Ancestral Clearing

Mary (not her real name) came to me with an aspect regarding her ancestral trauma clearing. She has been working on this intergenerational trauma for a few months, as it seemed to have affected her very intensely and she was dedicated to clear the “bigger picture“. We have been working for some time on the traumatic relationship with her mother, and Mary had come to the realization that the ancestral past was more present in her than just her DNA. She came to refer to it as her emotional DNA; all the deep beliefs, assumptions, thought systems and judgements that were passed down through the generations.

            This time she told me her visualization of the ancestral trauma. She said it felt like a deep, dark and sticky substance, and that she was quite overwhelmed just looking at it. We started out tapping on “this overwhelm” and “I can’t even look at it”, “It seems too much”, “I can never clear that, too thick, too dark.”

            Then the word “TAR” came to her. She said: “It feels like tar, a deep, thick, dark tar, and I feel I can never get this cleared, it is just too solid and I feel it is in every cell and atom of my body, just too sticky and solid, there is no way I can clear that tar out of my system, not to mention out of my ancestral stream.” We tapped on all these aspects: the feeling of heaviness that this picture gave her, the feeling of absolute dread in her whole body that this was too much to clear, the sense that this dark, sticky stuff was locked in every atom and cell of the body, that she could find no way to clear it.

            At this point we inserted in the set-up phrase the possibility of a resolution: “Even though I can’t see how I could ever clear this thick tar, I am open to suggestions from my Higher Self (this was a phrase she choose as the connection to her greater awareness) to send me an image that will help resolve this tar in my own system as well as my ancestral stream” Immediately Mary’s face lit up as she reported hearing: “Just send Love and Light through your body and into the stream” We tapped on this: “I send Love and Light through my body and into the stream” We did this for about ten, twelve rounds as tears of gratitude and amazement flooded Mary’s face. When we stopped to check in, she reported that the tarry substance was starting to break up and become lighter in substance and color. She now felt inclined to bring her mother (now diseased) in the picture again, as her mother was a major contributor to her trauma. She told her mother (all the while tapping) that she understood how hard it must have been to raise her family with all that tar substance flowing through her system and no way of effectively dealing with this (no EFT back then). She asked forgiveness of her mother for being so judgmental of her. And she forgave her mother for all the pain she had caused. Love and Light was flowing deeply in this interchange. I asked Mary, as our session came to an end, how she felt and what she saw when looking at the tarry substance. She responded that it seemed less solid and less dark and even now still in the process of dissolving. I asked her how her body felt and she used the word “Light”

            The next morning she called me and reported that all through the night she woke up with this light and bubbly feeling of expansiveness and joy. She told me she woke up in the morning with this deep sense of gratitude for the gift of clearing this ancestral tarry energy. “It is like I have a whole new energy body that is light, peaceful and in deep gratitude. I can’t wait to see what more I can clear to even become more expansive and loving and light!”

So much gratitude for EFT!!!
