:20:40,619 --> 00:20:43,199
Is this something that
didn't start with you?

274
00:20:43,999 --> 00:20:48,489
Could it perhaps be something that
happened to generations before you?

275
00:20:49,949 --> 00:20:51,809
And I'm going to talk a
little bit more about my own

276
00:20:51,819 --> 00:20:53,329
experiences in that department.

277
00:20:53,329 --> 00:20:58,649
But I did have another friend
that was doing the healing.

278
00:20:59,309 --> 00:21:04,809
art school with and she had talked
about this and she had talked about

279
00:21:04,819 --> 00:21:11,249
in her own experience she always had
to work out feelings of abandonment.

280
00:21:11,489 --> 00:21:14,819
Feelings of abandonment came up
quite often for her in her healing

281
00:21:14,819 --> 00:21:18,869
sessions and emotional processing and
she thought it was very interesting

282
00:21:18,869 --> 00:21:23,599
because she had distinct memories of
times when she thought or had fear

283
00:21:23,879 --> 00:21:26,039
that her dad was going to leave her.

284
00:21:26,749 --> 00:21:30,299
and that fear of abandonment had
carried into her marriage and her

285
00:21:30,299 --> 00:21:32,209
relationships later in life too.

286
00:21:32,589 --> 00:21:39,519
This fear of abandonment was always
coming up for her and was subconsciously

287
00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:44,099
causing a lot of issues, which you
know it can, but not intentionally, not

288
00:21:44,099 --> 00:21:51,289
consciously, just was coming up a lot
because fear is not a very high vibration.

289
00:21:51,379 --> 00:21:51,566
Courtney Pearl [22:04.762]

290
00:21:51,629 --> 00:21:54,839
And when we are experiencing fear,
we are not able to experience

291
00:21:54,919 --> 00:21:58,409
the higher vibrations of love
that connects us with people.

292
00:21:58,949 --> 00:22:03,299
So if a lot of our arguments and our
issues and in relationships are coming

293
00:22:03,309 --> 00:22:09,659
based on fear, we're going to get to the
bottom of where that fear comes from.

294
00:22:10,529 --> 00:22:15,429
So as she was doing her healing
work on fear of abandonment, she was

295
00:22:15,469 --> 00:22:19,779
very confused because she thought,
I haven't actually experienced fear.

296
00:22:20,989 --> 00:22:24,349
or incidences of
abandonment in my lifetime.

297
00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:28,249
That's not something that
she had experienced much of.

298
00:22:29,199 --> 00:22:32,619
And so when questioning, why would
I have this fear of abandonment then

299
00:22:32,619 --> 00:22:40,649
if I'm having kind of the symptoms
or the PTSD symptoms of an event

300
00:22:40,659 --> 00:22:43,439
that didn't actually happen to me,
where would that have come from?

301
00:22:44,189 --> 00:22:48,639
And in doing her own family research,
and I know for us here in Utah,

302
00:22:48,949 --> 00:22:50,609
those of us in the Mormon culture,

303
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,959
Family genealogy is a big deal.

304
00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:54,419
It's a big, big thing.

305
00:22:55,069 --> 00:23:01,329
And so culturally, we are all very big
on getting our family history together,

306
00:23:01,339 --> 00:23:06,199
researching our genealogy, and there's
a lot of religious reasons for that.

307
00:23:06,249 --> 00:23:10,789
But for this particular incident, it was
incredibly helpful for her to go back

308
00:23:10,809 --> 00:23:15,949
into stories of her family generations
back and realize that there was a period

309
00:23:15,949 --> 00:23:19,329
of time where several of her ancestors

310
00:23:19,709 --> 00:23:26,289
in succession, in a row, had the
patriarch or man of the family had

311
00:23:26,289 --> 00:23:29,069
passed away young or had left the family.

312
00:23:30,609 --> 00:23:35,309
And so that gave her an incredible
awareness as to where that feeling of

313
00:23:35,309 --> 00:23:37,069
abandonment might be coming from for her.

314
00:23:37,379 --> 00:23:42,169
And when she pulls that out, when she
moves that energy out of her body,

315
00:23:43,229 --> 00:23:48,329
she is not just healing that energy in
herself, but she's actually taking it.

316
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:53,519
empowering herself to take it
for her generations before her.

317
00:23:54,259 --> 00:23:59,379
And so spiritually, if you believe in
the spirit and the spirit world, it

318
00:23:59,379 --> 00:24:06,239
would be kind of like our ancestors
lining up and saying, I'm so sorry I

319
00:24:06,239 --> 00:24:09,799
didn't deal with that in my lifetime
or that I had those experiences in

320
00:24:09,799 --> 00:24:14,619
my lifetime and passed on that fear
to you, but I'm here for you today.

321
00:24:14,629 --> 00:24:14,889
Courtney Pearl [24:28.238]

322
00:24:14,989 --> 00:24:19,419
to gather around you, to support you,
to put our hands on your shoulders,

323
00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:24,049
and to help you move this energy
out of your body so that you no

324
00:24:24,049 --> 00:24:30,209
longer have to live with that pain
and that low energy in your body.

325
00:24:31,249 --> 00:24:34,559
And that is a very powerful experience
for my clients to get to have.

326
00:24:35,069 --> 00:24:36,199
It is Magickal.

327
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:38,339
It is like doing Magick.

328
00:24:38,939 --> 00:24:42,059
And whether you're making it
into a spell or ritual or a

329
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,879
healing process or a session,

330
00:24:44,209 --> 00:24:49,489
you can create those circumstances
where you get to say, I no longer want

331
00:24:49,499 --> 00:24:51,459
to carry the burdens of my ancestors.

332
00:24:52,109 --> 00:25:00,519
I no longer want to live my life
with these same patterns showing

333
00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:02,569
up over and over and over again.

334
00:25:03,529 --> 00:25:07,049
And psychologists, I mean, in
the psychology world, you can

335
00:25:07,049 --> 00:25:13,259
definitely see the patterns such
as, you know, anger and rage.

336
00:25:13,549 --> 00:25:16,579
coming up for parents to their children.

337
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:22,279
If that is how they experience parenting
and if children experience that from

338
00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:26,479
their parents, it's more likely that
is the only way they will know how

339
00:25:26,479 --> 00:25:28,509
to carry that on to their children.

340
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,949
So you can see generational healing
in that same way as what was done

341
00:25:33,959 --> 00:25:39,599
to me, I do to others, unless I
decide to break those chains and

342
00:25:39,899 --> 00:25:42,609
create new patterns for my children.

343
00:25:43,249 --> 00:25:47,669
So all of this work that we are doing
to witness ourselves and to witness what

344
00:25:47,689 --> 00:25:53,689
our bodies hold is in the effort to break
patterns and chains that do not serve

345
00:25:53,699 --> 00:25:58,619
future generations, that we do no longer
want to ripple out into the world and

346
00:25:58,619 --> 00:26:00,709
have our children experience as well.

347
00:26:01,999 --> 00:26:08,619
It's up to us to do all of that
hard work, which is wonderful and

348
00:26:08,619 --> 00:26:11,059
empowering, and it also sucks.

349
00:26:11,649 --> 00:26:12,179
I mean.

350
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:16,099
If I can hear the voices of
your ancestors right now, I'm

351
00:26:16,099 --> 00:26:19,099
hearing them say, I'm so sorry.

352
00:26:19,869 --> 00:26:25,169
In my white light self, with all the
lessons I've learned, having crossed over

353
00:26:25,169 --> 00:26:30,899
into the plane of the other world or the
existence of the spirit realm, I would not

354
00:26:30,909 --> 00:26:34,759
have wanted you to deal with all of this.

355
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:40,669
I would never have purposely passed
this on to you, son or daughter.

356
00:26:42,179 --> 00:26:42,586
Courtney Pearl [26:56.022]

357
00:26:42,759 --> 00:26:45,679
But here we are, and
we are dealing with it.

358
00:26:47,019 --> 00:26:52,139
So, I wanna talk a little bit about my,
just give you another personal experience

359
00:26:52,139 --> 00:27:00,069
of my own, which is that, when I, before
I had done a lot of my own genealogy or

360
00:27:00,069 --> 00:27:05,979
ancestry, I only knew certain things,
like very vague facts and information,

361
00:27:05,979 --> 00:27:08,109
because mostly I was just not interested.

362
00:27:08,209 --> 00:27:08,639
I mean,

363
00:27:09,019 --> 00:27:12,829
ever before this, I would
be like, yeah, yeah.

364
00:27:13,049 --> 00:27:15,359
So our ancestors did that, whatever.

365
00:27:16,349 --> 00:27:18,859
Wasn't something that
I actively sought out.

366
00:27:18,939 --> 00:27:23,159
And I have cousins that are, one cousin
in particular that's a librarian and his

367
00:27:23,159 --> 00:27:26,339
favorite thing in the whole world, he's
very good at doing our family history.

368
00:27:26,379 --> 00:27:27,919
So when I have a question, I go to him.

369
00:27:28,419 --> 00:27:28,849
But.

370
00:27:30,949 --> 00:27:35,729
The point is, because I come from my
most recent ancestral history, which

371
00:27:35,739 --> 00:27:41,399
is not very old at all, is the Mormon
pioneers who came across the plains

372
00:27:41,929 --> 00:27:44,579
in the 1800s and settled here in Utah.

373
00:27:45,699 --> 00:27:50,459
If you talk to a lot of generational
Mormons that are not converts to

374
00:27:50,459 --> 00:27:52,609
the church, that is their story.

375
00:27:52,609 --> 00:27:56,329
If they live in Utah or they're from
Utah, they'll say, yep, my ancestors

376
00:27:56,329 --> 00:27:58,859
were doing the hand cards across...

377
00:27:59,139 --> 00:28:02,589
the plains and all the way through
the mountains and they were there

378
00:28:02,589 --> 00:28:06,589
in whichever company was with
Brigham Young that said this is

379
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:08,399
the place and settled here in Utah.

380
00:28:09,469 --> 00:28:14,439
Unfortunately, that means there's a lot
of trauma connected to that history.

381
00:28:17,169 --> 00:28:25,379
So if you don't know your family history,
I was kind of working with my groups that

382
00:28:25,579 --> 00:28:28,089
we were discussing the pain and grief.

383
00:28:28,479 --> 00:28:31,519
of having that be our part of our history.

384
00:28:31,999 --> 00:28:38,529
That because the pioneers came here and
because of the events that happened when

385
00:28:38,529 --> 00:28:47,339
they came here, a lot of active genocide
to the indigenous people, things that

386
00:28:47,659 --> 00:28:53,579
were very harmful and painful, and that
people who are descendants of that feel

387
00:28:53,579 --> 00:28:58,079
the pain and regret and the want to heal.

388
00:28:58,079 --> 00:28:58,237
Courtney Pearl [29:12.514]

389
00:28:58,289 --> 00:29:02,529
the want to do what we can to
heal that within ourselves, to

390
00:29:02,539 --> 00:29:06,439
decolonize, to work through that.

391
00:29:06,879 --> 00:29:11,359
I didn't know a lot of my own history,
so we were doing just a guided meditation

392
00:29:11,649 --> 00:29:15,979
where the leader of our group was
kind of helping us to work through

393
00:29:15,979 --> 00:29:20,159
some of those generational traumas
and she was saying, I'm going to take

394
00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:23,019
you back through with your ancestors.

395
00:29:24,419 --> 00:29:28,359
had us do in meditation where she
said, you're going to imagine a red

396
00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:31,359
thread connected from your belly.

397
00:29:32,219 --> 00:29:35,519
And you can see that red thread
stretch in front of you and

398
00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:38,329
behind you from your back.

399
00:29:38,389 --> 00:29:45,629
And if you follow that red string back,
you will meet those who came before you

400
00:29:45,779 --> 00:29:49,329
in your line, in your ancestral line.

401
00:29:49,349 --> 00:29:53,669
And as I walked myself back to meet

402
00:29:54,149 --> 00:29:56,109
the women who came before me.

403
00:29:56,209 --> 00:30:01,979
I had such vivid images
in my mind of a woman.

404
00:30:04,139 --> 00:30:10,859
who had come across the plains as one
of the pioneers, pioneer settlers, the

405
00:30:10,859 --> 00:30:18,979
Mormon pioneer settlers, and she had
lost all of her children along the way.

406
00:30:20,829 --> 00:30:25,969
And suddenly the pain and grief of my own
infertility came forward at this time.

407
00:30:26,019 --> 00:30:29,619
As I saw this image in
my mind, I realized that

408
00:30:30,299 --> 00:30:34,959
not only is my infertility something
that I had to work through and heal and

409
00:30:34,989 --> 00:30:41,449
understand about myself, I need to work
through the pain of that is connected to

410
00:30:41,449 --> 00:30:44,019
the ancestors that lost their children.

411
00:30:45,679 --> 00:30:50,999
And what I kept feeling from this
particular woman in my vision was

412
00:30:51,019 --> 00:30:57,279
that she was very angry because if
she had come across the plains to

413
00:30:57,279 --> 00:30:59,499
get a better life for her future.

414
00:30:59,499 --> 00:31:00,009
Courtney Pearl [31:14.466]

415
00:31:00,179 --> 00:31:04,639
for her children and for their
future, then what was it all for?

416
00:31:05,969 --> 00:31:07,289
What was she here for?

417
00:31:08,029 --> 00:31:11,809
She's coming into this valley,
in the Salt Lake Valley,

418
00:31:12,749 --> 00:31:15,409
childless, without her children.

419
00:31:16,419 --> 00:31:19,229
They had been buried on
the road along the way.

420
00:31:21,809 --> 00:31:31,439
And now she felt incredibly trapped and
grief stricken and really questioning

421
00:31:31,439 --> 00:31:33,429
what is the point of all of this?

422
00:31:33,649 --> 00:31:40,349
What was the point of following this
trek of religious fanatics across

423
00:31:40,409 --> 00:31:46,029
the plains into the valley and coming
here so that her children could have

424
00:31:46,029 --> 00:31:50,189
a better future and they all died?

425
00:31:52,109 --> 00:31:56,769
And that was an incredibly powerful
moment for me, because as I did more

426
00:31:56,769 --> 00:32:03,529
research and as I looked into the
stories of the pioneers that came across

427
00:32:03,529 --> 00:32:10,979
the plains and settled here, I was
incredibly sad for them, especially the

428
00:32:10,979 --> 00:32:16,449
women, because there were groups that
came with the Mormon pioneers thinking

429
00:32:16,449 --> 00:32:18,199
that they were coming to a better life.

430
00:32:18,249 --> 00:32:18,609
And-

431
00:32:18,729 --> 00:32:21,239
Actually, a lot of them were
told that they would be going to

432
00:32:21,239 --> 00:32:23,979
California, that they would be apart.

433
00:32:24,339 --> 00:32:30,879
They would be going to where there
would be a state in the US, but they

434
00:32:30,879 --> 00:32:36,849
were, for lack of a better term, tricked
by Brigham Young, who came here and

435
00:32:36,849 --> 00:32:42,609
saw this valley and said the words,
those famous words, this is the place.

436
00:32:44,099 --> 00:32:46,219
I can only imagine a lot
of those women who were

437
00:32:48,339 --> 00:32:51,999
because their husbands had died
along the trail or because their

438
00:32:51,999 --> 00:32:53,629
children had died along the trail.

439
00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:56,559
And now where were they to go?

440
00:32:56,609 --> 00:32:57,929
What were they to do now?

441
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:03,079
This company they were with was not taking
them to California like they had thought.

442
00:33:03,489 --> 00:33:09,359
And now because polygamy was very
much a thing, they were going to

443
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:14,749
be forced to marry men just so
that they would have protection

444
00:33:14,749 --> 00:33:16,239
and a family to provide for them.

445
00:33:16,329 --> 00:33:17,069
Courtney Pearl [33:31.75]

446
00:33:17,399 --> 00:33:20,229
and probably father, you
know, children on them.

447
00:33:20,339 --> 00:33:23,669
So this is very painful.

448
00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:31,159
This is something that I really want
to bring forward for people like me

449
00:33:31,189 --> 00:33:36,449
who are descendants of those pioneers,
whether you're still in a church or

450
00:33:36,449 --> 00:33:39,879
not, it doesn't matter because that
generational trauma does carry within

451
00:33:39,879 --> 00:33:41,659
us into our bodies and into our DNA.

452
00:33:43,339 --> 00:33:46,559
And it was powerful for me to

453
00:33:46,719 --> 00:33:51,379
associate that to some of the pain and
grief that I've had in my lifetime with

454
00:33:52,639 --> 00:33:58,689
my infertility or things that have come
up for me in my healing work of my own.

455
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:05,319
So I always tell people because although
the Mormon church and those who are really

456
00:34:05,319 --> 00:34:10,899
good at doing their genealogy and knowing
their family's history and for the family

457
00:34:10,899 --> 00:34:15,989
members that kept a written record like
journals and letters and things like that.

458
00:34:16,339 --> 00:34:20,249
that is a great privilege to
have those items, to have that

459
00:34:20,259 --> 00:34:22,009
history, and to know what happened.

460
00:34:23,189 --> 00:34:30,769
I want to reach out for a moment to
take consideration of all of the people

461
00:34:30,769 --> 00:34:37,699
who are descendants of slaves and of
people of color, people of all over the

462
00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:41,819
world who are not so privileged to have
record or documentation of their family

463
00:34:41,819 --> 00:34:45,239
history, people who from closed adoptions.

464
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:49,769
do not know their birth family's
history and do not know the genetic

465
00:34:49,769 --> 00:34:55,809
history of their family, they are
working at a disadvantage, or so it

466
00:34:55,809 --> 00:35:00,379
may seem, because they don't have that
information to help with their healing.

467
00:35:01,459 --> 00:35:06,129
And to that I would like to say, even
if you do not have the information

468
00:35:06,129 --> 00:35:09,359
available to you, your body remembers.

469
00:35:10,019 --> 00:35:13,239
You have that information
written into your DNA.

470
00:35:14,409 --> 00:35:15,569
It's part of you.

471
00:35:16,029 --> 00:35:20,639
It gets carried on from generation
to generation, whether you

472
00:35:20,689 --> 00:35:22,459
have that documentation or not.

473
00:35:23,159 --> 00:35:28,639
And to that, I would very much
recommend doing some of the spiritual

474
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:33,179
and energetic work of accessing that
information within your own body.

475
00:35:34,339 --> 00:35:38,039
And that's something that I do in
the IPT emotional process session,

476
00:35:38,059 --> 00:35:43,309
is I work with people who I say, it
doesn't actually matter if this is a...

477
00:35:43,319 --> 00:35:43,434
Courtney Pearl [35:57.326]

478
00:35:43,459 --> 00:35:47,159
a logical, practical memory that
you have because we are working with

479
00:35:47,169 --> 00:35:50,859
feelings and we are working with what
your body is going to bring forward.

480
00:35:52,069 --> 00:35:54,909
So I've told people in sessions
before, if you're looking to do

481
00:35:54,909 --> 00:35:57,369
generational work, start within.

482
00:35:57,989 --> 00:36:02,229
Even if you aren't able or don't want
to do the research on your family

483
00:36:02,229 --> 00:36:08,759
history, start within, look within,
start with a meditation, take yourself

484
00:36:08,759 --> 00:36:11,789
on a journey and back into your...

485
00:36:13,749 --> 00:36:15,219
into your own.

486
00:36:18,139 --> 00:36:25,999
family into your own past because it
was part of my journey to go back and to

487
00:36:25,999 --> 00:36:32,099
see what the recent history of my family
had done and been through, but to go

488
00:36:32,099 --> 00:36:36,729
back even further than that and try to
connect with my Celtic ancestors and bring

489
00:36:36,729 --> 00:36:46,679
forward what healing and what connection
that I had with my motherland of...

490
00:36:47,159 --> 00:36:51,669
the Celtic people, which put me
on the trajectory to becoming what

491
00:36:51,669 --> 00:36:53,219
I am today, a Celtic priestess.

492
00:36:53,899 --> 00:36:58,119
So it was all part of that generational
healing that led me to where I am now.

493
00:36:58,809 --> 00:37:02,819
So I do want to just address really
quick that part of this work, if you

494
00:37:02,869 --> 00:37:07,699
are in the Magickal realm, if you are
what I call a like to call myself a swin

495
00:37:07,709 --> 00:37:13,399
rag Welsh for a charmer or a charming
charmer woman, woman who does Magick.

496
00:37:13,939 --> 00:37:17,539
If you are in the world of, of
wanting to explore witchcraft

497
00:37:17,539 --> 00:37:19,839
and Magick and things like that.

498
00:37:20,489 --> 00:37:20,629
Courtney Pearl [37:40.302]

499
00:37:20,679 --> 00:37:24,719
There is one thing about generational
healing that you may particularly have

500
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,259
to address and that is witch wounds.

501
00:37:27,649 --> 00:37:32,619
It even was quite a big step for me to
be able to associate myself with the

502
00:37:32,619 --> 00:37:42,459
word witch or to say, yes, I am a witch,
I do witchcraft, I do work in the realm

503
00:37:42,459 --> 00:37:49,039
oMagickic or instead of just being very
careful and saying, I do energy healing.

504
00:37:49,359 --> 00:37:57,580
And I'm just a simple girl
who likes to I like crystals.

505
00:37:57,879 --> 00:37:59,140
I put crystals in my house.

506
00:37:59,629 --> 00:38:00,239
I like that.

507
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,709
Sometimes I hang a broom above my door.

508
00:38:02,709 --> 00:38:07,880
But that's just to make it so that
bad energy doesn't come in the house.

509
00:38:08,029 --> 00:38:10,800
You know, it's just a very
simple, no, that's witchcraft.

510
00:38:11,450 --> 00:38:14,700
Please, blowing out candles on
your birthday is witchcraft.

511
00:38:14,810 --> 00:38:15,080
OK?

512
00:38:15,919 --> 00:38:16,349
So.

513
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:24,580
I think that it's really important to
claim our identity, which is me starting

514
00:38:24,580 --> 00:38:27,259
this podcast and saying I am a witch.

515
00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:30,270
I am a pagan witch.

516
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,069
I am a folk witch.

517
00:38:33,140 --> 00:38:36,859
I am okay with saying that
because it's my identity.

518
00:38:36,870 --> 00:38:38,089
It's part of who I am.

519
00:38:38,629 --> 00:38:43,959
And in saying that, I need to
come to terms with the fact

520
00:38:43,980 --> 00:38:46,270
that those that came before me.

521
00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:53,180
that did the work that I do, that
speak out when something feels

522
00:38:53,190 --> 00:39:01,140
unjust, when I talk about energy
healing and vibrational energy and

523
00:39:01,149 --> 00:39:06,640
rituals and practice and worship and
whatever it is that I talk about, that

524
00:39:08,899 --> 00:39:12,919
Anybody else having done that in past
generations would have been called a

525
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,210
witch and would have been persecuted.

526
00:39:16,930 --> 00:39:17,790
Courtney Pearl [39:39.662]

527
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,589
Even women who never used the word
witch, but would say, you can come to

528
00:39:22,589 --> 00:39:25,029
me if you need help with something.

529
00:39:25,450 --> 00:39:30,080
I know a few tricks and I know a
few things that might help you.

530
00:39:30,430 --> 00:39:32,469
I can put together a charm.

531
00:39:32,609 --> 00:39:34,370
I can put together a blessing.

532
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,069
They were called witches
and they were burned for it.

533
00:39:39,740 --> 00:39:46,429
And as we know from the Salem witch
trials, sometimes those women were

534
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,450
quite simply just a woman who
spoke her mind or had an opinion.

535
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:57,529
And that's all it took for her to be
gathered up and tortured and imprisoned

536
00:39:57,910 --> 00:39:59,820
and eventually hung or burned.

537
00:40:01,540 --> 00:40:05,609
And it's important to address that when
talking about generational healing because

538
00:40:05,850 --> 00:40:13,479
my fears are not just stemming from my own
ancestors, my own bloodline, but from the

539
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,979
experiences of the witches and the people

540
00:40:16,129 --> 00:40:17,929
who came before me, who do what I do.

541
00:40:19,539 --> 00:40:20,414
Courtney Pearl [40:42.222]

542
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:29,360
I was once told in a past life regression
session that I was one of the women

543
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,780
in the Salem witch trials and that
in many generations of my past lives,

544
00:40:35,370 --> 00:40:41,080
I was a woman in the village who was
known for helping people, who was known

545
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:48,860
for knowing things about herbs and
medicines and charms and sometimes just…

546
00:40:49,470 --> 00:40:53,229
being the woman in the village who was
just a little bit odd and nobody wanted to

547
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:54,950
talk to because they were afraid of her.

548
00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:01,149
So if that gives you any insight into
who I am or what I'm all about, then

549
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,330
I don't know what does because that
gives me a lot of insight into myself.

550
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:13,400
Okay, and then when doing generational
healing, when doing an integrated process

551
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,399
session, when I do a processing healing
work with people, if they need some...

552
00:41:18,459 --> 00:41:20,930
help and support in vibrational energy.

553
00:41:21,369 --> 00:41:26,870
I often ask a client if they would
like me to muscle test and figure out

554
00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:31,810
what rocks or crystals would be a good
support for them in what they need,

555
00:41:32,299 --> 00:41:36,810
or if they're not much of a crystal
person, that's okay, because Bach flower

556
00:41:36,810 --> 00:41:39,180
essences are incredibly helpful as well.

557
00:41:39,950 --> 00:41:42,839
I don't sell those things
myself, but I know how to get

558
00:41:42,839 --> 00:41:44,040
them or where to access them.

559
00:41:44,069 --> 00:41:47,549
And if you had the

560
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:54,399
a session that was working with
generational healing or was helping

561
00:41:54,399 --> 00:41:58,359
you to clear a lot of negative
energy that didn't start with you.

562
00:41:58,730 --> 00:42:01,230
You would want to have a little
support in helping you hold

563
00:42:01,230 --> 00:42:02,819
that vibrational frequency.

564
00:42:03,319 --> 00:42:07,550
Bach flower essences are little
tinctures of that flower that

565
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:09,430
holds that vibrational energy.

566
00:42:09,899 --> 00:42:11,420
It's just the essence of the flower.

567
00:42:11,420 --> 00:42:12,800
It's not the flower itself.

568
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,750
So typically they're okay
to ingest because the flower

569
00:42:16,750 --> 00:42:18,720
is no longer in the mixture.

570
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,120
but has held the essence of the flower.

571
00:42:22,569 --> 00:42:27,850
So those are taken, you know, drops
under the tongue or sometimes it

572
00:42:27,850 --> 00:42:31,910
doesn't even require the Bach flower
essence or the tincture itself, but

573
00:42:32,029 --> 00:42:39,230
to name the flower and tap it into
your chest for however many days

574
00:42:39,399 --> 00:42:41,410
that you might need that support.

575
00:42:41,589 --> 00:42:42,069
So.

576
00:42:42,259 --> 00:42:42,614
Courtney Pearl [43:03.982]

577
00:42:42,879 --> 00:42:46,049
That's just a little tidbit of
information on the Magickal side.

578
00:42:46,049 --> 00:42:48,889
If that's something that you are
interested in looking into, I would

579
00:42:48,890 --> 00:42:52,859
recommend that you seek me out and we
will get that figured out together.

580
00:42:54,140 --> 00:42:55,660
Okay, so perfect.

581
00:42:55,690 --> 00:42:59,359
My question from a listener today
was going to be, what if I don't

582
00:43:00,210 --> 00:43:04,049
actually know my own family history,
which I did kind of touch on in

583
00:43:04,049 --> 00:43:05,839
this episode talking about that.

584
00:43:06,310 --> 00:43:11,300
And what I personally can do
for people, if this is the case,

585
00:43:12,299 --> 00:43:13,349
They were adopted.

586
00:43:13,359 --> 00:43:17,390
They don't know their family history but
they would like to do some generational

587
00:43:17,390 --> 00:43:24,719
work to heal and be witness to some of
those things that will help them and I

588
00:43:24,749 --> 00:43:31,160
can do a guided meditation or you know
taking you through During a Reiki session.

589
00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:38,589
I will use my drum to help Bring
a person into a very relaxed alpha

590
00:43:38,620 --> 00:43:41,249
brainwave state and then we can

591
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,940
I can guide you through a guided
meditation or sort of like a journey

592
00:43:45,230 --> 00:43:47,779
if you are of the shamanic practice.

593
00:43:48,299 --> 00:43:50,470
They take you on a
little bit of a journey.

594
00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:53,290
It's kind of like leaving your
body for a moment and going back

595
00:43:53,290 --> 00:43:57,019
in time and discovering what sort
of things you need to be aware

596
00:43:57,020 --> 00:43:59,690
of to help you to begin to heal.

597
00:44:01,619 --> 00:44:08,310
Okay, so that is something that even if
we do not have that physical evidence

598
00:44:08,420 --> 00:44:14,800
of what your family history is, that
does not mean that there cannot be

599
00:44:14,810 --> 00:44:20,560
powerful generational healing done when
working through some of the things that

600
00:44:21,110 --> 00:44:24,110
you're finding stuck in this lifetime.

601
00:44:25,290 --> 00:44:27,500
So if you feel like a
pattern keeps coming up.

602
00:44:27,770 --> 00:44:31,499
You're like, I keep thinking
I'm never gonna find love.

603
00:44:31,500 --> 00:44:34,030
I keep thinking I'm never
going to have enough money.

604
00:44:34,339 --> 00:44:35,830
I cannot get past that.

605
00:44:35,859 --> 00:44:39,379
I just can't seem to believe it.

606
00:44:40,020 --> 00:44:42,249
Then that might be for you.

607
00:44:42,899 --> 00:44:49,259
So reach out to me and I'm gonna
let you know how to do that after

608
00:44:49,259 --> 00:44:56,750
we talk about next week, our
episode is going to be on the

609
00:44:56,750 --> 00:44:57,319
Courtney Pearl [45:18.606]

610
00:44:57,509 --> 00:45:02,089
balance of masculine and feminine energy.

611
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:06,839
This is super important for when
you're creating spells and when you

612
00:45:06,839 --> 00:45:11,589
are creating manifestation or when
you are just going through your daily

613
00:45:11,589 --> 00:45:16,590
life, understanding yourself better and
knowing what the masculine and feminine

614
00:45:16,609 --> 00:45:22,430
energies actually are because I'm going
to give you a little teaser has nothing

615
00:45:22,430 --> 00:45:24,170
to do with being a boy or a girl.

616
00:45:24,740 --> 00:45:26,200
It has nothing to do with gender.

617
00:45:26,509 --> 00:45:29,520
Masculine and feminine energies.

618
00:45:30,009 --> 00:45:33,030
It's going to be an
amazing, amazing episode.

619
00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:34,160
I can't wait for that one.

620
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:42,930
I would like to invite you to take what
we've talked about today and use it

621
00:45:43,339 --> 00:45:46,589
to find Magick in your everyday life.

622
00:45:47,370 --> 00:45:53,350
Even if that means in your next
quiet moment talking to your

623
00:45:53,390 --> 00:45:56,550
own ancestors and listening.

624
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,240
to what they have to tell you.

625
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:01,915
Courtney Pearl [46:24.206]

626
00:46:03,140 --> 00:46:10,260
Use Magick in your everyday life
to strengthen relationships,

627
00:46:10,819 --> 00:46:13,349
heal, prosper and thrive.

628
00:46:14,460 --> 00:46:18,229

00:47:31,770 --> 00:47:35,210
And you can read about it after
you've listened to the episode.

645
00:47:36,759 --> 00:47:42,190
Then you can also go to
my website, prism-healing.

646
00:47:42,220 --> 00:47:47,410
That's prism, like as in colors
of the rainbow, prism-healing.com

647
00:47:48,230 --> 00:47:50,720
to book private sessions with me.

648
00:47:50,740 --> 00:47:52,779
That is a Reiki session.

649
00:47:53,209 --> 00:47:57,870
You can do a emotional process session,
which I've mentioned many times and

650
00:47:57,870 --> 00:48:00,509
is very incredibly powerful healing.

651
00:48:01,359 --> 00:48:05,160
I also do intuitive card readings if
you're looking to get a little bit of

652
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:13,229
clarity and get some answers to your
questions and many other services

653
00:48:13,230 --> 00:48:15,219
that I provide there on my website.

654
00:48:15,250 --> 00:48:18,630
So please come visit me on my
website because I have a lot

655
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,620
to offer and I am here for you.

656
00:48:22,210 --> 00:48:22,390
Courtney Pearl [48:43.598]

657
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,359
I would love to have you private message
me any of these questions on these

658
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:32,050
platforms, any of your questions on these
platforms about Magick, healing, energy,

659
00:48:32,949 --> 00:48:37,250
and it might be featured on a future
episode as a question from a listener.

660
00:48:37,310 --> 00:48:39,290
So please write in your questions.

661
00:48:40,250 --> 00:48:41,430
I would love to hear from you.

662
00:48:43,020 --> 00:48:48,530
All right, I am so
excited to hear from you.

663
00:48:48,569 --> 00:48:51,960
I'm so excited to talk to you
and I'm so excited to spend this.

664
00:48:52,350 --> 00:48:53,100
time with you.

665
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,550
So go do Magick, witches and wizards.

666
00:48:56,270 --> 00:48:57,129
We'll see you next time.
