You’re having the perfect day.
You took care of all the nagging chores and you’re ready to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. Even the weather seems to agree. But then, out of nowhere, heavy emotions press on your chest. It’s like a challenge that keeps bumping into you no matter how much you try to ignore it.
This feeling can manifest as waves of sadness, anxiety, or worry. Even though this is not your first rodeo, you still can’t point out the issue.
That’s the weight passed down by generations before you.
You may have heard of:
- Karmic debts – in Buddhism and Hinduism.
- Ancestral sins – in Christianity.
- Avon avot (Sins of the Fathers) – in Judaism.
- Athar al-dhunub (Effects of sins) – in Islam.
These are the unhealed and unaddressed energetic baggage from both your ancestors and past lives.
Left unattended, they will keep rolling over.
That’s because they are deep-rooted at a cellular (DNA) level.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Ancestral Baggage
We all carry past layers in this life.
From energetic and emotional imprints all the way to genetics, we bring a lot of information into the physical plane. This includes shame, fear, unspoken trauma, and all the “accidental” occurrences that take us by surprise.
They are all present until you balance them out.
The sad news is that they can shape your thinking…
Affect your mood…
And impact your decisions…
Moreover, your true self will never flourish if it’s blocked by these generational traumas. They hold you stuck in overthinking and fearful of the future. And who can blame you when you carry such a heavy load?
Fortunately, Reiki is here, and it can help.
There’s a reason you’re drawn to spiritual practices. It’s not by chance that you’re ready to look beyond the surface and explore outside the physical world. You have a calling, even though you can’t define it right now.
That’s why it’s essential to clear your path by dissolving these imbalances.
How To Use Reiki To Heal Ancestral Trauma
Ancestral trauma is nothing more than energy and information.
Energy healing has the potential to transmute it into pure light. This is how you release yourself from karmic chains that still tie you to your predecessors. But, remember that this runs deep, all the way to the cellular level (so it may take time).
Let’s see how Reiki can help address this matter directly:
1. Reiki Distance Healing
Channel universal energy to heal ancestral trauma.
- Activate your palms with Cho Ku Rei + Sei He Ki + Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen + Dai Ko Myo.
- Activate this sequence on your primary chakras.
- Repeat no more than 3 times per week for about 15-20 minutes.
This is a gradual process that shouldn’t be rushed.
Give it time to heal and balance out.
2. Reiki Self-Treatment
- Practice the Reiki self-treatment with the intention of healing the negative imprints from past lives all the way to the cellular level.
- Visualize your lineage (even if it’s not clear).
- Bring front all the conflicts, accept them, and send universal energy to all who suffer.
This is a rather subjective process.
So, don’t stress over the details.
3. Meditation
- Find a quiet moment and spend 20 minutes in solitude.
- Relax and enter a meditative state.
- Try to perceive any negative elements that belong to your past generations.
- These elements are usually attached to your inner-self, so that’s where you want to look first.
Once again, offer gratitude to your ancestors (regardless of their actions). Everything up to this point was meant to strengthen your spirit and make you a better person. Therefore, be grateful for what you have so you can step up on the spiritual ladder.
Healing Ancestral Trauma Is About Awareness
You shouldn’t blame what others did.
Instead, be thankful for the awareness you now have. This places you in a special point in time where you have the opportunity to balance things out. The process will benefit not only yourself and close ones, but also future generations.
You are a beacon for those who follow you.
