One of the most devastating things that can happen to a person is the sad reality of living in a dangerous relationship or hostile family environment. Those who are children growing up with illicit drug use, abuse or neglect have little choice but to adapt to their surroundings the best that they can. However, as adults there are more options and one of them is to put a halt to the energetic patterns that support the cycle of abuse.

If you have grown up as a victim of any kind of abuse, you know that it can affect your current relationships in every way imaginable – physically, mentally, emotionally and even on a spiritual level. You may be over-ridden with feelings of guilt, fear or distrust. Because of your feelings of powerlessness, you may feel that you need to strike back or maintain a hyper-vigilant desire to control everything. This is a natural reaction, however, it isn’t very helpful for creating a happier life.

Releasing Yourself from the Cycle of Abuse

One of the biggest problems involved in abuse is being chronically stuck in the past or having an unhealthy attachment to the very people who may have caused the most harm. Psychology calls it enmeshment and that’s a pretty good description of what it’s like. Through the relationship of victim/perpetrator, each person becomes so karmically entwined with the other that it’s really hard to determine where one person leaves off and the other begins. If you are a person who subscribes to the idea of reincarnation and past lives, the victim/perpetrator relationship takes on new meaning.

Karma is simply the Law of Cause and Effect. What one puts out, will come back to them sooner or later. Sometimes it comes back in this lifetime, however, many times the effects don’t come back until some future life. This explains why it is so important to find other ways to respond rather than striking back at those who abuse us. It may feel good in the moment, yet a seed has been sown that will bring that suffering back to us sometime in the future.

In this Intuitive Learning meditation, you will go through a simple process that could help you to break the cycle of abuse so that all the feelings of anger, fear and suffering can become a thing of the past. Like our other meditations and self-hypnosis formulas, we are using the Intuitive Learning Circles from Soul Prayer Charts and Gifts from the Rainforest.

Step One – Abandoning The Cycle of Abuse – The Cause of Present and Future Unhappiness

Directions: Get out a piece of paper and a pen and set aside about 20 minutes to go through this exercise.

#1.

Take several deep breaths as you gaze softly at this first circle.

Think about your family of origin. What does your body feel like?

For instance, does it feel heavy, tight, numb,  etc?

Vine of the Soul Medicine

How would you describe your mental/emotional mindset?

Would you say it is sad, angry, depressed, anxious, or something else?

Make a note of what you notice on your piece of paper.

#2.

The following symbols will help you to let go of patterns of abuse being held in your DNA. As you look at each one with it’s affirmation, let yourself relax as much a possible:

“I let go of my tendency to sacrifice my safety.”

 

 

“I release the pattern of fear and distrust from my body and mind.”

 

“I easily and effectively dispel lies and disinformation.”

#3.

Here are some more statements that might dig up ways that you are inadvertently supporting the cycle of abuse.. Fill in the blanks with answers that come while looking at the circle:

“I stop using my energy to feed ____________.”

“I stop feeding my fears of ______________.”

“I cut off the ways that ____________.”

#4.

“I can’t stop thinking about _______________.”

#5.

Once you’re done writing things down, look at the Sun Circle and breathe deeply to bring strength and connection to your spirit back into your heart.

“I fill my heart with the strength and protection. I hold the victory of Love in mind.”

#6.

Continue breathing and look at this Soul Chart for several minutes:

“I bring clarity and personal power back into my mind and body.”

#7.

Because of the abuse, your essence has gotten lost in a dark place. Bring it back by breathing, looking at the symbol and feeling the soft area between your ribs – the solar plexus. Imagine that you are calling back your essence like a child coming back home from being outside.

“I call all parts of my soul and essence back home to my center where they can be safe again.”

#8.

Imagine that you are in a very safe place where you are comfortable and feel completely protected. Let yourself imagine it in every detail.

#9.

Gaze softly at this circle while you keep breathing and feel your body relax:

“I am home, where I belong and I’m filled with light, healing and love.”


It might help to move around and stretch your body. Go ahead and take a few moments to do that if you want.

#10.
Use this next circle to help you disentangle yourself from any other person or soul, now or in the past. Remember to stay calm, using anger or fear will not allow you to release the enmeshment.

“I send you back to where you belong. Our time together is finished.”

Autonomy

 

#11.

Now imagine that you are removing any marks or karmic imprints from your energy field that come from violence, abuse or neglect. Imagine that your Higher Self is cleaning you up until you are bright and shiny.

“I am free from the past. I am in alignment with my Soul”

Don’t stop until you feel complete and much more at ease.

Air

Notice how you are feeling now. Do you feel better than you did when you started the meditation?

If you do, Congratulations!

I would suggest that you go through this meditation any time you feel like you are caught up by or enmeshed with anyone you know – family, friends, partners, bosses – anyone you feel an unusual and negative attraction to.
