Ancestral Healing

You and I are alive today because of the resilience and love of our ancestors. We carry their looks; their eyes,, hands, stature and character; We carry their strength and their wisdom. We also carry their stories and their pain. Our ancestors lived incredible lives and went through incredible difficulties — often experiencing tragedy and heartache that they were not able to process. Some of our ancestors were affected by war, some may have been forced out of or left their homeland, and some suffered much in political turmoil of their times. Some of our ancestors were perpetrators of great harm, and some suffered personal abuse and/or extreme loss.

The unresolved or frozen pain of our ancestors manifests in the present as personal dis-ease as and collective trauma. The abuse and pain repeats in the behavior of people today because it has not been consciously seen and felt; it has not been integrated and so remains a frozen or split-off part inside of us.

Ancestral healing is a way in which, through attuned relationship, we can connect to our ancestors and be a conduit for un-freezing the energies and information that our ancestors had to push away because it was too overwhelming for them to process. This is a very somatic, intuitive process and by having the great courage it takes to do this work, we free ourselves from the effects of ancestral trauma, and we also free our ancestors and our children from the suffering of unrecognized collective trauma. This is critical work for these times!!

This process entails one-on-one sessions with Kinde that can be done in person or virtually. You may know about your family tree, or not. If you’re curious to check out who’s in your ancestral lineage, check out the resources online.

“Our denied, unprocessed, unintegrated past. In a deeper sense, a great deal of human suffering exists because of the denial of the past and an inability to acknowledge and integrate it. But when the decision is made to finally look at and feel the past, everything shifts. For example, if I or my ancestors have been suppressing grief, and this deep sadness is allowed to come forward so that I begin to authentically feel it, it will be painful, yes, and yet the more I allow its honest expression, I will almost certainly also experience a release. And if I continue to make this process a conscious practice, I have begun the work of healing integration.”
