For today we will be discussing residential schools and generational trauma.

So I just wanted to give a trigger warning for anyone listening out there that these will be the things we will be discussing today

and we send our love to you and our healing energy to you

that will be with you during this time whether you choose to listen or not and we

love you so much. Okay y y'all, come in close.

I got a great story for you today.

We are traveling to my beloved Mexico,

to the Yucatan Peninsula,

and I'm going to tell you a story about these two brothers.

One is named Caniche and the other is to seek.

Caniche had a kind gentle heart and his brother to seek could not be more different. He was cruel and violent.

And these two brothers, one day they fell in love with a girl who had great

comedic timing and could do complex math in her head and she probably was also beautiful

but I digress.

These two brothers fought to the death for the love of this maiden and they both died. After their death their souls entered into two trees, the

chakotri and the chaketri. Kinnich, the kind and gentle brother, became the chakotry, whose sap even today is used

medicinally and is healing.

To seek, the cruel and violent brother entered into the chitentry and his sap is considered a toxic poison and will literally burn your skin.

It is so interesting that these two brothers from the same exact family could hold both the sting and the relief. This concept of sting

and relief is an indigenous teaching that many indigenous communities have known

about for centuries.

That in nature, often the poison or the sting is located very near to the antidote or the healing or the balm.
