If you unpack your ancestral baggage, persistent symptoms that have long resisted your efforts to resolve them may be healed or greatly diminished.

Researchers now believe that if our ancestors suffered trauma, we could be negatively impacted by their experiences. By studying how people’s environments and behaviors impact our genes (the study of epigenetics), we are learning that trauma can impact how genes express themselves. This means there is no actual change to the gene itself, but rather a change as to what turns the gene on or off.

Causes of ancestral trauma: 

Historical events, oppression, and discrimination can be a cause of ancestral trauma. But personal traumatic events can also lead to inherited trauma. These events can include things such as:

• Losing access to a parent due to separation, divorce, or death
• Living in a home where a family member struggles with mental health issues
• Being a victim of abuse, neglect or violence
• Being exposed to a family member’s substance abuse
• Having a family member who attempts or dies by suicide
• Losing a relationship with a family member due to imprisonment

Did your parents experience any of the above? Your grandparents? Your ancestors from many generations ago may have experienced many of these without you having any  knowledge of the history that precedes you, but the experiences have left residue in your DNA.

Some symptoms that may indicate ancestral trauma:

• Symptoms such as headaches, fatigue or nausea that have no other explanation
• Being easily startled
• Feeling hopeless or numb
• Experiencing anxiety or depression
• Difficulty concentrating
• Sleep difficulties
• Experiencing anger, guilt, sadness or shame with no apparent cause
• Mental health conditions such as PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, and substance use disorder

You may be experiencing some of the above symptoms and have chalked them up to other causes. But if traditional treatments and remedies aren’t providing relief, they may be originating from ancestral trauma, which may make them much more challenging to heal. When you heal any ancestral trauma you may be carrying, you also help all those who come after you to live a healthier and more productive life free of that trauma.

What to expect during Unpack Your Ancestral Baggage:

We’ll begin the session with a guided meditation that will facilitate a connection to your Higher Power. As you relax and surrender to the energies of the Divine, healing on all levels is possible. Although you may not know exactly what you have been carrying as part of your ancestral baggage, Spirit does. Spirit also knows what is needed to heal those lower vibrational energies to help you find the peace and healing you are seeking.

After the Meditation:

Once the meditation is complete, you’ll have several minutes to process what you experienced during that time. You may also receive additional guidance as you acclimate to the changes that are in process. Keep a journal nearby to note anything you receive.

After your processing time, we’ll gather for a group energy circle to further empower healing 0f your ancestral trauma. As the spiritually-guided life energies of Reiki work within and around you, you may experience a shift in consciousness to facilitate your deepest healing. With your ego set aside, you can allow yourself to go where the energy wishes to take you.

Drums, rattles and singing bowls may enhance your healing experience and cause a whole-body shifts that rocks you to your very core. Your guides and angels may offer guidance and direction as the synergy of the group further empowers the unpacking and healing of your ancestral baggage. Healing ancestral trauma isn’t an easy task, but when you request and surrender to the power of the Divine, all things are possible.

Before you begin the session, you might want to prepare your space so it feels safe and comfortable. Turn off your cell phone and make sure you will not be disturbed during the session so you can have the deepest, most personal experience possible. Have a blanket, water and perhaps a few tissues nearby. Remember to keep a journal handy to record any insights that come to you.
