What Is Ancestral Storytelling?
Whether you enjoy reading, writing, or gaining insight into the divine inner genius, this blog will provide you the tools to grow empowered. We call this the Hero’s Journey. This is a trait programmed into every human upon birth, and it’s woven into every story. It’s little wonder we never tire of it in stories like Frodo and Sam, Luke Skywalker, and others. This is why our aboriginal ancestors had storytellers; a method to pass on tradition and inspire children—and their children. Without storytellers, human tradition would vanish.
But only when the body and mind are free of obstructions can the journey begin in earnest. Far too many people today are in pain, or dependent upon stimulants and drugs to appreciate the dance of life. We don’t consume the food of our grandsires, and we are left malnourished, confused, and stressed.
It may be odd to mix the disciplines of writing with longevity, but they are more interwoven than one may realize.
Four Pillars For Ancestral Empowerment.
- Lifestyle: to fuel the brain, bones, and nerves. Nutrient-dense foods and hydration. Think green juices, fresh fruits, seaweeds, raw bee pollen, pastured meats, liver, fish eggs, sardines, milk, and eggs.
- Movement: for circulation and to keep the blood flowing. Exercise, walks, and yoga.
- Stillness: to focus and ferment. Meditation, prayer, and introspection.
- Expression: through one’s written works, which reflect the author. One cannot be a storyteller without practice, rigor, and critique.
