Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Gary Stuart. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Gary, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – walk us through the story?
I was successful with Day jobs to support my inquiry into a European healing modality no one ever heard of… I took a leap of faith to give up a day job to lead workshops and events nationally with great success.
Gary, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I pride myself on sincerity as Client’s come with horrific pasts and trust me to guide them beyond ‘psychology’ to a happier and healthier place. It’s an honor to do so…
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
My name is Gary Stuart. I’ve been on my healing journey since I was 23 years old in 1974 wow! Today that’s about 50 years ago. I grew up from the ‘Woodstock generation’ to Medicare’ in a flash. What can I say or add wisdom to younger people who may be reading this article? Life goes by faster than you can believe! The irony of it all is that sometimes we cannot see the forest for the trees. Personally. I had no idea I was on a soul healing journey for this half century amount of time. One of the biggest insights I’d like to share with you is the fact that most of us on a spiritual path chose these circumstances. Maybe we had big lessons to learn but more importantly bigger insights to share about our lifetime journey. I can only hope that my insights support other people in finding hope that they have the power to create the future they want to manifest or live in. One of my biggest insights from having a less than perfect childhood with the lack of love support or affection was replaced by anger and violence in disconnection is that there can be ‘triumph over tragedy’.
Would I be who I am today, or what I have achieved what I chose to achieve and learn during my youth. Now in my senior hood I understand if I didn’t have the will to survive negative events in my family system which you could call adversity, as time passed became victory over less than humble or my nurturing formative years. One thing I want to make sure that in hindsight that I can share my wisdom is that would I be who I am today without those negative adversarial forces known to me as my parents. My biological family system unintentionally gave me a set of skills to survive them in spite of their desire to squash me and my siblings during their childhood. What qualities did they give me through the hundreds of negative experiences that I was forced to survive in as a child? As an adult would I have courage? Would I have tenacity? Would I have fearlessness? Would I have a ‘fire inside me’ on a soul level to create a better life in my adulthood than I was ever given in my childhood?
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I became a 5-Time best-selling author and a master Constellation healing facilitator for over two decades now. I’ve learned many lessons from life and that my family of origin have taught me. One of the biggest ones is that everything is a gift! Would I have those gifts if I had an easy-peasy time during my formative years? After all is said and done even the ‘negative experiences’ became life affirming positives. If nothing else, I know what not to do to any other human being during their formative years. What’s more important is that I became an author to share my wisdom and insights with the world in hopes that they may become inspired or learn from my mistakes. Being a Constellation healing facilitator for over 26 years I specialize in the hidden ancestral dynamics that were passed down to me from my parents’ ancestors. One of the biggest insights that I’ve received is “no one asks for what life gives them”. Everyone seems to be in a ‘knee jerk reaction’ to the pain and suffering that was incurred on them as a child. Then of course as parents they repeated what they experienced to their children. When some of my forebears were near death, they confided in me how their childhoods were with my grandparents. Ironically, I felt I got off easy when hearing the horrific stories of their childhoods during the American depression and World War II. Everything is cyclical, one generation tries to do it better for the next generation who then in turn try to do it better for their descendants. Unfortunately, there was no support or healing for our forebears to heal their wounds from their childhood or negative experiences they might have had with their parents who became my grandparents. I’m not excusing horrific child abuse or their Cro-Magnon way of raising me in my generation which is called ‘baby boomers’ post World War II. Luckily, I survived it with my heart and soul intact. Mt personal desire is to share unconditional love, compassion and wisdom to the masses through my writing and my healing work. This too is a gift that I might never have received had I not survived the negative experiences that I was forced to endure during my childhood. In short there’s hope! What do we do in spite of the shortcomings of our negative childhood experiences? As Beyoncé would say, make lemonade out of lemons. Of course, some people are not so lucky. Many souls get destroyed from the violence and negativity and abuse. They can end up being mass murderers or shoot up a grammar school with all the anger which was implanted in them by their parents. Even society can be abusive during their formative years. Luckily my soul took a different path and used those experiences. My courageous spirit unconsciously pushed me forward into the healing that I needed to pass on the wisdom that I gained. Many people are still involved in their struggle with their incarnation into their family system. In hindsight what if everything my family did was right because number one it didn’t kill me and #2 it led me to this place to share wisdom and compassion for human suffering of my own family and humanity at large. Yet another gift given to me in the ‘garbage’ of my past. One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that trauma is the most addictive substance on Earth! Forget heroin, drugs or any other substance. Our addiction to the past and the righteous indignation of what we were forced to endure keeps us locked into our past. This cripples us from living life fully in the present. We may continually blame those negative people and experiences of the past to Infinity and beyond. Does that really serve us? Repeating and blaming childhood patterns plus insanity however wrong keeps us locked into a time and place that no longer exists. Does that really support our Present and our Future, not to mention our happiness and vitality during our short time on Earth. I sincerely wish this writing inspires HOPE for all who take the time to read and digest my life story. Everyone’s Future is yet to be written. Namaste Gary Stuart www.GaryStuartHealing.com
