One of the reasons to think about ancestral energies is to find out more about where we came from and what sorts of things we may have inherited.
When people use the DNA swab to research their family history, they find out about possible hereditary health issues, info about the different parts of us that came from different cultures and ethnic groups.
Of course, in life we may have inherited things from our ancestors such as furniture, jewelry or property. And these may contain mysteries as well.
I remember a company party where they had hired me to do rune readings for their guests. One woman came to my table, looked at the runes and her jaw dropped. She asked me what they were. She said that jewelry and furniture that she had inherited had runes all over them, but no one in her family ever talked to her about what the signs meant. What do we lose when the stories are not told to the next generation? What effect does that have on what we know and who we are?
How many of us have things like that in our family that no one ever talked about? What kind of questions have popped into our minds as we thought about our families and how things came to be as we know them?
When we think about what we may have inherited, it is not only property and DNA. What about ideas, attitudes, behaviors and principles have we inherited?
All of that is part of who we are. Certainly, we can change these things if we choose to, but first we bring them to present consciousness.
Many of us have done such things in the course of choosing partners and careers that differed from our family's expectations of us.
One of the tools for exploring such things are Past Life Regressions. It is a way to find out more about ourselves. Usually important things that surface in past life recalls include the talents, skills and abilities we have in our present life as well as fears or phobias. Recapping our session helps us see the patterns in these things that influence and shape our present life.
In this way, we can clear some of those ancient influences that we wish to clear.
Another way of working with ancestral energies is when we are communicating with our spirit guides. I find that often, ancestors turn up as spirit guides, the same way that people often identify someone who they knew and loved in this lifetime who has already crossed over is staying with them as a spirit guide.
In the case energies in our self that we want to disconnect from, reiki healing can help do that.
In the case of energies in our home that we want to clear, house blessings can do that.
What are the things you want to know? What are the energies you want to align with?
Remember, none of us would be here now if our ancestors had not been successful in doing what it takes to survive.
Our early ancestors did not have any guide books to help them figure out what to do. It was a combination of gut instinct and what they learned from the world around them. Their focus on observing what was going on around them, such as the behavior of animals and plants, as well as other people, gave them clues about what was safe to eat or good for healing, which way to go and which people to bring closer and which people to avoid.
In other words, paying attention to their gut instincts, which is intuition, and psychic input they picked up through their third eye, is how they aligned with their guidance. And it is these same factors that guide us today. Tuning into these sources of guidance caused our ancestors to be more psychic and intuitive than many give them credit for being. Think about navigating your way through this world the way they had to navigate to survive.
DNA has excited and intrigued many people to find out more about themselves that way. What else can you perceive or would you like to learn about in addition to that?
Our own stories illuminate our path in life. These are ways to turn on the lights and see more about where we are going.
I always love hearing from you, so if you feel like sending me a note, calling or coming to see me, please do!
If any of you has any idea you would like me to include in my newsletters, I will consider all suggestions.
Thank you, Krissi for suggesting this topic.
Have a wonderful day! |
