What if the secrets to healing, transformation, and deep understanding lie within your own lineage? Together with our esteemed guest, Chicanx therapist Cynthia Perez, we unfurl the rich tapestry of our pasts, examining the influence of our ancestors and how they continue to shape our lives. Hear about her transformative journey to Mexico, and our grandmothers' legacies, while Cynthia offers a unique perspective on balancing indigenous wisdom with the platform of privilege. Venturing beyond conventional therapy norms, we delve into the realm of ancestral veneration, curanderismo, and epigenetics. We unpack the power and protection our ancestors provide, and how their experiences shape our resilience and worldview. The stories we share, from her grandmother's astral projection abilities to Cynthia's insights on indigenous healing practices, illuminate the profound spiritual gifts passed down through generations. Finally, we illuminate the significance of womb healing and astral projection, reinforcing how our bodies are vessels for our ancestors. We encourage you to consider the power of your own ancestral lineage and the wisdom it contains. Whether you're at the beginning of your journey into ancestral connection or are seeking further understanding, we hope our experiences and insights inspire reflection and deepen your relationship with your roots. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:01) - Reconnecting to Ancestral Wisdom and Healing (0:11:35) - Exploring Ancestral Connections and Epigenetics (0:22:36) - Ancestral Connections and Personal Transformation (0:35:10) - Exploring Indigenous History and Spiritual Gifts (0:40:43) - Exploring Ancestral Wisdom and Embracing Darkness (0:44:54) - Exploring Lineage and Healing Dark Thoughts (0:48:37) - Meditation, Healing, and Family Discoveries (0:53:21) - Womb Healing and Ancestral Connection Cynthia is a first gen Chicana, storyteller, friend, mother, and therapist.
