What is ‘Witch Wounding?’
WHAT IS ‘WITCH WOUNDING?’
‘Witch Wounding’ is something that often comes up in Akashic Records sessions for clients, either one-on-one with me or while they are exploring their own Akashic Records. ‘Witch Wounding’ can occur on an individual level, an ancestral level and/or a collective level and can dramatically impact an individual’s ability to show up and share their gifts with the world.
‘Witch Wounding’ is the generic terms used to describe when someone has experienced (or holds the energetic memory of the experience) of being persecuted for utilising their intuitive gifts and abilities. The persecution of people throughout the ages (predominantly women) for using these gifts has been well documented and most clearly demonstrated through the various ‘witch’ trials that took place around the world.
These individuals were often gifted midwives, healers, and those who worked with the medicine that plants offered. They often provided guidance formed by their intuition in the form of seers and oracles.
On the spiritual path today, lots of people are resistant (and in some instances terrified) of accessing and sharing these gifts with others, because of this ‘Witch Wound.’
PAST LIFE GIFTS AND ABILITIES
It has to be remembered, that intuitive gifts and abilities are developed over lifetimes. When you are drawn to a specific path or practice, when we look at it from the Akashic Records perspective, there will often be numerous lifetimes in which you have been working with and developing these gifts and abilities. These gifts and abilities can lie dormant within your Light Grid until you start working with them again in the current incarnation.
HOW DOES WITCH WOUNDING AFFECT PEOPLE IN THIS LIFETIME?
‘Witch wounding’ can have a huge impact on people in their day to day lives, especially in respect of sharing their voice and gifts with the world.
It can also affect their relationship to their own internal technology and intuition. This, in turn, can lead to them doubting or shutting down that part of themselves. We live in a time where we absolutely need to be working with and strengthening our internal technology, not disconnecting from it.
This wounding presents as an often-paralysing fear of persecution. It can be accompanied by concerns around jealousy and betrayal. This happens because when the past life memory is activated (which happens naturally through your expansion process), the emotions around the event/circumstances becomes available for transmutation. Those past life memories are often of situations where the individual has been betrayed by those closest to them in that lifetime.
SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE ‘WITCH WOUNDING’
You resonate with the concept of ‘Witch Wounding.’ It feels true for you. This is a memory stored within the body.
You have an immense fear around talking about your gifts and experiences.
You cannot show up to promote yourself and your business on social media because the fear paralyses you into a freeze response.
If you do manage to share your experience/perspective, you are immediately concerned about the judgement of others.
You hold yourself back in respect of your spiritual development because you do not want to become too powerful.
You have difficulty accessing you ‘clair’ senses or intuition, no matter how many practices you try.
You do not trust your intuition, or you ignore it
You have recurrent dreams in which you experience persecution for using your gifts
HOW THE AKASHIC RECORDS CAN HELP IF YOU HAVE ‘WITCH WOUNDING’
For some people, just understanding that ‘Witch Wounding’ is something that they have experienced in their previous incarnations, or that they have taken on that aspect of ancestral wounding to heal, helps them to heal through understanding alone. Rather than telling themselves they are irrational or lazy, they understand that this is deep seated wounding that needs to be addressed, rather than a character flaw. Through that understanding, they are able to be much kinder and gentler to themselves.
For other people, it may be necessary to work with Akashic Records Clearing, either by themselves or with an Akashic Records Practitioner to help them not only understand the wounding but also to move through the energetic stagnation caused by the ‘Witch Wounding.’
RADICAL SELF RESPONSIBILITY
It should be noted here that the Akashic Records (and the practices available to you through working with the Akashic Records) are not a ‘magic wand;’ you cannot undertake Akashic Records Clearing and then expect all of the impact from the ‘Witch Wounding’ to disappear. You will absolutely feel the energetic shift and feel different.
However, there will be certain habits and beliefs, programmes and conditioning that you hold, because of the ‘Witch Wounding’ and you have to work through those also. Working with the Akashic Records is a cooperative endeavour between you and your Akashic Records. This is where you Radical Self Responsibility comes in, a core principle of working with the Akashic Records.
TIPS FOR WORKING THROUGH ‘WITCH WOUNDING’
Regulate your nervous system/balance your Root Chakra. As with all healing work, especially work that involves the Higher Primary Chakras, we want to ensure that the foundation is strong. If you find yourself overwhelmed and stuck in the energy of ‘fear’ (which is the emotion that destabilises the Root Chakra the most) this is where the work must begin.
Once you have stabilised the Root Chakra, it is time to address all of the repressed emotions that have occurred whilst you have been under the influence of the ‘Witch Wounding.’ This can be uncomfortable and may require you to undertake shadow work to unearth what has been repressed.
It is essential for this work to engage the body, as this is where we store repressed emotions. Somatic practices such as restorative yoga, yoga nidra and breathwork can be very helpful at this time. The more we transmute the repressed emotions, the more connected to our internal technology (our intuition) we become.
The next area to look at is your relationship to power. Where are you being disempowered in your life? Where are you hiding yourself, for fear of ‘being seen’? When do you repress your authenticity?
Also, take a look at your relationship to the word ‘power.’ Oftentimes we can be disconnected from our internal power due to a belief that power means ‘power over’ or ‘control of.’ It does not. Our internal power is our drive, our sovereignty and autonomy. It is not about controlling or manipulating others.
Pay attention to the information that you are consuming. If you are constantly consuming information that pushes a fear and division narrative (us versus them) you will find it difficult to move out of fear, trust your intuition and unlock your gifts and abilities that you have developed over the incarnations.
Take a small step out of your comfort zone. If we try to take a huge leap, we may end up dysregulating ourselves again. Post something on social media that you have had burning within you to share, make a YouTube video or tell your work colleague about your spiritual beliefs.
Once you prove to yourself that, whilst you may receive a strange look or some disagreement in respect of what you have shared, you will not actually be persecuted for it the way you were in those previous incarnations. What is more, you will find that what you have shared is actually helpful to some people and can start attracting like-minded people to you.
Spend time reconnecting to your intuition and your ‘clair’ senses. You may have been ignoring them for a long time so be patient with the reconnection process.
Once you feel confident that you have reestablished the connection, tune into the intuition and take aligned action. The more you do this, the stronger the intuition will become.
