Do you ever wonder why you feel scared to share your spiritual and psychic gifts with the people in your life?
Do you often struggle with speaking your truth?
Do you find yourself playing small, and avoiding BIG opportunities because you’re afraid of what might happen if you receive attention?
You are not alone.
I used to wrestle with these same fears (and some days I still do.)
I had a fear of singing in public. I was afraid to tell people I was skilled in oracle reading and energy work. I even hesitated to speak up in classes…even when I knew the answer to the teacher’s question.
I feared what would happen if someone didn’t like the way I expressed myself, and I noticed people around me felt the same way.
Back in 2016, I stepped into the coaching world, and started helping womxn connect with their feminine energy so they could access their intuition with more ease.
After many client sessions, I noticed they kept coming up against the same blockages.
Fear of taking action.
Fear of being open to the unknown.
Fear of speaking their truth.
And it got me thinking, what was impacting so many of us in the same way? I began researching, and what I discovered was the Witch Wound.
Now, most of my client’s didn’t identify as witches at the time. Most of them felt called to the healing arts, or were starting businesses that deeply aligned with their soul’s calling, but many seemed to be experiencing the same patterns of fear and self-limiting behaviors.
I started exploring the Witch Wound, and how it impacted my clients and their ability to show up in the world.
And this is what I found…
The Witch Wound is an embodied trauma state, caused by fears and beliefs that have been passed down through generations, which prevent people from speaking their truth and sharing their unique medicine.
These fears and beliefs are directly connected to the ancestral experiences and collective memories of the Witch Hunts. These weren’t small, isolated events. The trauma was experienced by folks all over the world. Witch Hunts didn’t’ just happen in Europe, the United States, but also in the Middle East, across Asia and down into the Indian Subcontinent.
And we are still be affected by them today.
You might be thinking, “Wait what?!”
Healers and business owners TODAY are being affected by the trauma experienced by their great, great, great, great Grandmothers?
How is that possible?
Well it turns out that it’s not only possible, but it’s also real…and it’s happening to all of us. In some way shape or form, all of us have a connection to the Witch Wound.
We have all been conditioned by society to fear being persecuted as a witch.
We have been conditioned to hide our gifts, in order to fit with the status quo.
And all this playing small, is preventing us from creating change.
So you see, healing your own Witch Wound doesn’t just benefit you. It benefits everyone in your community, and anyone who needs to hear your unique message.
Healing the Witch Wound is an important step in the movement towards collective liberation, because it frees your voice, and gives you the confidence to reclaim your sovereignty.
If you want to feel more expressed, more confident, and less fear…
…it’s time that you started healing your Witch Wound.
So how do you heal from an energetic wound that has been passed down for generations?
Well, like all healing, it’s a process.
It starts by admitting that you have been hiding pieces of yourself in order to feel safe or to fit in. (And it’s just as important to remember that being well adjusted to a toxic ass system is not a good thing)
You have to look at how your life – and the lives of others – could be radically shifted if you were willing to speak up.
With that said, I invite you to think of a time when you had something to say…something that you knew was valuable…but you kept your mouth shut because you were too afraid to voice your opinion.
How could things have been different if you had pushed through that fear?
This is the question you need to ask when you find yourself shrinking away from a situation that you know you can contribute to.
This is the question you must ask when you are feeling scared to talk about your unique gifts.
It is only the first step, but it will be a huge shift towards healing this wound.
