In recent years, a tragic epidemic appears to be unfolding in families in the Western World: the estrangement of family members, most notably, adult children distancing themselves from their parents. Recent US studies suggest that 1 in 4 Americans will experience estrangement, and the numbers are increasing with every passing year.
The human flaws of parents have been a source of challenge and growth throughout human history; just ask Greek gods and biblical characters. Yet we know that each one of us was born into a time and place chosen by the soul for our own expansion. To live this principle is to face the discomforts of our closest relationships, rather than turn away.
What is often most challenging for parents is a lack of clarity about the cause of these heartbreaking rifts, though certainly division related to political views and belief systems leads the way. It is important to note that most commonly these are not situations of actual physical or emotional abuse, but rather personal differences. Ironically, often parents who were once rebels in their own time and who now question current cultural narratives can appear threatening to their more conforming adult children.
It seems that never before have so many children turned away from conversations of healing or resolution, even with parents who remain open and loving. Many are also choosing to keep their young children apart from grandparents, amplifying the pain of separation and cauterizing the beauty of multi-generational affection and connection.
Estranged parents often face very difficult questions about how and when to try to reconnect. What to say, how to manage lonely holidays, or what to do when there is important news to share. If there is no greater love than that of a parent for a child, then it may seem there is no greater pain than to have that love flow without return or response. There are no easy answers, but as always, there is a way for the spirit to guide the heart.
This transmission is for parents who find themselves feeling lost in such a tragedy, and for anyone who seeks to understand how to find a way forward when we feel unloved by those we love the most.
From within the finite world the Infinite may seem impossible untouchable unimaginable and our own infinite nature may seem so distinct from the material that the two meet like trains attempting to cross yet colliding with ferocity for both cannot travel upon the same track Instead flip the switch jump the rails do whatever it takes to eliminate the finite mind for only then is freedom found...

The alienation of estrangement is one of the epidemics of our times. Division of all kinds is at an all-time high, between cultures, faiths, and political tribes. But there is no rift more painful than that between parent and child.
While this transmission does specifically address parents who find themselves having lost contact with adult children, the guidance within is applicable for anyone who finds themselves in a position of loving without feeling loved in return, an experience most of us know well.
PLEASE NOTE: Registration is required for this Salon.
much love, Adi
