HEALING YOUR FAMILY TREE

THROUGH SPIRITUALITY

Karma can be passed down the bloodline from generation to generation,from the mother to the child, via the mitochondrial DNA (female DNA). It is thought that many of our problems in this life are linked to our ancestral past; a direct cause of unresolved issues began by our former relatives. Our unresolved problems can be visualized like a blocked pipe or cluttered tunnel spanning back through the years into our ancestral past, without the proper cleansing we could be dumping our problems (and our ancestor's problems) onto our offspring.

Biblical evidence of this can be found:

"Our Fathers sinned and are no more, and we bear their punishment" Lamentations 5:7 (NIV)

"The fathers eat sour grapes, and the childrens' teeth are set on edge" Ezekiel 18:2 (NIV)

" ...for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me ..." Exodus 20:5 (NIV)

"May the Lord grant Mercy to the household of Onesiphorus ..... may the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day!" 2 Timothy 16:18 (NIV)

Cleansing or healing our bloodline is in fact taking full responsibility for its patterns - the failings, the traumas, the injustices, the suffering, the poverty, the wealth, the successes - absolutely everything that has happened to your family tree, whether you know about it or not. It is thought that we can send love back through time to our ancestors; healing thoughts that acknowledge all their suffering and traumas, all the bad things that have befallen them, thoughts of love to every individual ancestor through time. You do not focus on any particular family member but heal all individuals as a whole, the entire family tree.

You may be able to spot the kinds of things that have affected your personal family bloodline; certain traits that you've noticed recurring from one generation to the next, it is almost certain that these traits go back a lot longer than your own experiences. The traits could be anything; addiction to alcohol, violent tempers, incest, eating disorders, health problems caused by stress. the traits can also be positive, gentle and kind; in this case it is thought that the timeline tunnel is clear up to the present day, but it can still benefit from a pre-emptive burst of healing power.
