Dear One,
This past weekend was a full circle moment in the healing of my maternal line.
I’ve been sharing the details about the extraordinary experience on IG stories, and the level of response has been just as extraordinary.
And the story starts with Mother’s Day, when I held the workshop for Healing the Mother-Child Relationship. After spending two hours fully focused on transmitting the power of healing this relationship and speaking to my own personal experiences with my mom, how incredible it was that as soon as the live call ended, the very first message I saw on my phone was from my mom.
It said that her firstborn daughter Shawna had died the day before.
My mom was just finding out on Mother’s Day that her first born child had suddenly passed away. A missing daughter she only met a few years ago, and still hardly knew.
Seeing her message gave me chills, as I knew this was extraordinary lineup of connected events. The timing was no coincidence. I knew this was an incredible divine set up for soul-level healing to take place: precisely what the focus of the workshop was about.
This past weekend, I drove my mom to Utah to attend the memorial for Shawna to honor the sudden passing of a half-sister I never met and only learned about a few years ago, and to meet the family who raised her since the age of 12. My mom had only visited with her daughter once and never met the rest of her family in the short time they knew each other.
Shawna’s family tracked down my mom a few years ago. My mom gave birth to her at the age of 14, a pregnancy that resulted from r*pe. As soon as she gave birth, the child was taken from her and she never got to hold the baby, and didn’t even know the gender much less know what happened to her baby after that. Shawna was born deaf and with cerebral palsy.
The layers of trauma around this have enveloped my mom her whole life.
A huge healing took place when she and Shawna found each other after 55 years of separation.
Her adoptive family adored her. Through endless joyful stories they shared with me and my mom, it was clear Shawna was a vibrant, hilarious firecracker with an epic laugh and lived life to its fullest.
It was clear that Shawna changed this family’s lives in remarkable ways.
This weekend, after spending time with my half-sister’s family, I came away feeling not only that I knew her, but I felt connected to her for the first time. Her family was shocked to meet me and see the striking resemblance we share.
Something extraordinary happened this weekend: I knew this trip would create a huge healing opportunity for my mom, but what came out of it was bigger than I expected:
The realization that out of the depths of unimaginable trauma, a huge gift was birthed that blessed the lives of this family and so many others with joy and LOVE.
My heart is bigger feeling so much love for Shawna.
I now see her in my heart, smiling and laughing in a way that’s very similar to my own laugh, so I was told.
This is the power of Womb Chakra healing work.
I know the work I’ve done with healing the mother-child relationship and my Womb Chakra paved the way for this greater healing to take place within our maternal line.
The Womb Chakra healing practices we do for ourselves automatically bring healing to our mothers’ Womb Chakras.
I continue to be in awe of the transformational power of this healing work. My mom experienced a full circle moment of being confronted with the most traumatizing event of her life that opened up extraordinary awareness of the great love that came from it all this past weekend.
This is soul-level healing.
It's my prayer that sharing my story brings healing to yours.
In awe, In love,
Angela
