Recently, I had the opportunity do some ancestral healing work for myself and for a friend. Up to this point, I had heard of ancestral healing from a Shaman friend who has been diving deep into the subject but I was not ready to learn about the process or do the work. Until now…
What is Ancestral Healing? Ancestral Healing heals your actual ancestors’ unresolved emotional or physical issues, problems, and/or traumas. By doing this work, it releases you from the energetic patterns that link you to those issues, problems, or traumas through the generations. These patterns can impact our lives today by creating disruptive influences, limiting beliefs, or obstacles that block our own power.
Because we are not simply a physical body, we are an energetic body, we carry all things that have influenced us in our own lives and from generations past through our ancestors. Energy is never lost; it just changes form. Therefore, issues, problems, and traumas that affected our ancestors and were not resolved by them, can stick to our psyche, energy field, or body and create roadblocks to our unlimited potential and health.
Ancestral Healing can transform patterns that are limiting us and/or preventing us from carrying out our soul’s mission and our highest health. If you have experienced recurring patterns where things always get in the way of feeling satisfied, fulfilled, or successful, you may need to look to your ancestors for healing your familial line. The best part is that the resolution of one ancestor’s trauma, resolves the issues and beliefs related to that trauma for the entire family line.
When I did this healing for myself, I immediately felt physically and emotionally lighter than I ever remember feeling. Mind you, I’m not talking about a floating sensation. I’m talking about releasing a physical pressure that has always been weighing on me. My eyes looked clearer, my voice sounded livelier, and my face looked well-rested. I slept well and have been sleeping well since that healing. Where I had been wavering in my career, I was now (over the course of 4 days) able to easily see my business for how I wanted it to be and the steps to get there. People and behaviors that would needle me in the past, now glide right off me. Things in my life have simply been flowing. As the River tells us, you need to flow; if you do not flow, you don’t go anywhere.
I will be doing more Ancestral Healing for myself in the weeks and months to come. I look forward to getting to know my ancestors, healing them, and knowing that I do not have to be defined by generations of the past. I can stop these energetic patterns right here, right now.
