Have you ever experienced the following situation? You are making progress by finally overcoming some destructive mental, emotional or behavioral pattern. Time goes by and all seems well. Then suddenly, for some unknown reason, there it is again! You get drawn right back into the same old dysfunctional pattern. We have inherited, on a genetic level, the accumulation of specific mental and emotional patterns from our matriarchal and patriarchal lineages.

Imagine the case of a woman who is constantly suffering, even if there is seemingly nothing to suffer about. Upon exploring her family background we discover that her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother had the same tendencies. They suffered so much that suffering became the very fabric of their being. This woman inherited three generations of a victim pattern. The woman may successfully resolve her portion of this disorder. However, the unknown factor (the part inherited from her matriarchal lineage), if not released, will continue to restrict her. One of the most important pending tasks today is to release the genetic patterns that we have inherited from members of our matriarchal (women) and patriarchal (men) lineages.

According to quantum physics this information is recorded or programmed energetically into our genes and DNA. Therefore, it is possible to discharge it on an energetic level. Practitioners of energetic healing methods would benefit greatly by incorporating this factor into their therapies. How? By consciously adding the intention to access this level of the individual's being. The release of these genetic programs will enable us to live the life we were meant to live. Even more importantly, it will prevent us from passing this heavy and limiting genetic burden on to our sons and daughters.
