Book Cover & Preview Text
Introduction We All Have A Story To Tell We all have a story to tell, who we are, where we come from and where we are going as our lives unfold before us, on our human journey. Our stories are unique and yet each of our individual stories contributes to our global story of humanity as we leave our footprints in the never-ending story of the evolution of Planet Earth. In some ways we are artists painting pictures as our lives unfold before us and, if we can for a moment stand back and observe the overall picture, like an artist does as he or she paints the canvas, we may get to see the perfection of every choice we made, which results in a masterpiece of our own creation. We may not see the perfection when our lives are filled with despair and suffering as that only comes when we reach a level of understanding that acknowledges the soul's journey through lifetime after lifetime. We are born into a family that can help us heal the past and recreate a new future except we are mostly unaware we carry the unconscious burdens of our ancestors that can make the path difficult at times. But by becoming aware we are merely following in their footsteps, we can make a different choice and go another way. The world in which we live is very different to that of our ancestors and yet, despite advances in all aspects of our culture, society, scientific and technological achievements over the centuries, humanity continues to face wars, conflicts and natural disasters, which cause people to leave their homelands and move from one country to another for survival in search of a better life. While we may no longer look for new pastures to graze our cattle and fields to grow crops like our ancestors, migration is as much a current global issue now as it has been throughout the history of our planetary evolution. Pioneering Spirit tells our family story of migration and how our ancestors chose to leave the land of their birth in the British Isles and travel thousands of miles across the globe to establish a new life in New Zealand and Argentina. Whilst our story is unique it does share a common theme of those who continue to travel the world to earn a living in order to have a better life than their country of origin can offer. This is a pattern that passes down the generations and it may be that your family shares a similar story. Pioneering Spirit is not just a family story but goes deeper into the emotional trauma that affects the generations and how it is possible to release the wounds of the past and free us up for a happier, healthier life. It is a story of transformation and change and maybe can inspire you to reflect on your ancestral lineage and discover treasures that may lie hidden deep within your own unique family story. You never know what you might find, but first you have to be willing and curious enough to open the door.

About the Book
Pioneering Spirit is true-life story about transformation, self-development and healing, showing how our past may hold the key to understanding and healing our present day life experiences. It began as a memoir of the author’s mother, Joan Brownrigg, a gifted and highly respected natural healer who asked her to write her life story. Writing about her parents and grandparents, the author connected with her pioneering ancestors who had left England, Scotland and Ireland to migrate to New Zealand and Argentina at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. She uncovered generational patterns and emotional trauma of separation and heartbreak from leaving their homelands and became aware these were affecting her own life. Inspired by her mother’s healing ability, she developed her gift as a healer and trained in Colour and Energy Healing which took her on an inner journey to release the emotional wounds of her past and help heal the ancestral timeline.
About the Author
At first glance this book might appear to be just another autobiography. However, it is in fact a profound broadening of the concept itself and may herald a ground-breaking change to how future authors should approach the genre. By exploring and healing our ancestral timelines together with our spiritual lifetimes, we become more able to fully express our personality in the present. Pioneering Spirit provides a vital step in the understanding of our ‘Self’ and the many psychological and emotional influences that govern our automatic ways of thinking, believing, and behaving. We are experiencing a great “awakening” in humanity’s perception of reality. Our individual awakening requires us to identify those core archetypal beliefs within us that unconsciously stymie the fullest expression of who we are and why we are here at this momentous time in our evolution.
