The Flowering War: Toltec Teachings on Healing Ancestral Trauma, Overcoming Your Internal Enemies, and Fulfilling Your Life Purpose

In every generation of every family there is one person that is born carrying an unequal amount of the emotional and energetic burden of their lineage. In an intact culture, this person would be recognized for bearing a gift, a seed: the potential to become the healer of their family line. This potential would be cultivated, and the individual guided to learn how to use this gift to heal their personal and ancestral wounds, as well as guide others in their own process of healing.

This understanding has been lost in our modern society, and instead those bearing this gift are criticized, belittled, ostracized for the very sensitivity that would make them exceptional healers. They become the “black sheep” of their families and communities.

The Flowering War is a companion, a guide, and a roadmap for those individuals, those that have carried too much and been seen too little, those that have an incredible gift that, when untended, can become a devastating burden. It is for those that I’ve come to know as “Griefbearers,” the potential healers of generations of untended wounds and accumulated trauma. It is for those that have lost their way in bearing this burden but somehow, miraculously, keep going. It is for those would-be healers, consumed by self-criticism and self-doubt. For those wrestling with addiction and self-destruction. It is a Light to guide them out of the Darkness.

The Flowering War is for those that are determined to break the harmful patterns of their lives and their lineages. It draws on the ancestral living wisdom of the Toltecs to guide you to a greater understanding of yourself, your purpose in life, and the essential role you play in healing an increasingly wounded world.

If you recognize yourself in these words, this book is for you.
