Reclaiming Your Nature & Ancestral Roots0:30 – 2:41

0:30

An essential and often overlooked part of the spiritual journey is to reclaim your nature.

0:36

So what does it mean to reclaim your nature? Well, we were all indigenous to somewhere and we all have roots, traditions, foods, rituals, and traditional medicine people from those places.

0:49

So find them.

0:50

Learning yours and staying connected to your roots is an essential way to not only learn what your ancestors dealt with, It gives you a different outlook on life and gives you a lot more gratitude for what you have today.

1:03

It's also an essential way to preserve your cultural identity.

1:07

And in new age, spiritual communities want to escape their body, escape the reality of being a human being on the planet right now.

1:16

And so if we are escaping our ancestry and trying to pretend that our bloodline doesn't count or our human lineage doesn't count, It's simply a different form of escapism.

1:29

It's also allowing the divide and conquer tactics to deter you from doing this work.

1:34

You are allowed to claim what's in your blood, and when you do, it will ground you into your spirituality, it will ground your nervous system, and it will completely change your life.

1:44

But many folks don't know where to start, so it's actually really easy to reclaim your nature.

1:49

Find your family tree and find the places.

1:52

This is all about people and places.

1:56

Then just start doing some research.

1:58

Find the food from those times and do your best to learn them, prepare them.

2:03

Of course, they won't be exactly the same because our world is not the same.

2:07

But watch your cells light up when you introduce these new foods to your diet.

2:11

They will generate you in beautiful ways.

2:15

Learn the history of your people to gain a greater understanding of yourself.

2:20

When you know where you come from, you have a better idea of where you're going.

2:25

Then once you've learned the history of your people, you can come back to our people community with a greater understanding of your place in it and a greater groundedness in your humanness and your spirituality.

2:41

Get back to your roots.
