Thank you, Jenna, for the amazing wisdom you share with us here. I can’t express what a powerful shift it’s been for me beginning to work with my ancestors through your course. Amazing magical coming through!

Beautiful and wonderful as always Jenna! This is incredibly powerful... I was going to say "work" which it is, but it so much more. It's a gift, a homecoming, a opening to greater understanding and to a wisdom that is ancient and ageless. It's finding a family that I didn't even know I had... but am related to! Thanks Jenna! 💜💜💜

Thank you, Julie! For me, this “work” shines because you are doing it with me. I love all your guides and ancestors and the wisdom and belonging they bring to us all. 💖💖💖

This was so deeply comforting, fortifying and affirming, Jenna. As you know, I've only fairly recently begun to intentionally try to connect with ancestors, probably mostly because I couldn't access the pull until I skimmed the skin of anger and trauma off my family history to a "good enough" level (and that took...decades!). So grateful I continue to feel called to explore this more deeply as I'm able. I can feel the exquisite sacredness of the call, and your words are so very validating. Thank you, always, for your generosity. And many blessings as you start your next turn around the sun! 🎂🎉💐❤️🧡💛💚💙💜☀️

Oh Keith… I just love how you put this: “skimming the skin of anger and trauma off my family history to a 'good enough' level.” That line really struck me. It captures so much of the courage and tenderness this work can ask of us, just to get to the starting place. I’m so moved that the sacredness of the call is making itself felt in your life, and deeply grateful to know these words met you at the right time. Thank you, as always, for your thoughtful presence and blessings. 💖💖🤗💖💖

“Not to fix them or carry their burdens but to join together in healing…” so powerful! Thank you for this beautiful, inspiring piece. For the longest time I felt like I was being asked to carry a burden from my lineage… Then I realized it was a gift… And then I realized by utilizing this gift I was contributing to healing for all of us… This is definitely powerful work!

Megan, yes! I felt a little shiver reading your words—it’s such a powerful turning point when what once felt like burden begins to shimmer as gift. And then even more so when we realize it’s not just personal healing, but something that ripples through the whole web. I’m so glad this post resonated with your experience—thank you for sharing this beautiful insight. 💗

Your work is divine as is working in the realm of ancestral healing. I love the messages and rituals you are receiving. Thank you for sharing.

I feel ancestral healing and be as simple being a cycle breaker. Well now that I think about that, that’s not super simple but it does heal backwards and forwards. No psychic powers needed. 😉

Oh, MacFinnian, I love this SO much! One of the things I teach in my class is the simple phrase: "The cycle of wounding stops with me." As you said, simple (and not so simple) but very, very powerful. And thank you for your kind words here! You really made my day! 💖🤗

You’re welcome 🙏 I’ve used that wording as well. I think I’ve transformed it to “I’m choosing to stop this here and because I am. I’m healing those that came before and those that will come after.” 🌀✨💚

Happy birthday! Thank you for sharing. I have been called lately to do some ancestral and past life healing. I love what you wrote at the end of this "May the ones who came before you surround you with love..." This is so magical and healing.

Thank you so much, Stephanie! I’m really touched that the blessing landed with you. It felt like it came through from somewhere deeper than me. And I love hearing that ancestral and past life healing are calling to you too. It feels like such a shared path right now, doesn’t it? Wishing you so much gentleness and magic as it continues to unfold. 💗✨

Wonderful 💜. I have been collaborating with my ancestors and team from across the veil, in my efforts to shift energy that has been experienced as intergenerational wounds, so l find this post very affirming. It wasn’t something that l was seeking at first either, and it came via connection with my deceased partner. The matrilineal line gifted me an amazing meditation this Mother’s Day. Each communication is a wow and yes, the work with ancestors is for all timelines and lifetimes. Thank you 🙏

Simone, this is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it!💖🤗 I’m so moved by the way your connection with your partner opened this portal, and by the Mother’s Day meditation gifted from your matrilineal line...goosebumps, truly. Yes to the wow of each communication, and yes to the deep truth that this work ripples across all timelines and lifetimes. I’m really grateful to be walking a parallel path with you. 💜🙏
