This video is part of an ongoing series of recorded lessons from my monthly meetup group.
The discussion of family dynamics is an area where having an interdisciplinary background like mine is really helpful. My acupuncture specialties of anxiety and trauma response has given me a lot of background and context for working on overcoming limiting family structures.
Each individual lives in a complex ecosystem of overlapping power structures. We have the society that we live in, which is a kaleidoscope of power dynamics made up of the country we are in, religious affiliations, ethnic and cultural expectations and obligations, and many other powerful structural forces. This doesn’t even get into power discrepancies of gender, race, sexual orientation, etc.
The family structure is an intimate union of the personal and the societal, where an individual’s ability to thrive can be enhanced, muffled, obliterated, or in most cases a particular balance of all of the above. Astrology is helpful in giving context to forces that are greater than oneself, as well as their emotional and spiritual implications. It can be helpful to look at family dynamics through a lens like astrology to see family karma as it plays out across generations and ultimately be able to overcome it. Or at the very least be able to respond to these forces and their influences in a conscious way.
Because of my work as an acupuncturist and a craniosacral therapist, I tend to work with people that have dysfunctional family dynamics. A lot of the work that I do is aimed at helping people release the trauma that is stored in their bodies in order to integrate those experiences and continue on a journey towards wholeness. Astrology of the family dynamics can be helpful as it can give context to suffering and painful past experiences.
I truly believe that embarking on the journey of interrupting family patterns of trauma is an act of great bravery and deep self-love. Prioritizing your needs and putting up boundaries with those that you love is difficult and can irrevocably alter the very ecosystem you are working to heal. Someone needs to be the one to break these cycles and those drawn to this type of work are usually those that have the awareness to see that change needs to happen and the inner bandwidth and resolve to take that first step.
If you would like to work on transforming your own family trauma, a great place to start is watching the above video. You can also book a reading with me where we can go over the specifics in your chart and the charts of those in your family.
Times available for readings are in EST. If you live in a time zone with a significant time difference, please email me to set something up: meghan@healingmeadowswellness.com
