    About this ebook

    A practical guide to shamanic ancestor work, inspired by Huna and supported by guided rituals and exercises

    • Explains how to heal traumatic experiences and old blockages that are stored in the memory of your lineage

    • Includes Hawaiian teachings about spiritual and genetic ancestors and reveals how to bond with your spirit family, your Aumakua

    • Shows how unlocking the support of your ancestors enables you to shine your light fully

    Knowing your ancestral lineage is not only a matter of curiosity, your life path will unfold with much more ease if you are aware and in harmony with your origins. Exploring the heritage of your bloodline as well as the energy of your spiritual family, which we are often less aware of, opens you up to enormous potential for healing and self-development.

    This practical guide explains, in a clear and straightforward way, how the energy field of our ancestors influences our personal lives and how we can draw from their strength as well as liberate ourselves from burdens that have been carried over generations. It helps us to lift the veil of forgetting and allow ourselves to fully shine our light, supported by the souls that came before us, by making peace with past hurts and traumas. Drawing on the Huna Hawaiian shamanic tradition as well as other shamanic and energetic practices, the authors show how to connect with our Aumakua, our ancestors and higher self, which includes our close relatives, ancestors stretching back thousands of years, and our spiritual ancestors or karmic family. The authors offer practices to reconcile with our parents and spiritual family, uncover suppressed matters and family secrets, clear and charge our personal energy field and our family energy field, and awaken the potential of our bloodline. They explain how to perform an ancestor healing circle, carry out an ancestor release ritual, and offer blessings for children and grandchildren as well as providing meditative journeys to meet our ancestors, our spiritual family, and our spiritual roots in other realms. They also provide short case studies to illustrate how the rituals and exercises have worked for other people.

    By enacting ancestral healing, we can recognize who we are, where we come from, and truly fulfill our destiny in this life.

      Ancestral Healing for Your Spiritual and Genetic Families - Jeanne Ruland

      Dedications

      I would like to dedicate this small book to the ALOHA SPIRIT and the AUMAKUA, the ancestors, who came before us and prepared our path.

      Jeanne Ruland

      * * *

      I dedicate this small book to the one power, the great love that creates and maintains us and that is our true being. Love leads us toward experience and blesses all that exists. Love is the greatest creative force, and we live through love. Love is the strongest healing power in the universe, leading us on our own very individual spiritual path and ultimately bringing us home into our true being.

      Shantidevi

      Acknowledgements by Jeanne Ruland

      I would like to thank my paternal grandparents with all my heart. They always believed in and supported me; they carried me, protected me, and encouraged and helped shape me. They were always there for me, giving me love, a sense of security, and the courage to follow my own path in life and live the way I was born to live. Thank you for all the love that I was privileged to experience because of you.

      I bless the other ancestors whose blood has commingled in my veins and I thank my parents for giving me the life that I have taken into my own two loving hands. I pass the love that I have experienced and that lives within me to my children so that all those who come after me may have a part of it. I bless you.

      I would like to thank my AUMAKUA, my spiritual ancestors, who are part of my OHANA, my family. I have a connection to the powers of the Earth and of the universe, and I thank the whole line of my spiritual ancestors for all the initiations, deep inner experiences, and insights that have illuminated my path and forged a link to my spiritual powers and abilities, my true heritage. I honor and bless my spiritual ancestors.

      May this blessing flow into every realm, level, and dimension. May these lineages heal and rise into the light, and, when the time is right, may we reconnect with one another in light and love. May this small book open our eyes and bless and enrich us on many levels and in many dimensions. I honor you, Aumakua, ancestors and spiritual forebears who came before us and made my path straight, and I dedicate this book to you.

      Acknowledgements by Shantidevi

      I thank you, those ancestors who came before me, for the gifts of life and love.

      There would be no me without you, and from the bottom of my heart I honor and revere your lives as they were lived. I thank you sincerely for permitting me as your descendant, through your very existence, to learn so much of the mystery of life, the distortions of love, and the blessing of redemption through love.

      In particular, I would like to thank the ancestors from my paternal grandmother’s lineage, who were priests. You have long been a source of comfort and blessing, of light, and of support.

      I thank you, my spiritual ancestors and teachers on my path, who through training and initiation have led me to a deeper understanding of the spiritual path we follow as human beings.

      I thank my soul for all the many valuable and insightful memories from the past; these are the parts that make up my potential as a whole, slowly reassembling themselves, bit by bit, piece by piece.

      I now feel deeply connected with Heaven and Earth, with the angels and the Ascended Masters. I feel nourished and blessed by your spiritual lineages.

      I have been granted permission to learn that unfulfilled love in family systems ultimately sends us on a quest for the one true lasting love.

      That I am currently following this path of memory, as are so many other people, is a great gift, particularly since we have been lacking love for so long and in such pain.

      And so we grow in understanding of our true selves. May everything that heals within us be a source of light, inspiration, and a blessing for everyone on this incredibly beautiful planet who takes this path home with and after us.

      May we all remember who we really are.

      Remember:

      You are light from light

      Love from love...
