Ancestral Energies And Their Impact

In this talk, you'll learn how ancestral energies and influences may be impacting you in limiting ways. We'll discuss the different categories of ancestral influences and how they can prevent us from releasing old patterns that we may have spent a lot of time trying to heal. You'll learn about ancestral trauma, ancestral contracts, and ancestral beliefs that may be blocking upliftment and forward progress in your life, and we'll discuss how ancestral healing practices can help rapidly release challenging patterns for you.

Hello beautiful souls.

I'm Energy Intuitive and teacher Marie Blythe and I am so happy to have you here today.

In my work I use my intuitive gifts to bring insight,

Higher wisdom,

And healing to life challenges,

Changes,

And limitations that dedicated spiritual seekers and self healers like yourself might be experiencing.

And in the talks here I share some of the lessons that I've learned from my spirit guides over the years that have helped me on my own healing journey with the hope of helping you connect more deeply with your own inner truth.

So today I wanted to talk to you about a topic that you may have explored a little bit or you may not have thought about at all but it's something that's extremely important in terms of our healing and personal growth and this is ancestral healing.

So today we're going to be talking about what ancestral healing is,

Why it's so important,

And what this work can do to accelerate your spiritual growth,

Your personal growth,

And uplift your life in a lot of different ways.

So when we think about how we'd like to heal ourselves and make shifts,

Make positive shifts in our life,

We often reflect on things like our limiting beliefs,

Our different negative self-talk,

Past experiences that we've had that were traumatic or challenging,

And we work to kind of shift release and heal those different things in a variety of different ways.

But sometimes no matter how much work that we do in these different areas,

On our own life,

On our own past experiences,

There are just certain patterns that seem really stuck.

And sometimes this is because we've worked on them and there's just something that we're missing and sometimes it's because we don't really know that there's a different way,

That there's a limitation that we have that we can't even recognize because it's so embedded and so ingrained in our experience.

And these limitations,

The really sticky ones that we have a hard time overcoming and releasing,

Typically don't have roots in your physical life experience.

So that means that they have to come from somewhere else and often this somewhere else is through your ancestral lineage.

Meaning that these patterns,

These limitations that you have,

The places where you feel stuck or held back in life,

They often aren't your fault and have origins way back in the past with one of your biological ancestors.

Or it could come from a past life experience that you've had,

Meaning your own soul ancestors,

Your own past life experiences that come into this life with you that are still having an impact on you today.

When we come into life,

When we come into each incarnation,

We all have a template that we come in through that's a combination of the biological lineage that we incarnate into.

So your biological ancestors and relatives and our soul's experiences.

And this template that we come into is something that I call the ancestral blueprint.

And this ancestral blueprint is a template that informs our thoughts,

Our beliefs,

Our emotions,

Our life path.

And through each experience that we have,

Each new thing that we do in our life,

Each change that we make within ourselves,

This blueprint starts to shift and change.

And it changes with each and every moment that we live our lives.

And it informs every single moment that we experience.

So I'd like you to think of it in this way.

If you're looking to create a positive,

Uplifting,

Fulfilling future for yourself,

The only way that we can do that is by making new choices,

Taking different actions,

And making changes in our present moment.

But the present moment is informed by everything that came before us.

Everything from our past,

From our own past,

From our own physical life experience,

To the past of our ancestors,

Our biological ancestors,

And into the past of our own soul's experiences.

All of that informs our present moment.

But we don't necessarily have to be a victim of our past.

By doing conscious work on ourselves and on the ancestral patterns that we have,

That we've inherited through our lineage,

We can start to make really rapid,

Significant changes in our present moment that then uplift our future.

And so that's why it's so important to look at our past,

To look at how we're informed by the beliefs of our ancestors,

By the different values that they held,

By their intentions for us.

This is such an important aspect to healing that we often miss.

So how are we informed by our ancestral lineage?

What different things could be impacting us?

Well,

There are a few different categories of energies that we're influenced by that come through our ancestral lineage.

The first of these is ancestral trauma.

And ancestral trauma are traumatic experiences that our ancestors had that they were not able to heal for themselves.

And the energy of that then gets passed down through the lineage.

And then ancestors of that individual then carry that trauma.

And then patterns that reflect that traumatic experience are repeated in the lives of future ancestors.

And so you may be having patterns that repeat in your life or your own personal traumatic experiences.

That are a reflection of ancestral trauma that came into your being,

Into your experience when you came into this life through your biological lineage.

And so doing the work to clear that ancestral trauma and release that can have a massive,

Significant,

Positive impact on your life moving forward.

Because then you're no longer attracting experiences through the lens of ancestral trauma.

The next thing that we could be carrying are intentions,

Limiting intentions that our ancestors had.

Now whenever we set an intention,

Intention is what moves and directs energy.

And it can create things energetically as well.

There are all kinds of different limiting intentions that people can have for us and for themselves.

And these can come in the form of ancestral contracts that we might have.

So different agreements that we might have had to agree to in order to incarnate into the lineage.

Different agreements that you might have made with parents or other relatives and that sort of thing that seemed beneficial at the time or may have been beneficial for a period of time.

But may no longer be beneficial for you.

So an example of this might be that maybe there's a family business and there's an agreement that your parents will pay for you to go to college if you then go work in the family business when you're done.

So this seems like a good deal.

This seems like a good agreement to get into.

But if your soul path and your life path and what will be uplifting and fulfilling for you is not to work in the family business and to do something else,

Then getting into this agreement can create a lot of hardship and challenge and even trauma for you as you try to navigate your way through that and even out of that situation.

We can also have ancestral contracts and agreements.

So perhaps there's an ancestral agreement in the lineage that everyone has to live in the ancestral homeland or the place where your ancestors lived.

And this might have been a protective measure hundreds or even thousands of years ago to where if the family stays together and all of the ancestors are in a unit,

Then it's protective.

It helps the family grow and contribute and learn from one another and share with one another.

But our world is very different today than it was hundreds or thousands of years ago.

And if you're wanting to maybe move away to start a new life somewhere and find it difficult to do so or find that there are blocks in your way,

It could be that there are ancestral contracts preventing you from taking those steps forward that would benefit you.

So these are some examples of how ancestral intention and ancestral agreements can shape the path of your life until you free yourself from those contracts and agreements.

Third category of energies that can impact us from our ancestral lineage are different limiting beliefs that our ancestors had.

These limiting beliefs could be passed down to us through teachings and they generally come as a result of trauma.

So let's say for example you had an ancestor that lived through the Great Depression.

Perhaps they developed limiting beliefs that it's important to save everything and to save up for a rainy day or to keep everything that you have no matter how old it is or how broken it is.

And if you come across a good deal to get that thing and keep it.

But in future generations where there's no longer a Great Depression,

There's no longer a lack of resources in the same way,

You may find yourself or other relatives hoarding things,

Holding on to money for a rainy day.

Even though these different things that they're holding on to are actually limiting them by taking up a lot of space,

By making it difficult to move or change spaces,

Change homes because there's so much stuff that's laying around.

Or that there could be a risk that needs to be taken.

Maybe you need to move,

Maybe you need to change jobs,

Maybe it would be important to take a trip somewhere.

But you don't take this trip because it's more important to save the money.

But it could be that that trip or that job change or moving somewhere different could open your life up in really beautiful ways.

But it's this limiting belief that's been passed down through your ancestral lineage that makes it really difficult to overcome that block or overcome that limitation that's no longer relevant in this timing.

So these are the ways that ancestral energies can start to influence our life experiences.

And if you've gotten to the point in your life where you've done a lot of healing,

You've done a lot of work on yourself,

And there are just patterns that seem to be stuck.

That really,

No matter how much work you do on it,

They just keep persisting.

This is an indication that you need to go further back.

That you need to start looking into your ancestral lineage and look into doing some ancestral healing work and releasing those energies in order to move forward in more positive ways.

And once you really get into this work for yourself,

Things really start to expand because we can release a lot of energy when we dive into what's been collected generation after generation after generation,

Which is a lot more than what we've just experienced in this one lifetime.

So what are ways that you can start to identify some of these ancestral patterns in your own life?

Well,

You can start by asking yourself about some of the challenges that you notice persisting in your life or places in your life where you feel limited in different ways.

And then you can expand your vision and start to look at how these same patterns or limitations might be showing up in the biological relatives that you're connected to,

If you still have a connection to them.

If you don't,

Then you can just start looking at those patterns and start to identify the areas where you feel as if you can't identify the origin of it.

That this is something you've had your whole life,

And you can't really identify why you've had this pattern or why something keeps showing up for you.

If it's difficult to identify the origin of a pattern for you,

And you don't really feel like you can relate to it very well,

It's possible that it originated with someone in your lineage.

And the best thing that you can do to start is to begin identifying these different patterns to identify it as,

Oh,

This is something ancestral,

This didn't start with me,

But I can change it.

This is something that I can shift once I'm able to identify the fact that it didn't start with me.

Once you identify the limiting pattern for yourself,

It's really important to craft how you want this pattern to shift for yourself.

What's the most aligned way that you can move forward if this block weren't in place?

How would you like to experience your life?

How would you like to believe that things are or that they work?

Or what would you like to believe about yourself?

If all the limitations were removed from your life,

What would you like your life to look like?

Once we create a solid intention for how we want to change things,

Then we can start doing the work of releasing and setting the intention for making those changes.

But we have to know where we want to head,

And we have to identify a pattern that we want to shift.

If this is something that's resonating with you and you're having some aha moments of,

Oh wow,

I think these patterns that I've struggled with might be ancestral in nature,

I really encourage you to start looking into ancestral healing work and getting support through working through generational traumas and different patterns that you notice in your lineage,

Because this can really help free you and help you move forward in positive ways.

Enlightening, and timely for me. Thank you 🙏

Wow
That was informative and freeing

Brilliant insight! This is a challenge for me due to the absence of family but I'm very intrigued to learn more. Thank you! 🙏🏽✨🙏🏽

“What do you want your life to look like?” - that question immediately triggered a memory:
my grandfather was an extremely depressed man, an extremely abusive man, and an extremely pessimistic man. My mom tried ways to invite him to think differently. She really wanted him to enjoy his elder days. She created a handmade journal for him to write about “how he wanted his life to look like”. Apparently, he put the journal on the shelf and never touched it. Years later, as I am helping him move out of his house and into my mom’s house, that journal was unearthed. When I asked him what it was and if he wanted to keep it, he literally said, “oh that’s your mother’s book.’ He had so rejected the idea that he could decide what his life looked liked, that he didn’t even claim ownership of the book his own daughter crafted for him by hand. He did not believe he had a choice in how his life looked.
He literally said “what’s the point of describing what you want your life to look like? It doesn’t matter what you want it to look like, because THIS is how it has to be.’

Something similar happened the first year I moved state to be closer to family. It was Christmas Eve, and we were doing our family tradition of watching A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott, Roger Rees, Savannah York. David Warner, you know the one…anyways, we watch it every year, and it’s like, he doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get that the story is about him. So after the film is over, I can see, once again, that my grandfather is moping around. I say, “donot worry, things are getting better.”
He turns and looks at me and says, “well, maybe for YOU it is…”. And this man had no idea why no one wanted to be around him.

He has forced his whole family to live like him. He couldn’t stand to witness anyone having more fun than he was having; he dissociated into a monster, trying to tear everyone to shreds for creating their own joy. He was jealous of their power, he couldn’t stand that they could do for themselves what he couldn’t do for himself.

So he hobbled us emotionally. He hobbled us spiritually. He made sure we were all in an electrified fence that he had access to whenever he needed us; and the psychological manipulation/domestication of us was so thorough, that by the time we had a choice to go out on our own, we were terrified of not spending every waking moment catering to his every whim.

I’m trying not to hate his guts for what he did to us.
I’m trying to forgive him and understand that he was traumatized too. But it is hard. It is difficult to see him, at this point, as anything but a vacuous, willfully-ignorant villain.

I will listen to this talk again. Thank you for sharing with us.

This is a concept that I'm looking forward to exploring more, as I'm not familiar with it.
