I get this question all the time. Someone has done ancestral work with another practitioner, but they feel like the symptoms are still there, or they’re still having fears around certain actions. Generally what has happened is they’ve done work to elevate one ancestor, but not the whole lineage. As a result, they don’t know what’s next and the healing isn’t *fully* happening because it's not complete or being embodied.
These 3 things happen when people have done incomplete ancestral work:
- You didn’t go back far enough in your lineage.
- You’re working with an ancestor who doesn’t have the power or capability to do the healing work.
- If you have the right ancestor, you got the blessing and the help, but you’re not embodying the new energy, so you are actually the block.
There are some differences with my whole lineage practices:
- When you work with a very old ancestor rather than a more recent one, you will receive far more energy, clarity, and support flowing through the whole lineage, not just you.
- You get more than a single prescription or offering you need to do because we heal the old wounds.
- Reverence and healing doesn’t become transactional. It’s a relationship.
- The old ones will swoop in to help your entire lineage, if you just ask!
- You will know what is shifting within you and how to step into your true power.
Traditional ancestor connection, veneration, and honoring is valid, but the purpose was for short-term fixes for survival. It’s not deep enough to really heal the traumas that are still present in your life. With deeper healing, paths will open up for you.
After you listen to this episode, explore again for yourself:
- What could be possible if my lineage didn’t suffer anymore?
- Who would I be and who would I become?
- What would I do?
- What would come towards me?
- What would I run towards if I wasn’t holding on to the trauma?
