Holistic Traveling : Connect with your ancestors and their power
Native Americans, South Americans, Aborigines and other indigenous peoples believe, that we can connect with the spirits of our ancestors, when we go to the places where they once lived. With certain rituals they awaken the spirits and ask for soul healing or help and solutions for problems. If you also want to connect deeply with your ancestors, it is best to seek out a shaman or healer. It is possible that the connection to your ancestors activates your genes and releases traumas and blockages that have been passed down in your family for generations. Which rituals make sense, depends on your family tradition. These rituals are not always necessary to establish the connection.
You can also connect with our ancestors in deep Meditation. However, it is much easier to establish a connection with them, if you have made direct contact with them on the place they lived. All great wisdom traditions state, that a particular ancestor is our guardian angel in this lifetime. This could be, for example, your great-great-grandfather or your great-great-grandmother, whom you have never met before.
With the help of a shaman or healer, find out who is at your side and transfers his/her divine power to you as soon as you call on him/her. In fact, there is nothing more uplifting than being in strong connection with your ancestors and using their power, even if you are on the other side of the world.
In Mexico they celebrate the Day of the Dead, also known as “Dia de Muertos”. Everywhere you see decorated skulls and skeletons in all shapes, even cakes. Every family celebrates at night at the grave of their deceased. In other traditions such as the Hindus in India, a “Puja” is performed on the day of death. This is a ceremony in a temple or home in which the “Divine Energies” are summoned by a priest to bless the deceased and the family. Similar rituals can be found in the Muslim and Jewish tradition. Ultimately, our ancestors are part of our lives, because we share the same genes and energies. We can use their power to achieve our goals and turn.
