You Belong
Reclaiming your place with your ancestors holds you securely within the web of relations. Loneliness and despair arise from interruptions to our fundamental need to belong. We are not isolated individuals but are known, even to ourselves, through relationship.
While recent family histories may be complicated or troubled, all of us are the grandchildren of ancient generations of wise and loving elders in spirit. The old ones offer us a sustenance and love so profound many of us have fallen asleep to how hungry we are for it. We become more sturdy, creative and available to life when we inhabit the goodness of our people and heritage.
You Matter
The great mystery of being is that you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t matter. The word matter is a derivative of the latin word māteria which comes from māter. It means mother, source, origin of things.
The creative spark of the universe has combined and recombined the matter, the DNA, in your blood lines over thousands of generations of grandparents. Out of infinite possibilities, life created you. You are a unique individual held in a matrix of familial resonance. There is no getting out of it. What if the very fact of your being means you have access to the gifts of your blood lines? What if inhabiting those gifts is your birthright? What if expressing them is your responsibility?
You Are Called.
The world needs your sacred contributions and care. With your ancestors at your back you recognize that happiness is intimately connected to service to things beyond yourself. This is purpose. Purpose feels good.
Purpose can be many things: being a generous neighbor, parenting mindfully, creating beautiful works of art. It is not always tidy, but it is deeply satisfying. Take up your rightful place as the living face of what is best and brightest in your lineages and meet the possibility of forgiveness and repair with harmful legacies. Your people beckon you to live your callings.
Live your life as an offering to your people. To the earth. To life itself.
Benefits of the work include:
Growth through grieving and forgiveness.
Healthy connection with your cultural heritage.
Support for cultural healing and repair.
Deepening connection with the earth and all beings.
Greater joy and confidence.
Healing relationships with family and friends.
Clarifying your gifts and purpose.
Transforming harmful intergenerational patterns and legacies.
Ancestral lineage healing is spiritual repair work. While it is not therapy, it is a wonderful adjunct to therapy and best serves those who are well-resourced psychologically. It is a powerful catalyst for deepening other spiritual practices and personal work.
