I've always been interested in my ancestry and have spent time in the past digging into records, but I want to come at it from more of a spiritual angle as well. We often talk about ancestral energy/healing past trauma that isn't necessarily ours but that of our ancestors. Does anyone have any experience or advice here on where to begin? Are there any books or blogs specifically on the topic of healing the past? Recommendations?

I made a video a few years ago (you’ll notice I went by a different name. I’ve been going by Rebekah now for nearly 3 years). Please feel free to share this with anyone that has had any kind of shock in their body. Emotional or physical. It clears and resets the body really well. I was gifted this and so I am gifting it here. The hand positions are all written out below. https://youtu.be/RmkwAV4Znlk?si=qfvBwU-2Mp6-U2Sp This method is based on Sharon Giammataeo's work, Center IMT (Integrative Manual Therapies) Neurofascial Process is a tool useful in helping a persons body come back into balance. Similar to an energetic correction. Neurofacial Process is based on using the nervous system and the facial system to help the body process communication and rebalances. This protocol will help release excess shock from your system. You may not think you personally don't have any shock but over the years everyone has some level of energetic shock. Everybody benefits from using this protocol. Shock is a bit like an energetic field. You can be effected by someone else who is experiencing high levels of stress and "shock". This is important especially right now with all that is happening globally. Shock effects the immune system by suppressing its function. It also keeps us in "red alert". Perform this protocol daily for several days or in times of high stress and you should/will notice more calm and sense of peace, better sleep, less brain fog, sometimes more flexibility in your body, better digestion and elimination and a better sense of well being just to name a few. How to perform Neurofascial process: You will use your two hands or if you wish, a trusted family member can use their hands so you can relax as much as possible. Basically you will place your hands on the parts of the body indicated and hold for at least 1 minute up to 5 min. In this protocol there are 7 paired hand holds. Each hand hold will have two hands on two different sites on the body. If you notice heat that is a good thing. Stay a bit longer on those connections. Try to visualize it and image the tissue your hand is contacting.

@Aaron Doughty Huge huge thanks dear Aaron for guiding us through this so amazingly. Your guidance through this is your greatest so far. Such a gift. Bless you. I've just done this for the first time in my life tonight. I woke at 2am and did it in the dark. As it finished the birds are now singing as the dawn begins. Trusted you so much Aaron as the physical sensations and positions were quite scarey but I didn't feel any fear at all. Thank you for holding us with Divine protection through this and keeping us safe. 💎Physical sensations: Began with extreme body heat from about the 4th breath in. Really uncomfortable. Alot of tingling began all over the body, some stiffness, alot in the neck and legs. Almost paralysis. Upon invitation to make sounds Mouth fixed wide open (that was scarey, like a corpse). I was letting out alot of bad things placed upon me from my mother in law for 22 years. I was feeling it for myself, children and their father. It was paralysing. My whole body was stiff. It felt like an exorcism. (never experienced anything like that before) The tinglings are something I thought was an illness 3 years ago and Dr's couldnt diagnose or understand. I always thought it was my nervous system. In the ceremony it became quite scarey for me as it was more intense than I have ever felt. And all over the body. My neck and head were in a kind of paralysis and my lower legs. In feeling into these I let go of the fear around physical bodily illness and felt these were going to be released from me. All the physical sensations remained throughout the whole first half. 💎Insights: I know that one reason I am my children's mother is to heal them from ancestral patterns and I felt my pure energy carrying them in my body and this release now as a spiritual bond which heals them. I saw their ancestral past and their future in freedom from that. During the strong sensations I felt my Viking ancestors, one in particular a strong male warrior. All the physical sensations were strong and I felt like he was standing inside of me in that strength. I felt his courage and passion. He remained within my legs as the other sensations eventually eased because my lower legs stayed paralysed for a long time through to the end of the first half and into the second. It felt like his legs were standing me strong. And it resonated with someone telling me this week that my energy is sooooo loving and yet like a strong tower. This warriors energy felt like I recognised him as the Divine Masculine within me and its the first time I allowed him to come. This is quite significant as my energy is highly Feminine.

"Love me, love me alone. Love yourself in me, in me alone. Attach yourself to me, No one is more inward than I. Others love you for their own sakes, ...I love you for yourself. It is he who suffers his absence in me Who through me cries out to himself. Love's most strange, most holy mystery— We are intimate beyond belief." "Didn't I tell you not to go to that place? It is Me, Who is your intimate Friend. In this imaginary plain of non-existence, I am your spring of eternal life. Even if you lose yourself in wrath for a hundred thousand years, at the end you will discover, it is Me, Who is the culmination of your dreams. Didn't I tell you? They will accuse you of all the wrongdoings, they will call you ugly names, they will make you forget it is Me, Who is the source of your happiness.... Didn't I tell you? Wonder not, how your life will turn out, how you will ever get your world in order, it is Me, Who is your Omnipresent Creator. If your are a guiding torch of the heart,... " Mevlana Rumi

If spirituality could just be said The universe would not have been created If love consisted all of meaning and thought The form of your fasting and prayer would be naught The gifts that friends give to each other in love Are nothing but forms when compared to their love So that the gifts may offer testimony To feelings of love concealed in secrecy For acts of kindness bear witness outwardly O wise one, to the love that’s felt inwardly (Rifai/Holbrook, 2663-68)
