We are doing our official completion ceremony for the 90 day Medicine Wheel Journey on Monday April 9. I will burn some sage in the tipi, and Blew Thunder and I will sing some songs, and greet the Ancestors with gratitude for the completion of our 7th year of healing the constitutional pattern.
I remember an amazing observation by an indigenous elder, who spoke of the significance of 7 generations. He said that we have the responsibility of protecting the next 7 generations, because they will carry the impact of our choices with them. According to this elder, each generation can heal for the past 7 generations, and nearly all of our challenges in life were set in place up to 7 generations back in our heritage. He talked about healing for our Ancestors, and that most of the healing we will do in our lives is not for our own issues, but for those of our Ancestors.
I was amazed, many years later, to discover that science was finding that it takes exactly 7 generations to clear genetically modified elements from the DNA of plants. No matter what is done to them, as long as they are able to produce viable seed, plants will revert back to their original genetic purity by the 7th generation. The power and persistence of life is so wondrous.
My heart is filled with the deepest gratitude for those of you who have also been on an intentional 7 year journey with the self, willing to uncover, discover, and recover; the past, the gifts, the patterns. I honor myself, and each of you, for the choice to live a life of healing and ascension. And I look forward to the growth and fulfillment that is still to come...
In Love and Gratitude, Kathryn
