Can GENERATIONAL HEALING begin with us accepting and facing our own resistance?
By Åsa Nilsson | Nov 17, 2023
Meet my beautiful friend, JoAnn Higa. Possibly one of the deepest and introspective individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting in a long while.
This gem is going through a catharsis of sorts, through discovering on a recent family voyage to the families “land” of Okinawa, Japan that a truth that she has felt in her body her whole life was in fact, true.
Can there be GENERATIONAL HEALING even after hard truths are revealed? Can we look at ourselves and our loved ones with softer eyes in order to experience the resistance so that we CAN get to the other side?
Listen in… with your heart and see where you can see yourself in this beautiful conversation.
