Ancestral Healing Practices - 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 messages are for your best and highest self. Together we travel on a mindfulness journey to sense into the lineages and find ancestral guides (detail below). Some like to call this shamanic journeying. At the end of each session, we center in the present moment for a short debrief. Kelly can record the session so you can refer to it later.
Kelly facilitates this process using practices from her ancestral tradition which is Celtic, not practices borrowed or appropriated from traditions other than her own. That said, the content is about you and will surface images and guidance specific to your own roots.
Here is a typical progression of the four sessions:
Session 1: One hour
2. Guided meditation 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.
Session 2: One hour
Session 3: One hour
Session 4: 90 Minutes
When this beautiful work finishes, Kelly can continue to companion you spiritually.
