Often, there is something holding us back on our male or female line. Ancestral work is partly tracking the root of the block, which could be up to seven generations back. These roots are usually patterns of behaviour, bad habits and addiction – they could also point to a family situation which needs to be resolved and therefore gets repeated until it’s brought for healing. The main thing to remember about having or holding this pattern is that it isn’t your fault. The very fact that you’re aware of it could mean that it’s you who are the catalyst for change and healing within your family and take heart that the work you do around these issues will affect your own children and /or seven generations into the future.

Ancestral work is rewarding and you can usually feel a huge sense of relief and an unburdening when you work on these issues. If things remain unresolved then they may sometimes also come up in the realms of relationship.
