Trauma is a pervasive issue in today’s society, and it affects people across various age groups, races, and genders. We often focus on how trauma impacts us in the moment, but little attention is given to how it extends beyond the individual and towards future generations. The idea that trauma can be inherited is a topic that is difficult to comprehend. However, through research, it has been found that trauma can indeed be passed down from generation to generation, and that the best way to address it is through ancestral healing.

1) Ancestral Healing 101

Ancestral Healing is a holistic approach that seeks to address trauma, patterns, and beliefs that have been passed down through families and bloodlines. In jyotish we say that 75% of our karma comes from our family and family lineage. We break it down about 25% comes from your father and your father’s lineage, 25% from mother and mother’s lineage, 25% from the nine months we spent in the womb of our mother, and the last 25% comes from our own past life karma and programming we brought into this lifetime from our actions in previous lifetimes. Ancestral healing is a combination of traditional healing practices, spiritual rituals, and Vedic and/or therapeutic counseling that helps individuals address deep-seated emotional wounds that may be causing current issues.

The goal of Ancestral Healing is to break ancestral trauma patterns that limit personal growth and well-being. By accessing and acknowledging family history, we can address root causes of trauma and heal long-lasting emotional wounds that have been affecting us through generations.

2) How Ancestral Healing Can Help You Overcome Inherited Trauma

Inherited trauma, also known as transgenerational trauma, is a form of trauma that is transmitted from generation to generation. By understanding our ancestral history, we can break the cycle of trauma by addressing the root causes. Ancestral Healing helps us do this by helping us identify and release outdated patterns and belief systems that no longer serve us, leading to more peace and emotional balance.

Through Ancestral Healing practices such as ancestral altar creation, meditation, and intergenerational dialogue, a person gains significant insights and understanding of their family history. They can explore and remove any negative blockages that are hindering their growth and development.

3) Benefits of Ancestral Healing

Ancestral Healing has numerous benefits, including spiritual growth, emotional healing, and improved physical health. Spiritually, it can create a deeper connection between the individual and their ancestors, leading to a greater sense of belonging and meaning. Emotionally, it can free individuals from emotional patterns that no longer serve them. Physical health benefits may include a strengthened immune system and improved sleep quality.

4) Starting Your Ancestral Healing Journey

Starting your Ancestral Healing journey is a personal choice. It’s important to find a reputable ancestral healing practitioner or therapist to guide you through the process. Self-care practices such as creating an ancestral altar, journaling, and meditation can also help individuals heal from inherited trauma.

Ancestral healing offers profound benefits to those seeking to overcome inherited trauma. While it may be challenging to dive deep into one’s family history, the process of identifying and releasing deep-seated emotional wounds that have been passed down through generations leads to long-lasting healing. By tending to the roots of our being, we can break free from inherited trauma patterns, embrace personal growth, and establish a deeper connection to our family history. Ancestral Healing offers a way to overcome emotional and spiritual limitations so that we may thrive in our current lives.
