Returning Home to One's Self: Understanding & Healing from Past Lives, Curses, and Karma
"Karma is not fate. Karma is an opportunity to change our actions, thoughts, and words for a better future."
Paramahansa Yogananda
In the journey of life, many of us encounter recurring patterns, challenging relationships, and unresolved emotional struggles that seem to follow us despite our best efforts to move forward. These experiences may be rooted in karmic cycles and past life experiences that influence our present reality. Understanding and healing these karmic ties is a powerful step toward personal growth, spiritual evolution, inner peace and of course- the ability to manifest your dreams and desires.
Whether it’s the sting of a painful childhood memory, the toxicity of a past relationship, or the blow of a major setback, the lingering scars from the past can cast shadows on our present, making it difficult to embrace life to the fullest.
Life is a journey full of moments of joy and sorrow, success and struggle, and the unexpected twists that define our existence. Along this intricate path, sometimes we find ourselves tangled in frustrating patterns and cycles that seem unbreakable and impossible to overcome. These are the echoes of our past that ripple through time and shape our future. They are the manifestations of our actions and reactions, a cosmic dance of cause and effect.
In this post we'll delve into the complexities of past life trauma and karmic cycles and how we can transcend them to ascend to a higher level of consciousness, paving the path towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
"The only way Out is Through."
Understanding Energy Cycles
How do you know if you're stuck in cycle of negative energy from the past?
It can manifest in various forms such as:
persistent misfortune
frequent illness
frequent accidents
unusual bad luck
nightmares or other sleep disturbances
familiar but frustrating patterns
recurring encounters with specific individuals
confronting our deep fears
low energetic frequency
poor or slow manifestation power
These are usually a result of past life energies in the form of
curses
contracts
commitments
agreements
vows
oats
bindings
alliances
allegiances
hexes
traumas
The thoughts we think, the words we speak, and the deeds we perform are not meaningless and random; they actually create a series of steps along our path. These imprints, known as karma, carry their outcomes from one life to the next, etching our destiny into the collective memory of our soul.
But why do karmic or planetary cycles exist? Because they are fundamental to our evolution. They present us with the valuable opportunities to understand our existance, grasp life's profound lessons, fostering our growth and guiding us toward a higher plane of consciousness.
These cycles are not something that we can ever speed up or skip over. We must simply endure them, and ask our spirit guides for protection to get through as safely and joyously as possible. We must surrender and let them pass on their own.
"The obstacle is the path."
Zen Proverb
Understanding The Self
"Coming home to yourself" is all about going back to the past in order to move forward. This work can be a transformational game changer that will clear a path for new beginnings, growth and expansion.
There is so much to learn and so much to gain by diving deep into our psychology, our history and heritage: connecting with family, ancestors, the mother, childhood, and anything from our roots in order to gain wisdom and understanding about one’s self, one’s life and generational patterns,
It allows us to get in touch with and better understand ourselves on the deepest levels by breaking down the roots of both our light, and our shadows:
our needs
our fears
our feelings
our traumas
our triggers
our choices
our attachments
our mechanisms
our defenses
our dreams and desires
By confronting our hidden, unconsicous programming and conditioning and releasing what holds us captive, we become empowered and free to live more authentically.
Here is where we find empathy and soften our hearts in realization that we are all flawed and complicated victims of the human condition.
From this expanded awareness, we can begin to forigive and heal it all, make better choices and ultimately wire new patterns within ourselves and the planet. This is a radical uplifting of the personal and collective mind. We cant uplevel to a higher consciousness and clarity if we are carrying around baggage from the past, denying our unresolved traumas and unhealed wounds. That is why we must heal these things so that we can start writing new scripts.
You dont have the power to control what others do or say but you do have so much power over yourself by turning inward to the home within Source/God/The Divine/The Light, and making that the foundation of your whole being as you navigate this life. It's about
We are moving from a path of ego, fear and separation to one of community, love and wisdom. Are you ready?

“Past life trauma” typically refers to emotional or psychological wounds that originate from experiences in previous stages of one’s life, or in previous lifetimes. If not addressed, these experiences can have long-lasting effects on an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, impacting their beliefs about themselves, others, and the world and influencing behaviors, relationships, and coping mechanisms well into adulthood.
Examples of Past Life Trauma
Childhood Abuse
Neglect or Abandonment
Bullying or Harassment
Loss of a Loved One
Divorce or Family Conflict
Serious Illness or Injury
Accidents or Natural Disasters
Cultural or Religious Trauma
Trauma resides in the body, specifically in the emotional/autonomic nervous system, which governs the fight, flight, or freeze response. These responses are survival mechanism activated during extreme stress, leading to emotional numbness and dissociation.
Overwhelming experiences can lead to emotional dysregulation, where the nervous system becomes stuck in a heightened state of activation, unable to return to a normal baseline. A consistently dysregulated nervous system manifests as anxiety disorders, depression, chronic pain, digestive issues, and other emotional or physical conditions.
These symptoms persist because they are rooted in unresolved embodied emotions rather than cognitive or mental processes.
"Trauma lives in the body, in the nervous system. More specifically, it lives in the emotional/autonomic nervous system, the more primitive neural network that we inherited from our ancient ancestors. Trauma and overwhelm inevitably keep accumulating until a person takes appropriate steps to resolve them."
Sergio Ocampo
Past Life Vows or Oaths
Past life cycles refer to the concept that our souls have lived multiple lives, each one leaving "programming" that carries over into our current existence. These energy pathways often manifest as unresolved lessons, emotions, or behaviors that repeat across different lifetimes until they are fully understood and integrated.
Vows are heartfelt promises or soul-commitments made at some point in a past life. Unbeknownst to us, these become deeply entwined in our core energy and may remain in effect through multiple lifetimes if not resolved.
We can be so many different things in our past life. Perhaps you were a monk, or a nun, or a healer. Perhaps you were a slave, a dictator, or a warrior. All of these carry their own karmic energy which influences your future incarnations and may manifest as related challenges or entanglements.
There are various types of past life vows that can influence one's current life:
1. Religious or Spiritual Vows
Monastic vows: Promises of celibacy, chastity, poverty, and obedience or conformity
Vows of silence: A commitment to refrain from speaking as a spiritual practice.
Vows of devotion: Complete dedication to a deity, spiritual path, or cause.
Ascetic vows: Committing to a life of simplicity, self-denial, and discipline.
Vows of poverty or scarcity: Renouncing material possessions, abundance and wealth for spiritual purity or discipline
2. Relationship Vows
Marriage vows: Promises of love, loyalty, and companionship
Vows of loyalty: Swearing lifelong allegiance or fidelity to a partner, friend, or community.
Vows of protection: Promises to safeguard or defend someone, even in future lives.
3. Vows of Sacrifice or Service
Self-denial: Renouncing personal happiness or desires for the sake of others or a cause.
Martyrdom vows: Promising to suffer or die for a belief or cause.
Vows of service: Pledging to serve others or a higher purpose, often in a sacrificial or humble role
Healer’s oath: Swearing to heal others physically, emotionally, or spiritually
Vows of compassion: Committing to alleviate suffering and care for others.
Vows to repay a karmic debt: Pledging to right past wrongs or to balance previous actions.
4. Power Vows
Vows of dominance: Pledging control, authority, or power over others,
Vows of revenge: Swearing to seek retribution or justice
Vows of protection: Committing to protect a kingdom, community, or people
Oaths of secrecy: Promises to keep sacred or dangerous knowledge hidden
Vows of wealth: Promising to accumulate wealth or resources for a specific cause or group.
5. Vows of Self-Improvement or Mastery
Perfection vows: Committing to achieving a certain level of skill, wisdom, or mastery, which might lead to karmic lessons related to success or failure.
Vows of wisdom: Promising to dedicate one’s life to the pursuit of knowledge or enlightenment.
Vows to break a cycle: Swearing to end destructive patterns or relationships, thus healing karmic wounds
These vows could impact one’s current life in many ways- influencing one's personality, values, and recurring life themes. Almost all of them involve a transfer of power from one person or energy entity to another, and thus continue to operate in the background of our lives, generations later.
Vows usually manifest as anything that constantly or consistently holds us back
indecision
discomfort
difficulty
overwhelm
self-sabotage
suffering
striving
Energies tied to past lifetimes don’t simply disappear; they continue to affect us until they are cleared and healed. That's why it's important to identify and release these disempowering commitments, allowing you to regain your personal power and move forward in your life.
"What we call the present is given shape by an accumulation of the past."
Haruki Murakami
Karmic Relationships
Karmic relationships are connections we form with others based on unfinished business from past lives. These relationships can be intense and difficult, and are often characterized by a deep sense of familiarity. The purpose of these relationships is to teach us important life lessons and to help us balance karma—an accumulation of the actions, intentions, and decisions we’ve made across lifetimes.
Our lives are full of karmic relationships. These people, often disguised as "toxic, abusive or narcissistic" friends, family, lovers, bosses, coworkers or neighbors, show up in our lives for one reason: to help us heal and grow.
It's easy to think that if something or someone is consistently causing us anger, disappointment, frustration, confusion, pain and suffering that we need to cut ties and move on. However this is a somewhat limited, 3D way of thinking.
When we are living in a condition or "unawakened" state we may believe that people are out to get us, or trying to hurt us rather than help us. We may wrongly label other's behavior as narcissistic or toxic, just because we don't like them. We may falsely assume every unpleasant experience is a result of our trauma or triggers. Every disagreement, conflict, or feeling of is not being gaslight or abused.We may bottle our emotions in and hide behind the superficial advice of online experts and "pop psychologists."
For those who have stepped onto a spiritual path of growth, however, you will see that all relationships actually serve a purpose: to teach us, to further our journey, to change us for the better. They're meant to be a force for good in our lives by pushing us towards a more loving vibration, towards a higher consciousness.
We shouldn't resist these people in our lives. We shouldn't judge them, label them, run from them assuming their worst - not ours. When we meet these people in our lives, we must search inside of ourselves to find the reason why we attract them and heal that part of us. We must do whatever we can to stop the suffering and release the toxic pattern.
Karmic relationships might cause us to work harder at first, but once the work is done, the lesson is learned and we feel more equipped, ready or at peace, the universe responds. The relationship either becomes suddenly lighter, or more positive. It could also slow dissolve, or completely fizzle out as if it were never there in the first place.
“Karma, when properly understood, is just the mechanics through which consciousness manifests.”
Deepak Chopra
The "Witch Wound" Within
'Witch' is a term with many meanings. The etymological roots of the word witch are mixed and mysterious. But many believe it can be traced back to the Indo-European word "weid" – which means both “to see” and “to know.”
As you may notice, this is also a derivative of "weird". Over time the word 'witch" has evolved. Its been an accusation, a slur, a fear, a story, a fairytale, and a children's costume.
But in the beginning, a witch was someone who was recognized as a lightworker or healer, someone who could see possibility everywhere, even in the ordinary.
To be a witch doesn’t mean that you manipulate reality to your liking. It means that your perception of reality goes farther than normal, and that you can perceive the presence of freedom, peace, prosperity in all things.
The Witch Wound refers to an ancestral fear from a deep, collective trauma experienced primarily by women and those in touch with their intuitive or healing gifts, stemming from the historical persecution of witches and healers during witch hunts. This wound is rooted in fear, shame, and the suppression of feminine power, often manifesting as a fear of being visible, speaking one's truth, or embracing spiritual practices.
The Witch Wound can create blocks around
self-expression
leadership
intuition
spirituality
sexuality
Many of us have a collective fear around what it means to be outspoken, to be visible and to show up in our lives. We have an unconscious fear of being judged, ridiculed, rejected, or punished for our authentic gifts or wisdom.
We tell ourselves, "If I use my voice, if I do what I want, if I'm honest about who I am, somebody will persecute me for it."
It is heartbreaking to logically, and spiritually know that we live in a free and abundant world but we still always carry a fear within us that something bad is going to happen. So we're always making ourselves smaller, always hiding in the background, not fully reaching our full potential.
Healing the Witch Wound involves reclaiming one’s inner power, embracing intuitive gifts, and releasing the fear of rejection.
Stop seeking elder approval. You can't break generational curses if you are still seeking approval from the generation that's cursed.
The Laws of Karma
Karma operates under the principle of cause and effect—what you put out into the universe through your actions and intentions will come back to you.
Karmic cycles represent patterns or lessons we are meant to learn through repeated experiences, often tied to unresolved emotions or unhealed trauma. To exit these cycles, individuals must fully integrate the lessons presented. This involves recognizing harmful behaviors or tendencies, healing emotional wounds, and choosing new actions aligned with higher consciousness .
Many spiritual teachings emphasize that the only way to overcome negative karma is by taking responsibility for past actions and generating positive karma through compassionate and self-aware behavior .
The unresolved aspects of ourselves—our shadow—will continue to influence our behavior unless we bring light to it - confront and healing those parts of ourself. When we engage with karmic situations openly consciously, we create the potential for true transformation.
Instead of reacting from old wounds, we must consciously change our response and take steps that reflect our matured growth and understanding. Healing is demonstrated through new actions and behaviors that break the karmic loop.
"Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment."
Eckhart Tolle
Breaking Free
Healing is a game-changer, not just for your emotional well-being but also for manifesting your dreams and desires. Any past trauma you may be holding onto will hinder your manifestations going forward, so it is very important you tune in on yourself first.
Trauma is stored in the body, and you can't install a new program (belief) if your body is already full of old programming. The Law of Attraction and Assumptions (ie "feeling is the secret") doesn't work when your nervous system is perpetually dysregulated.
Why Healing Childhood Trauma Matters
Emotional Liberation: Healing allows you to release pent-up emotions and break free from the emotional patterns rooted in the past. This emotional liberation is vital for cultivating a positive and high-vibrational energy.
Shifting Limiting Beliefs: Trauma often shapes limiting beliefs about oneself oftentimes creating a negative feedback loop as we get older. By healing, you can identify and reframe these beliefs, opening the door to a mindset that aligns with your desired manifestations.
Enhanced Self-Love: Self-love is a cornerstone of any type of manifesting law. Healing trauma nurtures a deeper sense of self-love, fostering a positive relationship with oneself and attracting more love and appreciation into your life. Having a deep-rooted sense of self-love enables you to become a magnet for love and makes you far more attractive.
Improved Self-Image: Trauma can impact self-esteem and self-image. Through healing, you can reconstruct a positive self-image, empowering you to believe in your worthiness and attract experiences that reflect that belief. Again, this is especially useful for manifesting a specific person because your SP will have no choice but to see you as someone of value.
Clarity of Desires: Trauma can cloud desires with fear and uncertainty. As you heal, you gain clarity on your true desires, allowing you to set more precise intentions and clear and vivid visualizations so you can manifest with greater focus and success.
Vibrational Alignment: Healing raises your vibration, aligning you with your true self and higher frequencies conducive to successful manifestation. Addressing trauma helps reshape negative thought patterns, amplifies your emotional resonance, and expands perceived possibilities - all allowing you to maintain a positive mindset and powerful intentions that are essential for creating energetic magnetism.
"I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening—a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation."
Peter A. Levine
Balancing & Healing Your Energy
We cannot bypass karmic laws; instead, we must work within them, showing that you’ve learned the lesson embedded in the karmic challenge through your actions.
In order to liberate ourselves from the grip of karmic cycles, we must embark on an inner journey. And this path to breaking free from our negative patterns, thoughts and behaviors isn't easy. It means consciously committing to deep introspection
self-reflection
self-awareness
self-compassion
self-love
self-preservation
It demands we look at our unresolved emotions up close, and confront our past actions head-on.
As we break free from the constraints of karmic cycles, we find ourselves on the cusp of personal transformation. This journey heralds greater peace, wisdom, and happiness as we balance our karma. Eventually our energy will vibrate at a higher frequency, attracting experiences and individuals in harmony with our newfound state of being.
With the right strategies and mindset shifts, it’s possible to overcome past life trauma and pave the way for a brighter, more fulfilling future.
You have a choice: to stay in your victimhood, to keep blaming, projecting, and ignoring the unconscious programming making you sick. Or you can choose differently: awakening to your conditioning, forgiving, learning and growing towards true authenticity and alignment.
Recognizing Karmic Patterns
The first step in healing from karmic cycles is to recognize the patterns in your life that seem to repeat without resolution. These could include:
Recurrent Relationship Issues: Finding yourself in similar, often challenging relationships with different people.
Emotional Triggers: Experiencing strong emotional reactions to certain situations that feel disproportionate to the current context.
Unresolved Conflicts: Struggling with ongoing issues or problems that seem to have no clear origin or solution.
Recognize the areas in your life where you feel stuck, stagnant or dissatisfied. These patterns can provide insights into the karmic lessons your soul is trying to learn. Simply acknowledging the existence of your past trauma and validating the emotions associated with it can be liberating. It’s okay to feel angry, sad, or scared about what happened to you. Allowing yourself to fully experience and process these emotions is an essential part of the healing process.
When contemplating whether you have past life vows to release, its imperative that you get quiet and still through quiet contemplation, dreams, or intuitive insights. Don't be afraid to go inward.
"I Revoke, Recant, Rescind, Reclaim, Renounce, Denounce, and Destroy all spells that keep me from my own magic. All known and unknown agreements that are no longer useful or serving me are now null and void."
Let Go. Avoid going into our ego space, thinking we will heal, control, change, or transform this situation on our own. We should always strive to surrender our attachment to outcome to the divine instead. Afterall no one can actually understand the karmic web until the karma is completely resolved. We can never know what will happen with complete accuracy, and we don’t know what is for our highest good. Sometimes people and situations are not what they seem- they're all part of a larger plan, a web, a puzzle.
We might think we won’t survive a negative or challenging chapter but we always do, and these circumstances in our lives will put us directly on the path of our dreams, purpose, and self-love.
For that to happen, we need to fully give in and accept the karmic curse, relationship or cycle, and acknowledge that it could be our own doing from another lifetime.
Of course it is easier to shift the blame, whine, complain or wallow in self-pity, but that doesn’t change anything. The moment we take responsibility of our own actions (in the present and the past), we automatically step into a higher vibration: the frequency of Awareness.
Practice Self-Compassion:
Be kind to yourself throughout this process. Remember that healing takes time, and it’s okay to take things one step at a time. Treat yourself with the same level of patience and compassion and understanding that you would offer to a dear friend going through a difficult time.
The cracks are where the light gets in - they are the doorways to our soul's liberation, freedom and healing.
Let go of the need for Approval.
The advice to "respect your elders" can hold us back. Sometimes breaking generational curses requires stepping out of your generational cycle completely. You can’t heal the wounds of the past while clinging to the same patterns that caused them. It’s uncomfortable, it’s lonely, but it’s necessary.
Be the one who chooses growth over approval. Be a disruptor. Stop playing by their rules. Stop valueing their opinions. Stop seeking approval from the ones who created the cycle. Unlearn, rebuild, and create a new path and a new way they've never seen before. The best way you can honor your ancestors and relatives is to break free from what they couldn’t.
Ask for Reparations: In spiritual and metaphysical traditions, the idea of reparations involves acknowledging past harm, whether personal or ancestral, and making amends through acts of service, compassion, and restitution. Reparations can be a part of healing past life wounds by addressing karmic imbalances and unresolved emotional, psychological, or energetic debts from previous lifetimes. This process can release negative karmic cycles, restore harmony, and promote deeper healing at a soul level, allowing individuals to move forward free from the burdens of past-life trauma or mistakes. By consciously engaging in reparative actions, one can clear old wounds and foster spiritual growth and renewal.
Take New Actions: Assess your habitual behaviors and be open to changing them if they no longer serve your well-being. Doing good deeds daily can help generate positive karma. Act with mindfulness,kindness, compassion, and integrity to create positive karma and balance out past energies. Present action and intention can also help reclaim your power.
To release a vow of Silence: make the decision to use your voice and speak up.
To release a vow of Chastity: allow and seek pleasure in all areas of your life.
To release a vow of Poverty: actively pursue financial opportunities and practice gratitude for what you have.
To release a vow of Self-Sacrifice: Prioritize self-care and personal well-being, setting healthy boundaries and honoring your needs.
To release a vow of Obedience or Loyalty: Step into your autonomy, making independent decisions and trusting your instincts,
To release a vow of Humility: Embrace your self-worth, celebrating your accomplishments and confidently accepting praise or recognition for your efforts.
To release a vow of Suffering: Allow yourself to experience joy and happiness without guilt or shame by seeking out activities and environments that uplift your spirit.
To release a vow of Isolation: Actively build and nurture relationships, reaching out to others, joining communities, and allowing yourself to connect with others on a deeper level.
“Many souls who are reunited in this lifetime have met before in other lifetimes. They are learning and growing from each other. This learning may include challenges and pain, but it is all for a higher purpose.”
Dr. Brian L. Weiss
Transforming Karmic Relationships
Karmic relationships, while challenging, offer profound opportunities for growth. Transforming these relationships begins with:
Open Communication: Engage in honest and compassionate communication with the other person involved. Often, karmic relationships bring unresolved emotions to the surface; addressing these openly can lead to healing.
Sever Ties: Distance yourself from toxic individuals whose energy brings negativity and stress into your life. This doesn't mean harboring ill will, judgement or resentment, but simply creating farther space and setting healthy boundaries if it is too toxic or no longer serves your growth.
Learning from Mistakes Ask yourself what this relationship is teaching you. Avoid dwelling on the past but take responsibility for your actions and admit your past wrongdoings. And of course, commit to making better decisions in the future.
Practice Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a powerful tool to break free from bad karma. Holding onto negativity only fuels negative cycles, so letting go of anger, bitterness, and frustration is crucial for your spiritual growth.
This goes for ourselves too. We may have thoughts like, “How dumb could I have been? How could I not see that? Why did I ignore the red flags?" We might be confused or in shock for some time by the blunders we did—or that the other person did.
That said, forgive EVERYONE involved. Take the change and the growth that ensued with you, and leave the rest.
Nourish Your Spirit: Engage in activities that promote your health and well-being: nutrition, exercise, sleep, meditation and creative self-expression. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and body scans, can help you stay grounded in the present moment and cultivate a sense of inner peace. Incorporate these practices into your daily routine to reduce stress and anxiety levels and increase overall well-being.
Visualization: Channel images from your past where you witness or experience a serene life of complete freedom, simplicity and inner peace. Visualize yourself cutting cords or breaking chains that link you to negative past energies
Work in the Collective: Karmic cycles are not solely individual experiences. They can also occur in entire communities, cultures, and societies. Widespread cruelty, violence, and oppression can weave intricate karmic threads that shape our shared experiences, relationships, and the world itself.
Recognize and acknowledge the consequences of our shared actions. Work in advocacy, education, and policy changes to co-create a world that transcends the limitations of collective negative karma.
Invocations
An invocation to call in support from your angels, ancestors, and spirit team can be as simple as speaking from the heart with gratitude and intention. You might say:
"I call upon my angels, ancestors, and spirit guides—those who walk with me in love and truth.
Please show me what I need to see
Tell me what I need to hear
Teach me what I need to learn
Surround me with your wisdom, strength, and protection.
Guide my steps, illuminate my path, and help me to see with clarity and act with courage.
Fill this space, anchoring me in divine trust, alignment and purpose"
Cord-cutting Rituals
Consciously declare your intent to sever any unwanted spiritual or karmic connections from the past. Call in your protection from a higher power or divine source to reinforce your release and encourage new, more healed paths to emerge.
A cord-cutting ritual is a spiritual practice used to release energetic attachments or ties to people, past relationships, or situations that no longer serve your growth, promoting emotional and energetic freedom.
To perform a cord-cutting ritual, follow these steps:
Create a Sacred Space: Find a quiet space, light candles or incense, lay out crystals, music, and set your intention for the ritual.
Visualize the Cord: Close your eyes and imagine an energetic cord connecting you to the person, relationship, or situation you want to release.
State Your Intention: Say out loud or in your mind what you are cutting ties from and why, emphasizing your desire for emotional or spiritual freedom.
"I release all that no longer serves me, with love and gratitude."
"I cut the energetic cords, commitments and vows that bind me, and I reclaim my power and peace."
"I forgive and let go, freeing myself from past pain and attachments."
"I honor the lessons from this experience and now release it with compassion."
"I am whole and complete on my own, and I move forward with clarity and strength."
"I send love and healing to all involved, as I step into my highest potential."
"I release fear, anger, and resentment, and invite peace, harmony, and growth."
"I sever this connection with grace, knowing that new opportunities and relationships await me."
"I trust in the process of healing and allow the universe to guide me to greater freedom."
"With this act, I set myself free and open my heart to new experiences and joy."
"I resolve and clear any ties or binds with any people, places belifs, habits, experiences and energies not aligned with my abundance, unconditional love and peace."
4. Cut the Cord: Visualize or use a physical gesture, like moving your hand or using a ritual tool (e.g., scissors or knife), to "cut" the cord.
5. Release and Ground: Picture the cord dissolving, release any lingering emotions, and ground yourself through deep breathing or meditation.
6. Close the Ritual: Express gratitude for the lesson or experience, and visualize yourself cleansed and free of the attachment.
"I release all curses, conditioning, commitments, and contracts that no longer serve my highest good. I hereby rewrite my souls history into one with balanced and harmonious abundance, autonomy, peace and prosperity."
Clearing & Cleansing: After releasing vows or rebuking a curse, do a physical cleansing ritual to clear any residual energies in your auric field, and protect against further harm or negativity.
Rosemary Bath: Soak in a rosemary-infused bath
Smoke Cleansing: Use sage, rosemary, or mugwort to purify your space and body.
Salt Barrier: Create a protective barrier with salt around your home to ward off bad spirits.
Citrus Aura Cleanse: Use a salted lemon to cleanse your aura and remove negative energy.
Lemon on Altar: Place lemons on an altar with a white candle to absorb and dispel negative energy.
Burn Incense: Use bay leaves, cinnamon, and or incense to release bad energies.
Pray: Use prayer, directed to your higher power or the universe
Burning Ritual: Burn a mixture of garlic, chili, sage, salt, and a paper description of the curse to destroy negative energy.
Seek Guidance & Support. You don’t have to go through this journey alone. Reach out to trusted friends and family members who can provide support and guidance as you work through your past trauma. Surrounding yourself with a supportive network of people who genuinely care about your well-being can make a world of difference.
Of course, professional therapy can also provide a safe and nurturing space for exploration, especially if the journey seems too complex and overwhelming to tackle on your own. Trauma specialists, counselors, shamans, healers and guides who can offer valuable tools, techniques, perspective and insights to help you process your trauma and develop healthy coping mechanisms to help your body return to a regulated state of harmony.
Look for experts who specialize in healing modalities such as
Past Life Regression
Hypnotherapy
Akashic Records Readings
Reiki Healing
Transcendental Meditation
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing)
Brainspotting
Somatic Experiencing
It should. be noted that traditional talk therapies which focus on cognitive reframing will likely fall short of addressing the embodied nature of trauma. You'll simply be looping through unresolved emotional experiences without finding lasting relief.
Somatic techniques help clients ground themselves by observing their environment and bodily sensations in a nonjudgmental way that supports deeper emotional processing.
“Change yourself—do not expect the whole world to change for you.”

Wrapping It Up
Unresolved trauma or unaddressed connections affect both your mental and physical health, limiting joy, presence, and life purpose, unlocking human potential for expansion and creativity.
Healing from past life trauma is a deeply personal journey that requires courage, compassion, understanding, and support.
There are two factors of life we must remember:
1) All suffering is temporary.
2) We are all here to learn and grow.
You have the inner strength, resiliency and resources to heal from trauma and create the life you deserve. Instead of dwelling on the pain of the past, focus on the beauty of the present and the possibilities of the future. Believe you are capable of overcoming anything life throws your way.
As we embark on the path of healing and growth, both individually and collectively, we inch closer to a world where peace, wisdom, and happiness prevail.
Each of us is engaged in our own karmic battle, and by identifying and addressing our unresolved karma, we can experience liberation and fulfill our greater life purpose.
There is a profound interconnectedness of every action and experience. Breaking free from karmic cycles is the key to accessing a higher plane of consciousness.
While the power to heal lies within you, this transformation is not one we should undertake fully alone. I am here. How can I support you in your journey?
"To exit a karmic cycle, you must return to the timeline where the damage initially occured and show up with the healed response. You must demonstrate that you've integrated the lessons with rectified behavior. You cannot subvert the Laws of Karma. You can only work with them."
