Angel Therapy
Challenges I have experienced in this life have arisen to heal internally what is exhibited externally. I chose to be born into a petite female body with a feminine appearance to come to value the divine feminine. This has been difficult due to living in a patriarchal society, the victimizing experiences I have had as a female, and the honoring of traditional male traits in my family. I have to give my guides credit for such a humorously blatant exhibit of the struggle. When I asked the Angels what they would like to share about the impact of a name, they showed me each compilation of letters with a vibration around it. Certain names are bright and sparkling while others are written in bubble letters surrounded by soft colors. Others are simply words without a strong energetic attachment. When I asked why this is the case, they explained each person is a representative in this life of their soul. There are many decisions to make about the weight objects, ideas, and
relationships will make to influence the course of one’s life. A soul who knows it will be given a family name, or one with great historic significance, is doing so as a way of stepping into the archetype of the name’s energy. Those born or who marry into royalty assume a great burden, for they must learn to be themselves while carrying the weight of the title they hold. Even if one is not royalty, each family is its own kingdom with its own expectations of governance and expression. To live as a member of that family implies adherence to the norms. Those who seek to live more as an individual and less tied to the tribe choose a hero’s journey due to facing alienation and abandonment in favor of their personal divine mission. Their journey often leads them back to their family as more healed representative. If you are someone who isn’t fond of your name, it could be due to a number of factors: the inherited karma or trauma of your name; the expectations your parents had of someone with your given name; or the healing you are being called to do regarding acceptance and rejection.
To gain an understanding of the impact of your name on your soul’s journey, you can sit in meditation and ask yourself the following questions: 1. Do you like your name? 2. What do your first and last names mean to you. 3. Are you named for someone? If so, what connection do you feel to that person or archetype? 4. Do your names give you a sense of comfort, belonging, or strength? 5. Why did you choose your name as part of this human experience? 6. How can you heal the karma associated with your name along your and your spouse’s lineage? Your name is a representation of your soul’s incarnation in this life. It carries beautiful healing lessons for you and your family. What you heal within extends to all who have held your name, and who have lived through the challenges you assumed as part of your journey. You heal for future generations and the collective. Live your name as the loving unique expression of the divine you embody.

Certain individuals, such as I, are born with a juxtaposition between their name and the soul’s traits which are to be nourished in this life. My given name is Maureen Catherine Mann. My mother’s maiden name is Manning. I am named after both of my grandmothers, who carried different aspects of the feminine experience in their lifetimes. My associated last names both strongly hold defined masculine energy.
