Ancestral Trauma: Healing Family Patterns
Do you ever wonder why you have certain quirks or mannerisms and where they may have come from? Then we observe our parents and realize we have similar traits. If we have living grandparents, we may recognize similar traits in them as well.
We can inherit familial facial features with similar looking eyes or a nose shape makes itself apparent in family group photos.
What else have we inherited? There are modern day scientific studies that have discovered and proven that our DNA carries memories of trauma. This means that we can be detrimentally affected by the effects of war, famine, plagues and any other kind of global unrest that our ancestors experienced.
Why does a certain person in our family get severely depressed or develops a chronic type of imbalance or disease and there doesn’t seem to any reasonable explanation for it?
In energy healing terminology we call this a miasm otherwise known as a family pattern weakness. We are likely carrying a whole lot of emotional baggage that isn’t even our own!
Previously we defined a miasm as a suppressed disease energy. Meaning, that someone could have a miasm of, for example, leprosy. The explanation here is that in carrying the miasm of a disease, the disease could possibly develop in a person now, IF conditions are right for that disease to develop. Otherwise, the person may just present with the energy of our example, leprosy which would be “isolation”. In years past having leprosy meant that you were banished outside of the city creating the isolation feeling.
To add to more explanation, we can have imbalances in any of our energy bodies: emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, etc. More recently, energy practitioners have learned much more about miasmas in understanding that these imbalances can be different kinds such as Karmic, Planetary, Inherited, or Acquired. That leaves a lot to be discovered in how miasmas can affect us personally, and can be a huge part of ancestral and lineage healing.
Thankfully, we now have energy balancing tools that can heal these family patterns and bring peace to our present mind and body.
This is why I love Court of Atonement work. It can help clean up energies all through our ancestral lines! See more Court of Atonement information here: https://ladybugwellness.ca/court-of-atonement/
We can find miasmas in Body Code energy clearing and balancing. More than that, with defining miasmas as a “family pattern weakness”, I have discovered in my work with clients over the past few years, that a miasm can be absolutely anything!
Some examples:
I have had miasmas of infertility and miscarriage come up for a client who had issues with getting pregnant.
Miasm of psoriasis came up for several people with skin issues.
Traumatic warfare, and cultural genocide came up for some clients dealing with current day repercussions of ancestral atrocities.
Some of this terminology came from random word charts, some from intuitive suggestions within their sessions.
The point being is that I never know what might come up for a client in regards to their inherited imbalances, but it is always fascinating and effective for them.
Trauma repeats itself until it is resolved and healed.
When we work with energy clearing and balancing, we are always working only on those energies that are active or currently triggered.
What is your personality other than a collection of responses you learned over your life that have become who you are. Dr Joe Dispensa says that by the time we are 35 years old, 95% of our thoughts and thinking are repetitive patterns/programs we learned decades ago. In other works – most people are living in the past… And if you have a cluttered past, then your personality contributes to dis-ease.
The world has suffered through a global shutdown because of a “plague” of sorts. We have learned that there was a similar global event about 100 years ago. What I have realized it that many people today are being triggered by unresolved inherited imbalances in their DNA.
Our ancestors would have experienced scarcity, uncertainties, untimely deaths, sickness, abandonment, just for some examples. Those unresolved imbalances are exactly what I have been seeing come up for clients quite often. This is also some of the imbalances I address for my Sunday group.
I use this analogy as an example to explain how trauma repeats itself:
A client can tell me, for instance, that their relationship broke up last week and their partner ran off with their best friend. They may be understandably upset about that recent event. When we do their energy balancing session, that event may seem like the most important upset to clear. I may get some imbalances of betrayal, loss, grief, abandonment etc but the date that comes up may be from childhood.
The client might remember and event from grade 3 when a lunch box was stolen and lunch was eaten. In this example, the partner and lunchbox are not the same. The lunch and best friend are not the same thing. Yet we find that we have uncovered the original root issue behind these imbalances of the partner issue.
I often add a few notes to the beginning of a session and then let things come up. Often energy work seems to have this weird way of finding the roots and residuals behind what I have in the notes and it all gets addressed in ways I cannot even explain. I have been doing this work several years. Lots of experiences and yet still totally fascinated with each and every session.
In recent months, “Activate Atlantean Healing Energy” has come up for several clients. I know that this is an energy modality on its own, but I asked in my forums why this would be coming up so much right now. The explanation I was given is that Atlantis, the lost city, learned a lot about healing and human consciousness ascension, but they “screwed up”. It is my understanding now, that this Atlantean healing energy is vital to our human consciousness evolution.
If you look back through history, there are a lot of generational traumatic events. It seems like our ancestors left us with a lot of emotional baggage to clean up.
Karma is ancestral wounds bought forward for you to heal. When an ancestor did wrong and never righted it, then it’s bought forth for the next generation to heal. If no-one heals it there, it’s bought forward again and so on, until someone steps up to heal and release it.
So, if you do wrong and don’t correct or righten it straight away, then you are creating further karma for the next generation in your family to heal.
This is an amazing time in history where we can clean up this energy and then realize that we can also embrace the good things we have inherited like generational strengths and skills.
So how does this work to clean up our ancestral lineage when I am only working with the client in front of me? Energy is connected everywhere. On an energetic level, we release the imbalances for the client. When we are releasing something inherited like a miasm, it also releases throughout the lineage.
What about free will? It is important to understand that we can only work with permission on the earth plane. This means that yes, the imbalance releases for the client, and all their passed ancestors through the lineage on an energetic and spiritual level.
For those relatives still living and on the earth plane, the imbalance may release for them as well if they are willing to accept. Quite often on an energetic and spiritual level, all souls want to resolve their past. Energetic imbalance corrections can become evident for the client and they also may notice energy shifts in their relatives as well.
Sounds a bit confusing, doesn’t it? I have been doing this work for a long time and it still fascinates me continuously. I love sharing my passion of energy balancing and observing the reactions in my clients when they experience the shifts for themselves!

***August 2022: I have just recently binge watched a Netflix series called “Another Self”.
This is a Turkish drama series about three best friends who set out on a healing journey to unearth the past to restore the present. What is interesting for me is that this series shows Family Constellation Therapy which is an energy healing modality I have experienced myself and have seen used with others.
The series is a great representation of ancestral energy healing to bring understanding to other methods of ancestral energy healing.
July 2023: Generally, when miasms and inherited energies come up, we can make sense of some imbalances by what was going on globally in history. For example, 3-5 generations back is often associated with World Wars and the atrocities our ancestors experienced then.
I have seen 18-19 generations come up for lots of people in the last few months to the point I finally asked my daughter who has a BA in History.
Jackie: What happened about 18 generations ago? Coming up lots for several people.
Melissa: Year?
Jackie: 18 x 20/ 25?? Like 1570s
Melissa Rioux: Bunch of sh*t between Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots…. Bunch of massacres there.
Ivan the terrible living up to his name in Russia. Bunch of massacres there.
Bunch of wars in France.
Bunch of conquistadors f*cking shi*t up in South and Central America.
Jackie: Kinda blunt but makes sense of all what I see coming up for people lately. Desertion, abandonment, inhumane stuff etc. Glad we have tools to clean this all up now.
“Ancestral Lineage Clearing”
Have you cleared your ancestral lineage? Our ancestors bequeath quite a lot to us, through our genetic material, cultural traditions, and emotional patterns. And as multi-dimensional beings floating in the same soup together, our ancestors exert their influence, but can often only guide us through the fog of beliefs they clung to when they lived. Because of social changes alone, what worked for our ancestors in their day doesn’t work for us today.
A lot of life has been lived and a great deal of emotional resonance has been created in the living of those lives. Some of it is beneficial and some of it is non-beneficial. Ancestral Lineage Clearing provides spiritual healing that enables you to access, identify, and release troubling issues that limit your life and inhibit the full expression of your Essence and your Being.
Let’s take a minute to do some Ancestral Math. In order for you to be born, you had:
2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 2nd great-grandparents
32 3rd great-grandparents
64 4th great-grandparents
128 5th great-grandparents
256 6th great-grandparents
512 7th great-grandparents
1,024 8th great-grandparents
2,048 9th great-grandparents. For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, there were a total of 4,094 ancestors over the last 240 or so years. Think for a moment:
How many struggles?
How many battles?
How many difficulties?
How much sadness?
How much happiness?
How many love stories?
How many expressions of hope for the future?
What did your ancestors experience for you to be here at this moment in time?
If you go back to the very beginning of your family, the numbers become astronomical. Whether you use EC or BC, you can ask “What imbalances can be cleared from my family lineage?” This will clear you, your children/grandchildren, and your ancestors (including all their children). Think of all the aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. that will also benefit.
