Ancestral Oaths, Vows, + the Unknown Stories We Carry

A few months ago, I sat in meditation, asking what the focus of my work should be throughout the Spring. I offered a few ideas, which were gently set aside. And then the word Ancestors sang through.

Ancestral work has always been woven through the healing and teachings I offer. It is so important, because the beliefs, characteristics, emotions, and lived experiences of our family lines are etched into our DNA, present in nearly every cell. Those who came before us have a very real foothold in our present.

One of the biggest surprises in working with genetics is how deeply we can be impacted by people whose names we don’t even know, whose stories were never told. And yet, somehow, we carry their unfinished business.

If an ancestor believed they failed…
If they broke a promise…
If they carried guilt for the choices they made…
We may find ourselves entangled in the after-effects, playing out the punishment, feeling the shame, struggling with invisible burdens.

Many of us come from lineages where potential was left unmet. Choices were made in impossible circumstances. And while we may consciously know that their story isn’t ours to live, we often don’t realise this at a subconscious level.

Deep within, we try to fix the story or save the day. We inherit oaths not made by us, we make unconscious vows to carry the burden, to redeem the line, to heal it all.

And so we feel punished, imprisoned, and caught in conflict. Not because we are broken, but because those patterns never reached resolution.

This is the beauty of Ancestral Healing -we get to see the cycles we’re caught in, and we get to step out of them.

To heal does not mean your ancestor is left with the pain again. It means that both of you, on different sides of the veil, understand why it happened, what it meant, and what can now be completed, with compassion.

When you release the unconscious promises and punishments, everything shifts - Money, relationships, work-life balance, increase in confidence, freedom, pride, joy. Everything gets to expand.

I am delighted to offer a series of events, April - June, delving into the intricacies of the family line, bringing old stories to light, so that they can complete. The first event will be held online tomorrow evening, where we will be finishing patterns and cycles that have moved through your family for generations. Expect to feel lighter, clearer, energetically clean.

We'll also hold 2 more online events in May and June, plus an in-person weekend event at the Solstice. I share this with you now because there are a few options to join in-

1. You can purchase the online events individually for £20 each

2. You can purchase all 3 for £48, saving 20%

3. OR, if you book your place for the weekend event, all 3 are included, to help you prepare!

Whether you join us or not, I want to leave you with a few prompts to ponder over the coming days, to help liberate you and your beautiful ancestors:

• What unhealthy pattern runs through my family that causes the most pain?
  (Relationship with authority? Money? Lack of confidence? Resistance to change?)

• What can I choose to do differently, while still loving and honouring my family?

• Do I feel punished, trapped, denied something?
  Could this feeling have begun with an ancestor?
  What needs to happen to end it?

• Which oaths, vows, or promises do I feel obligated to keep?
  What would help me to complete them, with grace?

Remember that some of the biggest obligations are invisible, whispering through our lives, directing us in subtle, strange ways. But once seen, they lose their power. And in that light, something new becomes possible.

You have the power to liberate yourself now. What will you choose?
