Inherited Emotion

« Back to Lexicon Index

Inherited emotions, also known as ancestral or inherited trauma, are emotional experiences and traumas endured by ancestors that can leave a lasting impact on subsequent generations, shaping their emotional well-being and behavior.

The Epigenetic Imprint: How Trauma Travels Through Generations

At the core of inherited emotions lies the fascinating field of epigenetics. This branch of science investigates how environmental factors and experiences can modify gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. It suggests that our genes carry not only the physical traits inherited from our ancestors but also the emotional imprints of their experiences.

Unraveling the Emotional Threads: Understanding the Mechanisms

While the precise mechanisms of inherited emotions are still being explored, researchers propose that emotional responses to traumatic events can result in biochemical marks on our DNA. These marks can alter gene expression patterns, potentially predisposing individuals to specific emotional responses or psychological conditions. While the precise mechanisms and transmission routes of these emotional imprints are still under investigation, studies have suggested a possible link between ancestral experiences and the inheritance of certain phobias, anxiety disorders, and personality traits. Ongoing scientific research aims to deepen our understanding of the extent, mechanisms, and scope of this captivating phenomenon of inherited emotions.

From Ancestors to Offspring: The Ripple Effect of Inherited Emotions

Evidence suggests that inherited emotions may manifest in various ways, such as the transmission of certain phobias, anxiety disorders, or personality traits across generations. Though individuals may not have directly experienced the traumatic events themselves, their ancestors’ emotional imprints can play a role in shaping their psychological makeup and how they navigate the world.

Emotion Code® and Inherited Emotions

In the practice of Emotion Code®, inherited emotions are seen as emotional imprints that can be transmitted across generations, impacting our emotional well-being and contributing to various life challenges. These emotions are understood to be energetically encoded within our subconscious mind and can influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Emotion Code® practitioners consider inherited emotions to be energetic imbalances or blockages, similar to those emotions that are generated or absorbed. Consequently, practitioners collaborate with clients to identify and release these inherited emotions, aiming to facilitate profound transformations in both physical and emotional aspects. One unique thing about using Emotion Code® for releasing inherited emotions is that, when released, these emotions are cleared from all persons (for examples, siblings and their children) who may have them trapped in their energy fields, even if they didn’t directly receive a session.

Exploring Personal and Collective Healing

Understanding inherited emotions can provide a new lens through which to view personal and collective healing. By recognizing the potential influence of ancestral experiences on our emotional landscape, we can embark on journeys of self-discovery, seek therapeutic interventions, and engage in practices that promote resilience and well-being.
