Dear friends,
While we call for Master level guides, Angels and Nature Helpers, your ancestors can be another source of wise guidance. Your ancestor usually have your best interest at heart. Even those who seemed to be off kilter when they were alive can become benevolent when they drop the ego and pass through to the other side. They can be another fountain of spiritual support.
It is also important to ask anyone who you are receiving guidance from: “Do you know me? Do you love me and Do you have my best interest at heart?” If the answer is yes to all three of those questions, I am personally willing to proceed to communicate with a being from the other side. If the answer to any one of those good quetsions is “No”, then I ask that being to leave. I won’t listen to one who doesn’t pass the test of the three questions. It can be that easy (sometimes)
Helpful Ancestors: Since your ancestors are part of your own family tree, they have a direct understanding of your particular family style and issues. That gives their standpoint some unique grounding. Unlike the more starry guides and angels. they more fully appreciate what it’s like to be a part of humanity and your own specific genetic line.
If your relationship with your relatives was challenging, when you were a child or even when they were alive, it takes a certain amount of forgiveness and understanding to be willing and able to work with them. At first, it might seem counter intuitive or puzzling to consider asking them to help you work through some of the same issues they helped you set up in this lifetime.
It is my belief and memory, that we each chose our families and your family members agreed to go through those things with us. I know it can be hard to hear when there is abuse in the story but when you take responsibility for your placement it goes along way toward forgiveness. I know this from personal experience.
Be discerning who you choose to ask for guidance as many relatives have not reached the stage of spiritual mastery. I choose to receive the bulk of my guidance from the masters. When my mom or dad step in with some advice for me, I’m all ears. I know that your helpful ancestors want you do your best.
Start with the relatives that you felt closest to when they were alive. You can talk to them in meditation, in your mind and heart or when writing in your journal. They might slip into your dreams. It’s a wonderful experience to create an altar for them. You might place items they had when they were alive or their favorite flowers. It is symbolic of the connection.
If you don’t hear your ancestors, that’s ok. You may be picking up on them subconsciously and continue to develop your intuitive abilities. Here’s a link to my books and mp3’s on these topics. This is one of my best way to share deeper information than i can in a blog. I also have webinars. Just saying… if you like this, you will like that deeper work.
Thank them for their participation in your life. Just like your angels, they won’t step beyond your free will so be sure to call them in. They will help answer your questions.
Once you hear from them, check with your own Master levee Spirit Guides and Higher Self to see if they agree with your ancestor’s choice of guidance. I know from experience that they can offer some fabulous guidance. My mom and I could not relate well when she was alive but since she passed over (25 years ago now) she has become one of my true sources of inspiration and love.
Bountiful well-being and love,

O,K. My once again disclaimer. This work is based in my personal experience. Your intuition is stronger for you than mine or anyone else’s will ever be. Above all else listen to your own inner voice. Always, Always.
