Erasing Memories of Slavery: An Ancestral Heritage and an Act of Love

Speaking of memories of slavery goes far beyond the discovery of America, the so-called encounter between two worlds, or the commemorations of Hispanic Heritage Month. In a society born from forced mestizaje and complex historical processes, these memories extend beyond official accounts: they are rooted in ancestral civilizations like the Egyptian and in systems of subjugation that existed even long before Christ. Slavery as a social practice emerged in prehistory —as a consequence of wars, debts, or power— and was legitimized for centuries, leaving deep marks in the collective consciousness and in the cellular memory of millions of souls.

When we speak of ancestral heritage, we usually focus on the sacred, on what strengthens, but we rarely look head-on at the wounds we also inherit: imposed silences, subjugation, imposed poverty, guilt, pain, and even death. Many people who have worked in their akashic records have relived memories of lives marked by mistreatment, punishment, repression or slavery. And it is not coincidental that those who carry memories of this type manifest, even today, physical pains in hips, neck, hands or back, as if the body still remembered what the mind doesn't understand.

Science still cannot fully explain how these cellular memories operate, but those who have recognized them in therapeutic or spiritual processes know that their liberation transforms. Because erasing memories of slavery is not just a step in a prosperity therapy; it is a profound act of self-love. It is releasing the invisible bonds that tie the soul to ancestral suffering.

It is giving voice to a lineage that was silenced. It is giving rest to a story that has been transmitted in silence, from powerlessness and pain. And, above all, it is remembering that you are free, and that you deserve to live from abundance, dignity and expansion.

Final Reflection:

Releasing these memories is not just a spiritual practice: it is a form of love that heals your soul and that of those who came before. It is a radical affirmation of life. Because when you heal, your entire lineage breathes with you.
