Healing Ancestral Karma by Steven Farmer

Whether you are just starting out working with your ancestors or you have been working with them for a while, this book is great for helping you with intergenerational healing. This book starts off with the basics on ancestor veneration, the importance of it, and the different cultural views. Steven then takes you through the different ways to contact your ancestors. While the whole book is important, I read this book with part 3 in mind. I wanted to work on healing my family patterns, I did not want those

harmful patterns to be passed on through my descendants. Even though my children are grown, I felt it was not too late to start healing. After I finished the book, I really dug deep into healing my ancestral family patterns using the suggestions in this book. While Steven provides several activities in this book, I was excited about two major activities. One was working on forgiving myself and others and the second was intergenerational healing. For my first activity I decided to go hiking while working through the activity, I won’t go into the nitty gritty of that adventure, but I will provide this advice. Not everyone that I wanted to work with was passed on and I did not want to go to them directly. So, I called upon their higher selves to speak with my higher self. I was able to have the conversations that I needed to have while still maintaining my comfort. After I completed this task, I felt lighter, and I knew I was headed in the right direction. The last activity of the book is the most important, it is the reason why I read this book. Basically, Steven walks you through the steps of calling your ancestors to the room and healing those patterns. Naturally, I modified it slightly by including an ancestor crystal grid and provided Reiki for each of them. I found this book to be very helpful and only found one flaw. Steven focuses a lot on working with your 14 direct ancestors. That was very confining for me. I did read a follow up book that helped me to open to additional ancestors.
