Divine guidance: Do you need to release the energetic cords attached to your ancestors and your past? Do you still have buttons that get pushed when you think of them? Take the time to recognize the patterns you are repeating from your parents and other family members established by your upbringing. Once you identify the belief systems and habits that were installed at a young age, then you can release those ties to your past. Unhook the mechanisms that push your buttons.
