Ancestral Healing Practitioner and Coach

An ancestral healing practitioner helps an individual identify and heal ancestral trauma, ancestral patterns, and limiting beliefs that may have been inherited through their ancestral lineage or from genetic relatives.

We all have ancestral trauma or generational trauma to some degree. The unhealed traumatic or limiting experiences of our ancestors from generations past and the resulting beliefs and programming that come from those experiences, when left unhealed, can be passed down to future generations through teaching, observation, energetically, and epigenetically. Working to heal these traumas and the resulting programming can significantly improve a person’s life experience and allow them to break free from toxic patterns.

Ancestral trauma can be identified in a variety of ways, but is most easily seen in limiting physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual patterns that repeat across generations in a lineage. These generational imbalances can result from traumatic ancestral experiences and the resulting programming that is passed down to future generations. This form of programming can be difficult to heal if it is not recognized as ancestral, because the origin of the limiting pattern does not stem from a person’s own life experience. In the case of ancestral trauma, a person’s limiting life experiences and perspectives result from a much older pattern that predates the individual’s own life.

There are a variety of methods and approaches to healing ancestral trauma. The first step is identifying the ancestral trauma and patterning and its impact on a person’s life. From here, there are a variety of techniques including meditative practices, somatic healing techniques, energy healing methods, inner parts work, and other methods that can be used to release and transform the ancestral limitations experienced by an individual.

When a person overcomes ancestral patterns, they begin to live their life through their own core truth or their authentic truth, rather than through the lens of limiting generational patterning. They begin to experience positive change in their life, they feel more free and sovereign over their life choices and experiences, they overcome inherited limiting beliefs and programming, and they may even experience improved health conditions.

Additionally, once the limiting ancestral patterns are broken in a lineage, the transformation and healing of these patterns can be shared with others in the lineage epigenetically and through other means. When we heal our ancestral burdens, those wounds no longer pass down to our children and their children.

Our ancestral traumas and patterns can manifest as an infinite number of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual imbalances and limitations for us. Some examples of the effects of ancestral trauma that may be relatable or recognizable are abuse patterns, addiction, financial challenges, communication challenges, difficulty processing or expressing emotions, limiting gender roles and expectations, certain health conditions, inability to make different choices than parents or relatives, unexplained phobias, limiting beliefs, and a variety of other challenges. Each person is unique in the way that they are impacted by ancestral influences, and it is important to identify and address ancestral trauma and patterns on a case-by-case basis.
