Ancestral Healing
Transgenerational Therapy
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”―C.G. Jung
WHAT IS ANCESTRAL HEALING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO DO IT?
Ancestral healing is the process of addressing, understanding, and transforming inherited patterns, traumas, and unresolved emotional or spiritual issues that come down through a family lineage. This practice is rooted in the idea that the experiences, beliefs, and traumas of our ancestors can influence us on physical, emotional, mental, and energetic levels, often manifesting as challenges or blockages in our lives.
Why is ancestral healing important?
- Breaking Generational Cycles
Patterns such as addiction, abuse, poverty, or health issues can persist across generations. Ancestral healing allows individuals to break these cycles by bringing awareness and healing to the root causes.
- Releasing Emotional and Energetic Burdens
Unresolved traumas or emotions from ancestors can linger in the family system, manifesting as fears, anxieties, or blockages in descendants. By healing these, individuals can experience greater freedom and ease in their lives.
- Strengthening Connection to Lineage
This practice fosters a deeper understanding of one’s roots, promoting a sense of belonging, resilience, and wisdom. It can also help honor and integrate the positive traits and strengths of one’s ancestors.
- Healing Relationships
By addressing inherited wounds, ancestral healing can improve family dynamics and relationships, even with family members who may no longer be alive.
- Spiritual Growth and Evolution
Many spiritual traditions view ancestral healing as a necessary step for personal evolution. It clears karmic baggage and allows both the individual and the lineage to evolve spiritually.
- Creating a Legacy of Healing
The healing work done in the present doesn’t only benefit the individual but can positively influence future generations, creating a healthier lineage.
How is ancestral healing practiced?
• Rituals and Offerings
Many cultures honor ancestors through ceremonies, offerings, or prayers to acknowledge and seek their guidance or forgiveness.
• Therapeutic Modalities
Approaches like family constellations, transgenerational therapy, or somatic healing can reveal and resolve hidden ancestral influences.
• Shamanic Practices
Shamanic practitioners often connect with ancestral spirits to heal lineage wounds.
• Meditation and Energy Work
Techniques like visualization, Reiki, or guided meditations can help release energetic ties to ancestral trauma.
• Storytelling and Genealogy
Exploring family history and learning about ancestors’ lives can bring insight into inherited patterns.
Why is this relevant on a spiritual path?
Ancestral healing aligns with the belief that personal healing is interconnected with collective healing. By resolving ancestral wounds, individuals not only free themselves but also contribute to the healing and elevation of the collective consciousness. This process can open pathways to inner peace, purpose, and harmony.
During our women circles or individual sessions, we will work on both lineages: maternal and paternal. The healing sessions will be conducted by Mounia, using a guided meditation, sound healing and hands on healing. The first session will focus on the mother lineage, the second on the father lineage.
