Trauma Can Live in the DNA Up to 14 Generations

Do you give more than you receive?
 
Do you DO more than you BE  doing, doing doing all the time)?Are you tired of not feeling good and repeating the same painful patterns over and over again?
 
Do you desire deeper, more meaningful relationships but instead find yourself alone, in drama filled relationships, or unable to fully be present in the relationships that are working for you?
 
Do you find yourself stuck in a an area of your life (health, wealth, weight, body image, self image, sexuality, relationships, spirituality)?
 
Do you know deep inside there is something more for you, but you don't know exactly what or how to access it?
 
Are your children struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD or other mental health issues and you desperately want to help them?
 
Are you a perfectionist?
 
When someone leaves your life, do you feel like it's because there is something wrong with you?
 
Do you (or did you) have a challenging relationship with your own mother?
 
Was your mother one of these: attacking, absent (emotionally and/or physically), or overbearing (controlling or a helicopter mom)?
 
Did your mother have some shame, anger, depression, mental health issues, or physical health issues?
 
Are there any of these repeating patterns in your family? Anxiety, depression, mental health, addictions (to drugs, alcohol, sex, drama, food or unhealthy relationships), abuse, cancer, heart disease, narcissism, heartbreak, or painful relationships.
 
These are all signs of ancestral trauma.

Most of us are healing generations of trauma. 

Humanity has survived horrific things such as massacre, rape, oppression, colonialization, brutal enslavement, vicious suppression of women, the murder of whole communities of people, just to name a few. When something happens that is too hard to deal with, it gets shoved down. . . to the next generation.

Many of our mothers carry the weight of this pain.

 

Unhealed Trauma Lives On  

When your great-grandmother was pregnant with your grandmother, the emotion of whatever she was going through got passed on to her unborn daughter, and to the eggs within her. So your great-grandmother's pain was passed on to your mother. 

You can identify ancestral trauma through the repeating patterns that show up in your family - and in your own life. Telltale signs are depression, anxiety, toxic relationships, addictions (alcohol, drugs, drama, sex, food, etc.), abuse, anger, narcissist behavior, control and disease. 

Anger and depression, for example, are two stages of grief. Our society hasn't supported the expression of grief, so it is still living.

I Am Ready to Join You!

I'M BIRD MEJIA

I am offering this retreat as a sacred gift to you because of my own healing journey with my mother.

I had a difficult, painful relationship with my mother. In January, 2019, I sat down on my bed and wrote in my journal, "My mother has not been able to support me the way I have needed her to since I was a child, and she may never be able to. She doesn't love herself."

And then I cried. I bawled like a baby in my bed. Cuz I realized this hurt was the root of my own painful repeating patterns in relationships with both the men and women in my life. 

Exactly a month later, my mother went to the doctor for a stomach ache. She was diagnosed with 4th stage pancreatic cancer. She died 35 days later. 

And I thought our story was over. We hadn't healed our relationship. In fact, my mother said some pretty mean things to me in her last days. It was such a sad ending. 

But it was just the beginning. The beginning of something so beautiful and magical. My mother's spirit began visiting me. 

Finally she SAW me, and she poured into my heart the unconditional motherly love I had yearned for all my life.

She then guided me on a journey to discover the roots of her trauma - and death. I was led to begin studying shamanism, and was shown it was a lost practice in her lineage on her indigenous Mexican side. And I was shown a trauma that happened 7 generations ago. Something so horrific that the unhealed horror of it was passed down right to my mother. 

When I was shown the trauma, I was told, "Now you get to forgive your mother."

And I was told that everyone who comes to me for my healing work also has this kind of trauma in their lineage. 

So you get to heal it, too. And together, step by step, we get to heal our families and the world. 

And then some "bio" info about me: I am trained in Shakti Naam Yoga, Harmonyum Healing, Gendai Reiki Ho, Chakra Energy Healing and Shamanism. I am the author of the poetry collection Wild Woman at My Door, where I tell more about my mother. I have earned two Master’s degrees, and I combine my graduate work in psychotherapy with my life experience, which has honestly been my greatest teacher. 

Some of my loves are being a mother, cats (and dogs, and really all animals), delicious plant-based food, hummingbirds, dancing, cooking, gardening, painting, the haunting call of a loon, and desert summer nights. 

"The only word to describe Bird’s Women’s retreat in Sedona is ‘MAGICAL’.  From the beautiful natural settings, which provide you solace with their magnificent beauty and energy as soon as you arrive, to the wonderful chalets situated close to the hot tubs and pool to soak in at night while stargazing, everything was exceptional. Bird’s exceptional compassion and leadership helped all the beautiful souls connect with each other and be open and vulnerable so that we could all heal together. The wonderfully put together Shakti Naam sessions, shamanic journeys and hikes energized all of us and filled us with positive energy. The highlight of the trip was dancing together on top of the mountain to honor our own beauty, love and light. That is a feeling I will never forget. A close second is the food. Oh my God, the food! Sacred circle and Fire ceremony events helped us sisters understand and hold each other in support. As someone who had not been open to receiving before, Bird’s message to us women to be willing to receive was a beautiful gift." - Smitha
"Choosing to go on the Bird's Retreat was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my mind, body, and soul. I'm so enriched, so light, so joyful. The setting in Sedona, Arizona, was perfect. Bird is a beautiful teacher, and her knowledge of Naam Yoga, shamanic healing, and divination is a gift. Bird’s light, honesty, and love shine through her. The plant-based cooking, was delicious and can be enjoyed by all, whether you’re a vegan or not. The food was plentiful, enriching, and good for the soul. I highly encourage everyone who is considering this retreat to take the leap and do it." - Erica
