Healing sisterhood wounds
For so many generations women have been taught to view each other as threats or rivals. The scarcity programming made us believe that there are not enough loyal men to go around, not enough resources, not enough love. This creates a mentality of separation, fear and competition. Even if we are not aware of it on the conscious level, it is still there on the deeper levels of subconscious programming and genetic memory. Only a few hundred years ago women were being hunted as witches and often had to turn against their sisters in order to keep themselves and their children safe. That trauma lives within our beings and in the collective until we consciously bring love and forgiveness there to heal it.
For sure, these wounds have played out in my life. When I was a teacher, if a colleague got a promotion at work I would feel threatened as if she had ‘taken’ one of the limited opportunities and this would mean I couldn’t grow and expand equally too. If I see a sister online doing amazingly and expanding and receiving huge abundance now I still sometimes feel triggered, and have to remind myself to see this as a sign from the universe of what is coming for me too - she is there to inspire me, not to make me feel inadequate! We are all rising as one. How can I love that part of myself which still feels these sisterhood wounds, and reassure my inner child? And then celebrate the sister, lift her up even more and learn from her? It’s a process for sure!
I am SO grateful for the beautiful sisters who have come into my life in the last few years, who hold me in my light and my shadow, who celebrate my successes and call me out on my nonsense, who teach me more about authentic communication, who inspire me to grow. Calling in more of this, for myself and for all women! I love you.
