Ancestral Healing is a process of healing unresolved trauma passed down through the generations by our ancestors.
Epigenetics
Trauma can be passed down through DNA. Trauma is encoded cellularly but must be “activated” within each individual. Once ancestral patterns are activated they can still be “switched off” . Mind-body treatment methods are most effective when working with trauma.
With the expanding view of mind-body therapies over the past decade or two, a number of therapeutic tools have come to light that appear to serve as methods for decoding, or perceptually reframing, traumatically encoded cellular memory patterns. Various types of meditation, guided imagery, hypothesis and other mind-body techniques are showing tremendous promise in helping individuals create effective coping mechanisms relative to perceived, or actual, traumatic memories. By reestablishing the ability to cope with the traumatic memories, the conditioned reflex mechanisms apparently become decoded at the cellular level thus discharging the stimulus generalization effect on cellular function. How this actually occurs is not completely understood, but it is theorized that reviewing the various circumstances of a traumatic event during hypnosis, meditation etc. may reactivate the stress-released hormonal substances that originally encoded that event at the cellular level.
Traditional Healing
“In our traditional ways of being we had cultural practices that brought us together to heal our wounds of the past and present,” James said. “Even when I was kid growing up we would come together and share stories of our family, our community, and our tribe telling our history and so forth. Everyone had their role in the community, grandmas and grandpas, aunties and uncles. We shared common family/community beliefs, values and experiences. You were learning your relationship to all things and your place in the world.”
