This allows for the continuation of the lines of life into future generations. This connection also provides an opportunity for the voice and feelings of the grandparent to deeply penetrate the mind of the grandchild. Like water feeding the roots of a tree, the feelings of grandparents can extend and strengthen the existence of the grandchildren. Father represents the conscious mind, para-sympathetic nervous system, and anything that provides growth, movement, and individuality. Children represent the twelve cranial nerves, laughter, innocence, and anything that awakens to the increase of life.
Grandparents represent the brain, truth, wisdom, and anything that yearns to love god more.
Like society and the body, the family tree is also interconnected. Each person has a specific contribution to make to the happiness and health of the family body. When we identify and support the individual needs of one person in the family, the entire family benefits. Likewise, each person in the family tree has a specific gift to give the family. When this gift is acknowledged within a child, it begins to be more revealed in their personality.
