Ancestral Work
From a Shamanic viewpoint, existence spans multiple dimensions simultaneously, as we embody multiple dimensions. Our DNA connects us to our ancestral influences, and past life dimensional attachments influencing our consciousness, similar to energetic influences shaping our physical, emotional, and spiritual worlds in this time-space. This incredible coexistence of dimensions is a remarkable phenomenon, worth exploring to gain a deeper understanding of our human experience.
ANCESTORS
In a spiritual perspective, generational karma can influence a family for years, even skipping members. Ancestors unknown to the individual can impact their family line as a whole. In the Western world, it is widely accepted that issues such as addiction, abuse, incest, and illnesses can have a genetic element drawn from past generations. While these issues may skip generations, negatively affecting descendants at a later time, a shamanic perspective is that the souls of past generations require healing and transformation. Only then can we break the repetitive cycle of generational negativity and allow future generations to flourish.
Shamanic Ancestral Healing is a holistic approach to healing based on ancient wisdom of indigenous cultures that believes in interconnectedness. According to this perspective, we are all connected in a web of life that involves not only people around us, but also the spirits of our ancestors. The ancestors play a significant role in influencing our lives even long after leaving this world, with their energy leaving imprints on our DNA.
Recent scientific research confirms the shamanic perspective through a phenomenon
known as epigenetic inheritance. The trauma our ancestors experienced can have a profound impact that is passed down to future generations. Shamanic Ancestral Healing seeks to restore balance in the web of life and promote well-being.
Undertaking the process of shamanic ancestral healing typically involves working with a shamanic practitioner who guides individuals through the process of connection and healing. The practitioner may utilize a variety of techniques including journeying, drumming, rituals, and more to facilitate connection with ancestors and release any negative energy or blockages.
