Ancestral Healing

We live in a web of relationships with different types of ancestors. As well as biological ancestors we have past life, spiritual, and vocational ancestors. Spiritual ancestors can be thought of as a spiritual family. Vocational ancestors include a tradition you belong to, which might relate to an occupation or calling such as being an artisan or an artist.

We may be in a relationship with spirits who protect a group of people we are descended from, or even such spirits that look after others if we have migrated to a place where their descendants live. Here we will focus mainly on biological ancestral healing. You can also work with descendants (even if you do not have children you still have non-biological descendants).

There are a large number of ancestors (and descendants). If we go back ten generations, there are more than a thousand biological ancestors and going back twenty generations, more than a million. This creates two problems. You cannot practically work with all of these people individually. You have to work with groups of ancestors by clearing patterns from the whole line. The other problem is that you cannot get permission from all affected people to perform such work; ancestral healing is thus in some sense intentional sorcery.

Causes of Ancestral Issues

Ancestors can provide wisdom, guidance, and healing but can cause problems for descendants. This may be due to being stuck in the middle world as ghosts, repressing behavior in a family creating a family shadow, resenting the living, or creating energy patterns that adversely affect descendants. The latter can cause physical, emotional, and mental problems. They may be embedded in land, property, or objects, causing issues including fertility problems.

Ancestors may resent the living due to being unacknowledged or ignored by descendants, or by descendants committing breaches of customs or taboos, or doing things that ancestors disagree with, such as selling land. Adoption, migration, and broken relationships may cause issues, as may people unacknowledged by a family such as illegitimate children and mistresses.

Ancestors stuck in the middle world as ghosts can be helped by psychopomp. Ancestors may also need to be healed via other healing modalities as part of removing a negative energy pattern from an ancestral line, which heals the past, present and future at the same time. Ancestors not stuck in the middle world may return as Ancestral Helping Spirits and help us to heal other ancestors.

Our ancestors practised rituals for the dying and lived and died without leaving unresolved issues. They were thus less likely to become stuck as ghosts or pass negative energy patterns to descendants. This is not the case now, where there are an increasing number of ghosts and unhelpful ancestral energy patterns which overshadows the living. You should try to resolve issues in your own life before death to minimize the chance of contributing to this.
