Honoring Our Ancestral Lineage

by | November 2020 | Personal Growth, Relationships, Spirituality

A warm hello,

“Know we are here at this time of existence to continue and fulfill the intentions of our ancestors in our genetic line. We are representing them and following on in bringing healing and greater awareness to this collective experience for humanity”.

I wrote the above words in my November 2019 newsletter and since then we have certainly been tested with the ongoing challenge of the pandemic Covid-19. However, our forebears were also tested in many ways and many of us have the memories of resilience in our genes inherited from them! It is up to us whether we act on this wise knowing!

Every now and then I “dip” into finding out more about people on my family tree – and at these times I have a strange (and lovely) recognition factor that overwhelms me.

We are all unique souls who are occupying a body. However we also have inherited DNA/Genes from our human forebears and they can be great factors in our lives!

Communicating with both my maternal great grandmother and maternal grandmother (both in spirit) a few years ago, they both thanked me for having the courage to be independent from “old” expectations for the female lineage within the family line and liberating them by my actions – for speaking my truth (and also theirs) and willing to be a creative authentic warrior acting on my inquisitiveness – and not conforming to old patterns.

This has created healing for them all!!

My maiden name is McKenzie and I was in the Highlands of Scotland a few years ago visiting the area around Balintor/Fearn (a fishing village on the Cromarty Firth) where my great grandfather Hugh McKenzie was born and lived before he immigrated with his family to Australia in the 1850’s seeking a better life.

Just “by chance” the McKenzie/MacKenzie Highland Games were being held nearby at Castle Leod, home of the chieftain of our clan, the Earl of Cromartie (John MacKenzie) – who I was honoured to meet when I attended this truly special day for me – with the fabulous bagpipes and tartan kilts (McKenzie tartan of course).

Acknowledging our lineage with gratitude hopefully gives us a determination to make the most of our life, knowing we have chosen our parents so we are gifted with the DNA/Genes we need – to fulfill our mission in life. Do you recognise this?

Stay optimistic, inquisitive – and always claim your special personal sovereignty.

With love,

Merriene
