Breaking Bloodline Curses

Here's why it’s important to break bloodline curses and how to heal and clear ancestral trauma.

In this current lifetime, many of us are being called to Ancestral Healing.

It is one of the most important and beneficial jobs we have in this incarnation. This calling emerges as dawning realisations of patterns and themes that have been playing out for eons in the history of our bloodline, ways of being, and doing that have gone before, previously unnoticed, unconscious and insidious, stitched so firmly into the fabric of our lineages they seem to belong to us.

The need for clearing and healing on behalf of our ancestors emerges from growing self-realisation and revelation. As we begin to know more deeply who we truly are, through mediation, mindfulness and other spiritual practices, a light is shone on everything we are not, and we form a deep commitment to changing the patterns that have gone before, the karmic cycles and bloodline curses that have until now, gone unchallenged.

It is about saying, I am sick and tired of being fearful/suspicious/envious/in a state of lack/or whatever the program is that you have identified and making the necessary evolutionary changes, once and for all.

Once a pattern has been identified, brought to conscious awareness, cleared and healed, the curse of it, the spell your ancestors were under, is finally broken. There is no going back to the way things have always been done in your family. You break the curse not only for you and your lineage, but for your children and your children’s children. It’s gone for good.

To heal the ancestral line is to change the world. It is revolutionary and evolutionary. By doing so, you are rejecting beliefs, values, behaviours, and norms of communities and cultures that have been ingrained for millennia. You evolve your wider culture and yourself.

Your ancestors are easy to tap into, as they exist within you. Their stories, their traumas, their life lessons, and stubborn old ways of doing things, generation after generation, lifetime after lifetime, have been your own up until this point. All of the old karma reaches back for centuries, contained within your DNA. All your ancestor’s distortions and misidentifications and old, old, outdated, worn out programming, are within you, and have, up until this point, been playing out unconsciously in your life, reinforcing the old ways.

Ancestral healing has never been more important, because the old ways no longer work, on both individual and cultural levels. We’ve brought ourselves to the brink of catastrophe as a species and something has to give.

We can change the world from within. We are the ones we have been waiting for, here to build a New Earth, and to do so effectively we must allow all the old paradigms to fall away, the old structures to crumble, all the conditioning and brainwashing our ancestors accepted without question.

All must be allowed to fall away. We can and must unburden ourselves of the past. Not that it has nothing left to teach us, it’s about seeing it in a new light, casting the light of our new, awakened awareness upon it, casting it far, far down into the deepest shadows and recesses of our dark, dark and horrible histories.

It's about pulling skeletons from closets and giving them a proper and sacred burial.

Maybe the theme of scarcity and lack was always present in your family. You grew up hearing your grandma saying such things as, “We can’t afford that.” “We have to tighten our belts.” “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “It’s alright for some.”

She picked that up from her mother, who picked it up from her mother who also accepted it as truth without question. The attitude of lack most likely goes back eons.

Perhaps there are themes of abuse, of violence deeply ingrained in paternal lines, caused by the trauma of war, deep mistrust of, or unquestioning obedience to authority figures, religious brainwashing, sexual trauma, the list is seemingly endless.

If so, forgiveness is key. Decide to forgive your ancestors whilst shaking off any shame and guilt. Remember them with compassion and understanding. Light a candle to honour them and call in their spirits. Whisper lovingly to them, “Of course you felt like that/behaved in that way. It was the way of the world back then. There was a sickness in society that went unnoticed. It was normalised back then, but it no longer needs to be this way. You didn’t know any better but we do now. You weren’t very well and nobody knew any better at that time. Nobody is perfect. We all do the best that we can, play this game of life the best we can."

“Things are different now, and I choose something different, something better. I choose abundance/peace/harmony/sovereignty, et cetera.”

Take appropriate action to let the universe know you mean business.

This might take the form of a little ceremony or ritual. It might take the form of making an altar to honour your ancestors.

For instance, if you know there has been starvation in your family and you have felt the gnawing hole in you that comes from this type of emptiness, you might leave an offering of food on an ancestorial altar.

If you know there has been violence, you could leave an offering of peace lilies, or design a crystal grid for peace. You could write a letter to an ancestor and then burn it ritually. Do whatever feels right to you.

All of this is very powerful and transformative work on it’s own, but if you’d like to go deeper with ancestorial healing and don’t want to go it alone, I can guide you in journeys to meet with the spirits of your ancestors or help you with your ceremonial work.
