Opening to Your Ancestral Heart!

You are an expression of your ancestral heart! Your entire body is made up of the genetics and DNA of all your ancestors that lived long before you were born. In fact, it is your ancestors that dreamed you into existence.

Have you or someone else ever said, we must preserve our future world for our children, grandchildren and great children? Do you ever ponder and wonder what our world will look like for our future generations? Do you wonder about what our earth will look like 100 years from now? Do you feel called to help future generations live in a better place?

As a spiritual medium, and psychic who walks between worlds with two feet standing on the earth and spiritually connected to the spirit world, I know that your loved ones wish for love and healing. Your loved ones may not have expressed that when they were alive as a family member, but once they are bathed in the love on the other side, they wish to share that love and begin the process of healing the family.

Ancestors, according to Webster’s dictionary are those maternal and paternal family members that are older, go further back than your grandparents. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ancestor. When I use the word ancient ancestors, this would be those with whom you share DNA that go back 100’s and 1,000’s of years. In fact, one study showed that if you are married to someone, and you both could go back 20 generations, it is highly likely that the two of you are related. Even more so, If you go back far enough, you find we are all related to each other regardless of culture, religion, or color of our skin. We all share a common ancestor that originated in Africa.

Your ancestral heart, is that part of your heart chakra, that you share with your ancestors. Your maternal line has a unique expression of love that is passed down through all the generations before it arrives to you. You are not meant to hold it back, block it or reject it. It is meant to infuse your heart with its special love recipe, flooding your body and bones, to know you are loved, adored and called to allow the love to flow through you to all the future generations. Your paternal line also has a separate unique expression of love that is passed down through all the generations before it arrives to you. You are not meant to hold back this paternal love either. This love that has traveled all along your paternal grandparents is meant to flood your heart, body and bones with their love to support you in all the ways your ancestors call you forward to do. Your paternal love wishes to flow through you to uplift all future generations. You and your ancestors together are dreaming your future generations into reality.

In my more recent blog; Do you Guard your Heart? https://www.intuitivemind.org/2021/02/do-you-guard-your-heart/.

I mention your dynamic heart chakra has 3 main layers, and each layer has 4 gates to enter that layer, adding up to 12 gates. The inner most layer, is your relationship with God, the second is your relationship with your own spirit and the third layer is your relationship with others such as family, friends, co-workers, and lovers. If your heart is blocked on any layer, it can also block you from opening to your ancestral heart, and its ability to flow love through your heart chakra towards the future.

Your ancestors before you took great risk, suffered, and played it safe for the pure potential of survival of your ancestral family. Again, I mention how old wounds can trigger you to play it safe, not rock the boat, not take risks. Your ancestors were the same way. Yet now in the spirit world, they live in the frequency of love and know that love, all levels of love, is what will truly heal you, your family and the larger global community.

My ancestors sat with me as I pondered this topic and concept of an ancestral heart. What exactly does that mean I wondered? Here is what my ancestors shared with me;

Your ancestors have sacrificed greatly so that you could have life, a full and vibrant life! You are given the high gift of life from your mother and your father. Your ancestors have carried their dream for you forward so that you too would take up this calling to move this love and healing into future generations. Carrying forward the wisdom, knowledge, and love that you and every living thing embodies in their own bones.

The ancestors continued, In the quest to survive many ancestors who lived before, hurt or harmed others to make sure that your entire lineage survived so that you could be born. However misguided the tactics may have been.

This message, like a soothing elixir, infused my consciousness. I could see where in my own life, I can be a potent mother bear when it comes to protecting my children and grandchildren. Hey, lets be really honest and admit that even if I feel my friends that I love dearly were threatened, I would do what was needed to protect them. Your ancestors had to make the same hard choices at times, for your survival. Yet, I was struck by the fact that in our distant history, our ancestors were also guilty of hurting and harming others because of perceived threats. Even in this year of 2021 we are witness to groups of people fighting for survival triggered by limiting thought patterns. Religions who feel threatened by other religions, cultures feeling threatened by other cultures, people feeling threatened by other humans of color, or sexual orientation. Currently, there are those who feel their survival threatened if someone is not wearing a mask during a global pandemic, and yes, have been killed because of the fear of this survival threat. So you can begin to see historically how your ancestors may have hurt or harmed others out of authentic fears or irrational fears.

The ancestors closing message was this;

We come through you to right wrongs for a stabilized future for mother earth and all beings who live here.

Are you ready to awaken to your ancestors wisdom and knowledge? There are multiple indigenous cultures that share their knowledge of ways to honor and respect your ancestors. They all have a shared practice of being in service to mother earth as a way of respecting their ancestors. They also share a high knowledge of the star people as being their ancestors. I personally answered the call of my own ancestors, training in the South African Sangoma tradition for 3 years, at times living for months with my own teacher. I currently am taking a break for a year, from bones divination ancestral readings. However, my Sangoma Sister Kathy Bales, trained in the same South African lineage and she is currently taking new clients, offering Divining ancestral messages by “Throwing the Bones”. Kathy Bales, is doing these sessions at a distance until we can socialize again. Her website is; https://www.kathybales.net/

I also have recommended this site to many who wish to deepen their ancestral practice, through the book and teachings of Daniel Foor. The link is here. https://ancestralmedicine.org/

Simply lighting a candle, offering a glass of water, and asking that your ancient ancestors come into the room with you is an easy tip that is available to everyone. My ancestors remind me often, they do not require all the bells and whistles for them to want to be in service to you. They are already there and your attention, acknowledgement, and love is all you need to delight them beyond your imagination. Calling in your maternal line, by speaking your mothers maiden name, calling in your paternal line by saying your fathers sir name, fine tunes the frequency and path to welcome them to your life.

Now what are the aspects of our heart chakra that can be enhanced by our ancestors? I was shown by the ancestors, the soft tissue areas to the left and the right of your breast bone before you reach your shoulder. Your heart chakra is the largest magnetic force in your dynamic human energy field. These chakra on either side of your heart chakra are slightly smaller, maybe 4 inches in diameter. Each of these two chakras bring through ancestral love.

6 Energy Tips to Opening to Your Ancestral heart!

1. Create a quiet place to sit, lighting a candle, and offering the greatest gift to your ancestors, a glass of water. Remember, water IS life!
2. Set your intention to AWAKEN to the ANCIENT WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE of your ancestors.
3. Speak the names of your maternal and paternal ancestors by stating their maiden names and sir names. If you are blessed with knowing more than one generation of ancestors, then read out as many names as you feel called to, inviting them into the room with you.
4. Be willing to Open to your own ancestral heart. Do this by imagining your heart is a doorway that you can open to allow more light in. Your ancestors will infuse their love through the back of your heart chakra so make sure to open your heart in the back between your shoulder blades as well. Be gentle to only open to the level you are comfortable with. Old wounds can be over illuminated causing you to be triggered so go easy with yourself.
5. Allow the special recipe of love that is significant to your maternal line to flow through all the generations to you, through your own heart chakra and out the front infusing this maternal love towards uplifting the future generations. Repeat this with your paternal line. Use your intuitive senses to know what each love frequency feels like to you that you are sharing forward. Allow your own heart to be bathed in the love of your ancestors.
6. Journal your experience and be willing to sit with your ancestors at least once a week or month. Let your ancestors show you just how much you are truly loved and adored by them.

Whether you have created your own children for the future or not, you are still the grandmothers, grandfathers, aunties and uncles for future generations. The ancestors call us to right the wrongs on the earth to stabilize the future of mother earth and all who live here.
