Since you invited us to start connecting with our ancestors, I've felt supported in a way that I haven't felt in a long time. The idea that "we are the ancestors we've been waiting for," empowers us as women of color to always be women of action. And this also tells me that I trust my experience and wisdom, connected with those who came before me, more than ever before. Thank you, sister.

[@jonnavalley5471]

Nice video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you thought about - Penichael Esteemed Preeminence (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off guide for making contact with your own spirit guide without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend Sam after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.

[@mangoyacho]

Well said. Thank you.

[@simonechriselle232]

I want now if I want talk to my ancestors what masters I do course I love them what mast I you us

[@simonechriselle232]

OK.i want now my.ancester.they here me

[@kumorable]

I found this video after mediating and receiving messages from my ancestors. I don’t know why but I cried at the end… thank you for your interpretation and am receiving ❤

[@selisashlomeet2852]

I so resonate with this message! It is so important, for people of color especially, to reconnect with their Ancestors. For a lot of us, today's religions don't support, or actually shun any reverence to the ancestors. We are our ancestors Wildest Dreams - so it makes sense that we call on this "spiritual counsel" for support. Thank you June, for encouraging us and supporting us in this most Divine process. 🙏🏾

[@michaellozano4578]

Yeah, I totally resonant with the "border culture" identity topics brought up here... Always striving to reconnect with our past but afraid of being labeled a fraud, heck, from people on both sides of our Chicano (Mexican-American) cultures.

[@supune]

I was happy to find this. I like the presence she's cultivating. That "what would I do or say as a future ancestor" thought was wonderfully simple and instructive for me as I feel kinda rootless myself

[@uthararamesh1841]

The idea of connecting with our ancestors, continuing the work of our ancestors through our healing and then BECOMING our future ancestor is so empowering, especially as a woman of color. And it’s a beautiful reminder that our work doesn’t happen in the vacuum of this lifetime... it’s continuous and carries forward beyond us ❤️

[@t.suzuki2768]

The shift I experienced during and after heeding/beholding/reflecting this share by Jumakae has been resonating and reverberating through me and out into the world for the past few days. I am beyond grateful for this transcendental message that was so timely and yet so long overdue. I am so excited to share this with my friends and family. Thank you Jumakae for sharing your story medicine. The healing power of your gifts re-generates and expands throughout.

[@musiccreators6683]

Y'all need to see lion king (cartoon version) theres the scene when Simba sees Mufasa in the clouds thats when he reconnects with his anscestors. The beauty of that whole movie is insane. And you cant beat the classics

[@darshanialovesu]

That's right June! Jumakae I love how you use your voice!!! I have been witness to your blossoming lotus and this world is so blessed to have you

[@cindyluquin6016]

This talk is 🔥! So many of us will get the healing from your talk. Thank you for doing the work for so many of us. Thank you for your bravery, resilience and boldness. You are needed in this world.

[@camarajordan1143]

Excellent and Spirit felt. We are one as children of ancient, powerful ancestors. We must recognize this and act accordingly.

[@thaooaishathasati6940]

Such a wonderful talk on a subject we all need to hear!! So proud of you June!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@marbelz.p6018]

Great Video! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Penichael Esteemed Preeminence (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one of a kind guide for making contact with your own spirit guide minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got astronomical success with it.

[@MsRecoveryroom]

June! So proud of you...this talk resonated with me deeply.

[@itstylerduhh]

June, you're amazing! Thank you for sharing your voice with us!

[@coffeewithhunny]

Amazing job June!!!! I can't wait to see more of your work and watch and you continue to grow and to push us all forward!

[@chiefskillzpodcast]

I love the honesty in this. Beautiful with passion and grace.

[@_hunnybe]

Beautiful speech June! Thank you for sharing YOUR story medicine 🙏🏻

[@Vincenzo-wn1or]

All the ancestral memory is encoded in your DNA .. that's where your ancestral home is

[@paulameninato8948]

June your talk is amazing! I'm so exited to see where things go for you in your career

I’m Native American and I connect to my indigenous roots and bring that into my Clinical Herbalism practice.

[@zahrashohadaee214]

Aho sweet sister!!! Thank you for this beautiful expression & new way of connection to our ancestors not only of blood & especially of soul!! It’s funny to think of ourselves as ancestors bc we are here now but so sweet to have the perspective to honor ourselves too as such ✨✨✨✨ Love you dearly !!! Bless you in all ways always ❤️

[@Foltronics]

our ancestors stand behind us i feel ,we hold the torch for them in our lives. they help us but have to be invited . They wont just step in.

[@KatinaLifeCoach4444]

[@malva6176]

I’ve been thinking about doing the ancestors DNA test, is also believe that many of us have some what of native in us.

[@kobiecamp1134]

Take that test if you haven't already done it.

[@teal_livinglifeincolor2115]

Do you mind sharing who you studied plant medicine and womb healing with in Thailand?

what a woman

[@adithyaravieendran3751]

Silence is ramanmaharshi

[@yoitsq537]

I always felt like someone like me was trying to give me wisdom. Im not religious or spiritual.

[@kobiecamp1134]

I came here because of a dream I had, or because that spiritual world talked to me in my sleep. In which a voice told me to pray to my ancestors in Africa. But I was raised as a Christian even though I don't consider myself to be one. And according to Christianity I'm not suppose to pray to other God like things. So I've been looking for guidance which is why I'm here. But this woman really doesn't give you direct instructions on how to connect with your ancestors.

[@CyberRabid.]

My ancestors don't like me. Can I connect with someone else?

[@claudettev.skelton8326]

A-Hoo

[@waterbottle6449]

My ancestors are dead how can i connect with them?????????????? This is so confusing

[@consueloreedy9009]

Ghana enslaved people and they apologized this is why they offered this and these are facts and Ghana is not the only country who did

[@parkerbarefoot4255]

Those aren't your ancestors, truly sorry to say. Bible mentions it as familiar spirits. There's many good reasons to believe Bible is true. Could be fallen angel or demons. They are wise, cunning, and know lots of stuff and we don't know exactly, how. I say this with love. Please test the spirit. Test for yourself, speak in holy name of Jesus Christ.

[@IAM_THAT_IAM888]

The only question I have for you is WHO taught you that ? As a free thinker I always question the source my scources are solid and undeniable there is a huge difference between KNOWING and BELIEVING.. have a good day 🙂

[@consueloreedy9009]

@@IAM_THAT_IAM888 my question do you believe in dead people talking to people. What I get from this talk is learning old traditions

[@parkerbarefoot4255]

@@commandantemarcos9592 Yes. That's what the bible says. It's only wise to listen to God

[@phenomenonto328]

Thank you for this comment 🙏🏾❤️ and you mentioned it so gracefully

[@gardenjhr]

@@parkerbarefoot4255so you evidence for the truth of the bible, is the bible… As a christian, the events of the bible are not true as we have proof that Noah’s arc didn’t happen. We know this because there are trees older than the events of the flood.
