It is easy to believe that in leaving
our childhood homes and embarking on the journey of adulthood, we have
effectively removed ourselves from harmful and self-perpetuating familial
patterns. In looking closely at ourselves, however, we may discover that
our behaviors and beliefs are still those that were impressed upon us
during our youth by our parents, grandparents, and the relatives that
preceded them. We may find ourselves unconsciously perpetuating cycles of
the previous generations, such as fear of having enough, not showing
affection, and secrecy patterns. Yet the transmission of negative
patterns from one generation to the next is not inevitable. It is
possible to become the endpoint. Breaking the pattern is a matter of
overcoming those values imprinted upon us long ago and replacing them
with pure love, tolerance, and conscious awareness.
The will to divest yourself of old,
dark forms of familial energy and carry forth a new loving energy may
come in the form of an epiphany. You may one day simply realize that
certain aspects of your early life have negatively affected your health,
happiness, and ability to evolve as an individual. Or you may find that
in order to transcend long-standing patterns of limiting beliefs,
irrational behavior, and emotional stiltedness, you need to question your
values and earnestly examine how your family has impacted your
personality. When you understand how family cycles have influenced you,
you can gain freedom from those cycles.
In order to truly change, you must give
yourself permission to change. Breaking family patterns is in no way an
act of defiance or betrayal. It is important that you trust yourself
implicitly when determining the behaviors and beliefs that will help you overwrite
the generation-based cyclical value system that limits your individual
potential. Many people are on the Earth at this time to break family
cycles. They are true pioneers. In breaking negative family cycles, you
will discover that your ability to express your feelings and needs grows
exponentially, and you will embark upon a journey toward greater
well-being that can positively impact generations to come.
