Reiki is a transformative healing modality. It can transcend time and space providing distant remote healing and it can also travel to the past to heal early and past life traumas and even our ancestors.
We may not know it but some of our current patterns/shadows may not be our but may be patterns carried over to us by our ancestors. This can be carried on through our connection with our mother’s womb, through DNA and/or by them afflicting their patterns onto us in order to heal them through us.

We can begin to help and start the process of this healing by sending Reiki to our parents, grandparents and going down the energetic umbilical cord connecting us all the way down to our very first ancestors.
By using the Reiki symbols: the Power Symbol (Cho Ku Rei), the Mental/Emotional (Sei He Ki) and the Distance Symbol  (Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen) we can begin to send them healing.
Begin by visualizing yourself in your sacred space, asking for our spirit guides to guide us and protect us in this healing process and that the healing to be for the highest good and in accordance with divine light and love. Begin on either your paternal or your maternal side visualizing an energetic cord connected to your mother/father, grandmother, etc continuing down the line up until you feel you have reached the ancestor needing the most healing, then begin sending Reiki with the Reiki symbols. Once you feel ready to return to your sacred space give thanks to your ancestors and spirit guides for their guidance, light, love, and protection during this distant healing.
Always be thankful, grateful for your ancestors, sending them much love and light. Remember them, leave them offerings and thank them, for they make us who we are through the traditions they left us.
Love and Light, Reiki Master Heidi Ronquillo
