Questions about Healings for Our Ancestors

Dear Dorothy: I have been curious about ancestors. You always extend healing to them in your opening prayer. I don't think I understand how ancestors relate to us in the present moment. Are ancestors our own un-resolved pieces?

Dorothy: I just LOVE your question.  One great place to go for an introduction to this topic is this video:

Dear Dorothy: Thanks for the link. I checked out the video. I understand things to be a continuum. Changes made at a given moment change the whole, and this is how far I got. :)

Dorothy: Yes, you got it. Our DNA is constantly changing and we can affect the direction of that change by uplifting the energy frequencies of the ancestors by interacting with them in such a way as to support their evolution. Since we are the expression of their immortality, any evolutionary progress we make reflects back to them as well.

So, by helping them, we are helping ourselves, and vice-versa. We are recreating our bodies from the molecular level up to reflect Divine intelligence, Divine love.

Dear Dorothy: Does this relationship and change occur whether one has a good, bad or indifferent connection or expression with their ancestors?

At a basic level an ancestor is one who is dead, but one who in someway contributed to our DNA. Or can it be someone more than that, one who is wise and has some deep impact on our life? Could other people in this life, for example, spiritual guides or teachers on our journey, be our ancestors? I see them affecting change on a deep level as well.

Or, is ancestor a word/idea used to relay the gritty feeling of some very deep connection with ones family members of origin only? Good, bad or indifferent, this gritty feeling of connection never goes away. Is this what this word describes?

Dorothy: To answer your first question, yes, you can affect change in the ancestors regardless of whether you like them or not. The important point to note is that what you do to them, you are actually doing to your own DNA. Educating them, loving them, forgiving them, etc. affords you control over the way in which your DNA changes. It is by interacting with our ancestors from the finest level of feeling that we affect specific changes in our own DNA. Always enter the ancestral archive with the intention all good for everyone, unity, wholeness.

Regarding who is an ancestor: the whole universe affects us. The ancestors, as our predecessors, affect us on the level of our physical form. One needs a very flexible, stable, buoyant nervous system to support more expanded consciousness and refined perception, which are the constituents of spiritual development.

It is known that one parent is often more dominant in the body than the other. This principle goes back for generations. So with all the genetic material to choose from, we are favoring some ancestors over others all the way along.

Certainly other wonderful people also have an impact on our thinking, perceptions, and understandings. Many people who have not contributed to your current physiology genetically can well be members of your soul family or family members from past lives. Also, just doing the math, anyone of European descent today is related to any bearer of offspring who was living in Europe 1,700 years ago. If you go back further, all human beings on Earth are related, of course. We are all one family.

The gritty feeling which you experience seems to me to be an energy frequency within your personal family line. So, yes, it is an ancestral feeling, but not universally experienced. Some families have other kinds of feelings. The fact that you feel this is so fortunate for you and for your family. It is the kind of sensation which, when felt, can be modified, healed, transformed into light, evolved into pure Divine energy. So, keep it logged until you are ready to address it. Some people never notice such feelings and end up being pushed around by them. The fact that you feel it means that you are in a position of power to make it change.

Thank you for these great questions!

Love and gratitude,
Dorothy
