There are infinite ways to undertake ancestral healing. I chose to train with Ancestral Medicine after I experienced my ancestral healing journey with an incredible practitioner who utilized their structured method. I felt held within this ritually safe, culturally mindful container, and because of that, I was more willing and able to trust the ancestors that came into the container to support me.
This particular method, created by Dr. Daniel Foor, is based on four premises:
- Consciousness continues after death.
- Not all the dead are equally well.
- The living and the dead can communicate.
- The living and the dead can strongly affect one another.
(Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing, p. 22)
In this method, we focus on the four immediate ancestral lineages: your mothers mother (and all of the grandmothers before), your mothers father (and all of the grandfathers before), your fathers mother (and all of the grandmothers before), and your fathers father (and all of the grandfathers before). I gently guide you as you establish boundaries with ancestors who are not yet well, and then connect with wise and compassionate elders who support the healing of the lineage. This lineage healing can drastically improve the state of the un-well ancestors, who can then fully take their seats as elders and tend to their living children from a loving and healed state. Once a line has been healed, the blessings can flow more strongly through the lineage, through you, and your family. Personal, family, and cultural healing are possible with the support of our ancestors.
