Ancestral Healing - What to Expect
This practice and process is not linear. Spirit leads, and every person is different. That said, it is nice to know how things might go. For sure, every session begins with a guided meditation so we can ground to the Earth, open to Spirit and ask for protection so that all experiences are for your best and highest self. Together we travel on a journey into a natural setting. We sense into the lineages and find ancestral guides (detail below). At the end of each session, we center in the present moment, ground ourselves, and spend a few moments debriefing. Kelly records the session so you can refer to it later.
Kelly facilitates this process using practices from her ancestral tradition which is Celtic. That said, the content is about you and will surface images and guidance specific to your own roots. Along the way, you will learn more about visualization, journeying and energetic work. Here is a typical progression:
Session 1
2. Guided meditation to drop into our center so that we can journey to the ancestral realm. We go to a natural setting and connect to its healing gifts. Nature is transformative, so we do our work in those settings. You will be guided to choose one ancestral line to work with and find an ancestral guide to help you in this work.
3. In the meditation, we ask your ancestral guide to release burdens in the line.
4. Somatic (body) practices to remove burdens from you.
5. Claim the gifts of that line, offer the gifts and healing to the generations that come after you, and listen for a ritual to do to honor these gifts and wisdom. Also listen for other ways to nurture relationship with the ancestor(s) who are there to support you.

Ongoing Sessions: Kelly can continue to companion you, integrate your experiences, call on your ancestors for help.
You may want to consider other services that compliment ancestral work: In all of these, you will learn more about visualization, journeying and energetic work.

Session 1
- A more detailed introduction to the process and an opportunity for your questions. If you are adopted and/or don’t have information about your family history, it's no problem. We sense into all the material energetically. In the Celtic tradition, fostering was an important part of society and culture. It was said that the biological line was the "blood line" and the adoptive or foster line was the "milk line". Both can be sensed.
