Energetic Connections between Parents and Children
When you’re moving through karmic healing work, or ancestral healing, it’s hard not to find yourself in deep exploration of what the connections might be between you and your parents, you and your children, and all the generations of your family lineage.

Past Lives and Karmic Healing Part 2: Transforming the past
Something important to contemplate in understanding “past” lives and what they have to do with us, is that linear time is a human construct and one that doesn’t really exist in the broader cosmos.
