Are Your Ancestors Helping or Hindering Your Destiny?

Wells of support or bindings and curses...

The Ancestors are either the wind at your back or a lead weight at your feet.

In this podcast we explore how our Ancestors shape our fate, and thus by extension...our destinies. A big part of the message we inherit in modern culture is that of ‘individual choice’, which has wonderful gifts… and large gaps, for it misses how our lives occur in a continuum.

In today's world devoid of practices that tend to the dead, we're often left ‘grappling’ with the legacies we've inherited, instead of being supported by them. In indigenous cultures, with healthy ancestral lines, the blessings of the dead, flow like a fertile river.

Most of us are asleep to the gifts, and curses carried in the energetic signature of familial stories, hungry ghosts, or the loving dead (sometimes they are all the same thing).

The fate bestowed upon us by our Ancestors can be expressed in many ways, but in this podcast, I cover how they do so through:

  • Genetic gifts and debilitations

  • Emotionally charged narratives & the energetic signature they carry

  • The ‘unlived destinies’ of our line, seeking to live through us

Fate, destiny and Ancestors are all interrelated in crucial ways. In this podcast, I invite you to consider the possibility that a part of your destiny is to ‘awaken’ to these ancestral influences and actively engage with them.

Understanding that your personal story is intertwined with the stories of your ancestors—which is further woven into the broader story of life and death itself—can empower you to actualize your own individual destiny, which paradoxically always ties into a greater whole.
