Why does trauma you never personally lived through still show up in your body? In this episode, I answer a listener's question about inheriting war trauma from both her father and grandfather — a "functional freeze" in the root chakra that even ayahuasca couldn't shift.
We explore what it really means to carry generational trauma: why the freeze response is a form of protection rather than a flaw, why psychedelics can retraumatize instead of heal, and how the Black Tantric practice of confronting death can move deeply frozen fear into resilience and power. I also share the practical, sequential steps for releasing root-level trauma — starting with physical safety, moving through your relationship with money, and ending in ancestral honoring practices, including specific timing based on the lunar cycle and Vedic astrology.
This is generational, patient work. It won't resolve in a single ceremony or a single episode — but it can be understood, and it can be walked.
If this episode resonates, I invite you to apply for my private mentorship, the Path of Power, where we go even deeper into building your own value system and safely exploring your relationship to money, power, sexuality, and the concept of God.
