Releasing Generational “Curses”
I had noticed the tendency before, but, until Amanda Goldston wrote about it in my ebook, Masters of Release, I had never considered how one could become clear of problems that seem to affect generations of the same family.
You could almost call these problems “family curses,” whether they are issues with health or happiness or abundance. It seems so difficult to release those family proclivities. We even say things like, “Yep, I’ve got a bad temper, just like my dad.” Or we say, “Heart problems run through my family for generations, so I’m sure I’ll have them, too.”
Amanda has opened my eyes to the possibilities of clearing these generational tendencies with her approach, which she spells out fully in her chapter, ‘Like Father, Like Son.’
I became aware of Amanda through one of her marvelous relaxation audios. Her mellifluous, English-accented voice has led me into a state of deep relaxation on several occasions, and her approach of using relaxation and guided imagery to help generate answers to difficult situations is nothing short of amazing.
Through our online association, she has become my friend, much like many of the authors represented in ‘Masters of Release,’ so, when I asked her for a chapter about ‘release,’ I offered no further instructions. I simply trusted her to deliver useful, quality information. And that is exactly what she did.
Consider your own life. Are there negative patterns that you see in your life that mirror those of your ancestors?
Or, as Amanda says it in her chapter, “If you are experiencing lack of abundance, health, happiness, or any other good thing in your life, you could be following the same patterns and beliefs as your parents and grandparents did; and you are probably teaching the same beliefs to your children.”
And then Amanda guides you through a process of healing, and not just healing for you, but healing for generations that came before and those that will come after. You just have to read it to understand. It’s good stuff.
But then, there’s lots of good stuff in my new program, ‘Mastering Your Power of Release.’ The ebook that has Amanda’s chapter, ‘Masters of Release,’ also contains chapters from nine other Release Masters. And the other ebook in the package, ‘The Power of Release,’ is filled with my release methods.
Both ebooks, along with the audios and interviews in the package, are designed to enable you to get clear from the gunk that holds you back. You need to learn to just let go of the encumbrances. Your life will change, once you learn to master your Power of Release.

I, like many others, come from a family with all sorts of ingrained beliefs passed down from generation to generation. One major belief very happily carried on by many in my family is the belief that being overweight runs in our family. That it’s ok to be overweight because everyone in our family is. It gives people a valid (not) excuse to eat excessively and refrain from taking responsibility.
Fortunately, a couple of us have thrown out that belief — !

This is understandable in 3 out of 4 relationships; the rest are those that we are connected to as children or others. More needs to be done to raise awareness of the types of relationships that cannot be resolved easily or quickly, these individuals are referred to in books such as The Sociopath Next Door (Martha Stout), Why Does He Do That (lundybancroft.com), Coercive Control (Evan Stark), and on a site by children who have reached legal age: courageouskids.net.
In The Speed of Trust, Stephen M. R. Covey refers to such individuals; the solutions offered, despite many otherwise applicable concepts, only touch the surface. Forgiving becomes a daily consideration; ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ easily applies to such interactions. The purest intentions become turned upon the most innocent, causing harm that lasts many lifetimes: one in four families, one in three females. Currently, this phenomenon has been very much on the rise. If we focus on a solution for this, the rest could take care of itself.
