I participated in a meditation a few months ago at a seminar where we essentially cleared the karmic fears and programs inherited and passed down through our maternal bloodlines at birth. The moment we completed this exercise I felt my mother (located in another town) take a quick startled breath of fear.

This experience was quite emotional and profound. I wondered if and how it would affect my life. Well, as it turned out it wouldn’t be long before I would find out.

A couple of evenings later I was speaking with my mother and did indeed discover she had been thinking of me at the time we performed the clearing. During our conversation she told me that one of my cousins called to tell her that my uncle had passed over. My cousin also enquired about me and how I was doing.

Before I go any further I’ll give you a brief family history. My mother is the eldest of three sisters and they have been estranged from each other for more than fifteen years. As a result, none of us cousins who grew up together have seen each other during this time either.

Well, my cousin mentioned to my mom that she was on one of the popular networking websites and so the following day I decided to search for my cousin. Sure enough, I found her and sent her a friend request. I also noticed that she had been in touch with a couple of my other cousins and their mother via the internet but for some reason I didn’t contact them at the same time.

The following Saturday morning I was online and delighted to discover my cousin had accepted my request. Rather excited I showed her photos to my partner in life, Paul. He wondered why I hadn’t contacted my other cousins and I shrugged my shoulders in response. He urged me to send them a friend request also and so I did.

Moments later my computer beeped at me and low and behold, there was my eldest cousin sending me a note via the chat screen. I couldn’t believe it! What timing!

We engaged in a very excited online exchange?I was squealing with delight for about two hours while we got updated on our lives and reminisced. I couldn’t sit still; I kept jumping up and down telling Paul everything that was going on?he had never seen me like this before.

I told her I still had the beautiful Christmas tree ornaments she made for me more than twenty years ago and put them on my tree lovingly every year thinking of her. Actually, I think every year I show them to Paul and tell him my cousin made them. He smiles sweetly and never lets on that I’ve told him before?maybe he doesn’t remember but either way it warms my heart.

She told me she still has the hat, booties, and sweaters my mom knitted for her children when they were born?the very same ones she took them home from the hospital in more than twenty years ago. She also remembered my mom sewing clothes for her Barbie dolls when she was a little girl.

Yes, it was a very emotional and soul lifting chat.

My cousin and I discovered so many misunderstandings between our mothers and we committed to organizing a family reunion.

She was absolutely positive that her mother would be thrilled. I, on the other hand, wasn’t quite so sure. I really didn’t know how far or deep the misunderstandings went but I agreed anyway.

I was deliriously happy. I couldn’t explain it – just happy deep within.

Immediately afterward I called my mother and told her what had happened. Mom cried. She suggested us cousins get together for lunch or something. I saw my opening and tentatively told her of the idea for a family reunion.

She held her breath. She cried some more. You see, my mom is going to be eighty this year and she told me she never thought she’d live this long and she never thought she’d see her sisters again.

Well, we both cried and I told her I would make sure it was going to happen. She would see her sisters’ again?this would be my gift to her to show her my deep love?not just on the physical level but on the soul as well. Through her tears she said, “At the end of the day, we all have the same blood running through our veins and we’re family.”

Until that day I wasn’t aware that this part of me was missing from my life and neither did my cousins.

Since those initial conversations I have gone for lunch with two of my cousins and one aunt to catch up and plan our reunion. We’ve decided that we’re going to add a surprise element to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday?this was my aunt’s idea and she asked me to help her get something really special for mom, something that says “sisters”. (Don’t worry my mom doesn’t have a computer so she won’t be reading this.)

Beautiful doesn’t describe the healing that is taking place on my mother’s side of the family and all since the day of the maternal fear bloodline clearing.

You see, when we take steps to heal ourselves we create the space for healing in others. This couldn’t be a better example.

We have all shed tears of joy while releasing sadness for the lost years and misunderstandings and I wouldn’t change a moment of it.

Why? Because now I can see my newly reunited family through wiser and more loving eyes. Our hearts have been wounded in similar ways and I can see myself through them. I am letting my heart reach out to them to show them that I love them as they are, and in so doing, we are each reclaiming pieces of our hearts and souls that were lost.

These are of the happiest days of my life, for many reasons I think. In a large part because now there is more room for love to flow in my life and my family. Conversations are taking place that are needed. We are reminiscing and laughing?about the old and the new.

This experience is expanding my heart, adding depth to my love for all of humanity and encouraging me to savor each moment.

I am more complete as a person in this world. It gives me added strength to know and feel the love of not only my living family but also that of my blood ancestors. They stand behind and beside me, as I do them.

Add in our angels, guides and God’s love and anything is possible.

May you heal your wounded heart and reclaim the lost parts of your soul and together may we awaken the heart of humanity, replacing fear and anger with love, joy and peace.
