What Is Ancestral Healing And Why Is It Important?

Ancestral healing is a powerful form of spiritual/psychological/physiological healing that focuses on uncovering and resolving the traumas passed down to us (and through us) from the generations that came before us.

What are some of the most empowering benefits of this work?

• Embodiment & greater sense of self-knowing
• Increased focus, strength, and well-being
• Willingness to ‘see the other side’ - both in terms of being willing to consider alternative perspectives as well as learning how to ‘sense the other side of the veil, moving from physical to non-physical knowings
• Cutting energetic cords, establishing boundaries, and taking our power back.
• Claiming our autonomy, accessing our natural gifts (or ‘medicine’) and learning to express  who we are in the world.
• Gaining a  greater sense of hope and meaning in our everyday lives.

Ancestral healing is about learning to heal the wounds and traumas that have been passed down to us from our ancestors. Whether or not we know or identify with our biological ancestors, this work can transform us from the inside out, empowering us on our paths, connecting us to those forces, beings, and lifetimes/bloodlines that embolden us to access and live our highest timelines. These forces can empower us on paths and help us activate and achieve healing both for ourselves and those who came before us.
