The Power of Ancestral Healing

[@SpiritMattersCanada]

After 30 years working with indigenous wisdom keepers from many traditions, including my own, I found this presentation too focused on digital rather than natural metaphors. Sit us round the fire. Let us 'see' our ancestors fanning out behind us like a peacock's tail. Honout them for the life they give you. Ask for their support. Invoking their support, opens up those parts of ourselves most deeply in tune with our ancestors. Almost all indigenous ceremonies begin with calling on the flow of creative life and our ancestors gathered together round this fire in this moment.

What if this talk evokes the fire in some of us? What if the language reaches the ones who became deaf to the voices of our beautiful ancestors? What if one more person starts a fire right now and makes others sit around it... Let's do it, let's honour the tribe, let's honour the mystic in everyone of us. Let us free each other and let her flow again❤️🔥✨🦚🫂

@@growthbuddyrocks . Hi. I haven't yet watched the presentation, but was charmed by your inclusive response. There are so many divergent paths toward deeper understanding - and the openness of your response honours that. May innumerable fires fire us, as we wander into the future! Best wishes from South Africa

Rezo 🙏 para que este curso esté disponible también para la comunidad de habla hispana. Me han comunicado que en esta oportunidad no es posible. Gracias por compartir este encuentro, lo pude ver subtitulado al español, es un regalo y una bendición. Gracias Thomas y equipo 💞💞💞

Thank you, and I wonder if the process invites a direct connection with the ancestors, in a more animistic, relational and inclusive way? As embodied Humans, I doubt we have the power to heal on our own and by assuming so, are we not reinforcing the individualistic mentality we are trying to break here? Many traditional cultures around the world are clear that the ancestors do not only exist within us but are all around us. To suggest that they are only present through our integrated history dismisses the possibility of a relationship with them. Is it possible to truly work on ancestral healing without including our ancestors? Without including the natural forces around us and the Earth itself? This Earth on which our human and more-than-human ancestors were once attuned to its rhythm, its cycles, and with which they moved, danced and sang. Is it not a form of colonialism to assume what they want without going to ask them?
