Let's Learn About Ancestors

What Are Ancestors?

Ancestors are those who went before us. They might be those in our bloodline or those who walked a similar path to us. It is important to recognize patterns of abuse and differentiate between those ancestors who perpetuated cycles of harm and those who are protective and benevolent and committed to breaking the same generational junk we're working to heal from.

Why Do Ancestors Matter?

Our ancestors are a part of us, whether we realize it or not. From a mundane perspective, there is something incredibly therapeutic about connecting with our heritage and lineage. The same is true in a spiritual sense. Honoring and working with the energy of the protective ancestors who came before us can aid us in healing for ourselves and future generations.

How Can I Connect With My Ancestors?

Start by learning everything you can about your family, where you came from, what they believed, how they lived, and more. As you find what resonates with you and aligns with your path, you can honor your protective ancestors by dedicating healing rituals to them, remembering them on days of significance, such as birthdays, and more.
