We have many different types of ancestors that affect us and our energy. Along with our blood ancestry, we have adopted ancestry (such as step parents and adoptive parents), cultural ancestry (people from the culture we’re born into) and ancestors of the land where we live and / or where we’re from.
We have connections to all of these and they understandably have an influence on the person we are today – they affect our beliefs, our values and purpose in this life. Some of these influences are positive, allowing us to flourish and be successful, others are negative and hold us back from living a free, happy and abundant life.
When these influences are negative, it’s often a result of the trauma our ancestors have experienced. Whether it’s emotional heartbreak, abandonment or being involved in tragedies such as war or famine, our ancestors have had to deal with a lot… And this trauma can be carried forwards and repeated in future generations, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.
How do I know if I need Ancestral Clearing?
Ancestral blockages usually show up as a limitation in our life, preventing us from breaking a cycle of bad relationships, self-sabotage or seemingly constant bad luck. Almost everyone can benefit from ancestral healing, however it’s a very personal thing and only you will know if it’s the right time to work on this.
How does Ancestral Clearing Work?
A Shaman will connect with your helping ancestors that are available and willing to assist in healing your blood lines and repairing old wounds.
Your lineage will be cleared of blockages, allowing the life force energy that moves through your ancestors and through you to flow more easily, with less distortions or disruptions.
This clearing will allow you to unlock your gifts and live up to your full potential in this lifetime, rather than reliving old family patterns or traumas from the past.
Ancestral Curses
A curse is essentially bad energy sent our way with ill intent. If you absorb and take it on, it will darken and disturb your energy field, drawing and diverting your energy away from what is important (i.e. your family, friends or your job).
Our ancestors were a lot more aware of this ability to inflict bad energy on another, and it is possible that a curse can extend down family lines. Curses can also be cleared with the help of a Shaman.
