My Miasmic Baggage
This was the part of the voyage that I feared the most. If the bulk of what I had sustained over my lifetime was rooted here, then I was in for healing reactions of tsunami proportions. This was where the ancestral baggage was going to be unleashed into the fray of my being. How would all that mental illness filter out of me without claiming my psyche en route?
During my lifetime, I had a certain degree of understanding and empathy for the choices I had made in relation to the traumas I had sustained. In many cases, I was aware of the conscious choices I had made. I knew that I ended up at the hospital emergency room for loss of vision because I could no longer bear “seeing” my present reality. I knew I had great difficulty with my periods because I held so much grief, I could not effectively surrender to my own femininity. I knew that I had not effectively separated from my mother after she died. Grief and anger manifested in the chronic sinus, bladder and bronchial infections I had treated with countless prescriptions of antibiotics.
However, the Miasms were completely uncharted territory and I was going to have to surrender to a process I did not yet comprehend. My fiery will helped me to overcome the fear I did not allow to surface which left my ability to trust and surrender lopsided and clueless. I had no idea how to let go as trauma had only taught me how to effectively hang on and “will” my way through everything like a bull at an English high tea party!
