Summary
In this episode of AWAKENING, we explore the effects of dysfunctional ancestral patterns, contracts, and burdens you might be carrying.
Join me for a discussion of:
- what are ancestral contracts, vows, and unconscious agreements?
- how do these contracts and burdens get passed down through the family line?
- the importance of identifying unconscious agreements you might have with ancestors or family members - including agreements to suppress your truth, to play small, to keep the peace at all costs, to abandon yourself, to rescue everyone, to feel unworthy of abundance, or to carry your ancestors' suffering for them
- exploring a sequence of powerful questions to identify potential ancestral contracts and patterns in your life
I've created a special resource to go along with this episode: a 40-minute guided healing journey to clear any and all ancestral contracts, patterns, burdens, and unconscious agreements from your energy field and physical body. We'll sweep through each of your energy centers, or chakras, to revoke and clear any contracts or burdens stuck there. To purchase this audio, go here:

| 0:43.1 | Hello and welcome to a new episode of Awakening. |
| 0:48.1 | Today we'll be delving into dysfunctional, ancestral patterns, contracts, and burdens. This topic has been coming up a lot |
| 0:57.9 | in my own life recently and in the lives of many people around me, and I get a lot of |
| 1:05.6 | emails from listeners asking for this topic, so I figured it would be an ideal theme for us to explore. |
| 1:14.4 | Ancestral patterns and contracts can be really heavy, really burdensome, and they can cause a lot of |
| 1:22.3 | problems and challenges in our lives, especially as we try to move forward and become our most authentic selves. |
| 1:31.9 | And as we try to individuate and sometimes separate psychically and emotionally, maybe even physically, |
| 1:40.7 | from our families to figure out who we really are as individuals and as souls |
| 1:47.9 | having this human experience. So first, let's do a little overview of contracts. What do we |
| 1:57.0 | mean when we say ancestral contracts? These are basically agreements, commitments, |
| 2:04.5 | promises, or vows that we enter into unconsciously, automatically when we are born |
| 2:13.1 | into our human families in each lifetime. |
| 2:22.8 | So as a growing baby in the womb, as an infant, as a young child, |
| 2:27.2 | you really had no filter or protection around you to keep out any of the dysfunctional patterns, behaviors, choices, dynamics, |
| 2:34.1 | or arrangements of your family of origin. So the family |
| 2:40.1 | or environment where you grew up, basically. So it doesn't have to be necessarily your biological |
| 2:46.1 | family, but the family where you grew up, the family that raised you. So you just took all of that in |
| 2:55.6 | because as a baby and as an infant, you were completely open, unfiltered, without boundaries, |
| 3:04.7 | just naturally. That's how we are as babies. And some of the things we take in |
