Communicating with the Ancestors.
You know, I always felt that the ancestors were very ancient beings, wisdom holders and magic keepers that were so far away in my energy that it was impossible to relate to them. They were unapproachable.
Even with my experiences in Communicating with Spirit Guides, it never really dawned on me that it also included my ancestors. Over the past few years, I have opened to the (secret) world of all those who lived before me.
This opening included Ancient Shamans, Mysterious Guiding Forces, Nature, and The Ancestors. While opened, Spirit Guides taught me how to remember and honor all aspects of myself. This included the wisdom that was passed to me by my ancestors. By ancestors, I am talking about grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and even the ancients that are in my lineage. Further out from there, are the Ancient Ones (spirit beings of water, air, fire, earth, also gods, goddesses, angels, spirit animals, and more) that were instrumental in birthing us all into the world and led us to who we are now.
The interesting thing is that our ancestors ‘speak’ to us in any way that we can ‘hear’ them. Be it intuitively, through mediumship, our deepest dreams at night, automatic response, or re-membering from the Great Vastness of the Universe.
We Are One
The premise of We Are One is not simply a metaphor. It incorporates the idea that all dimensions, and timelines (past/present/future) are in the same space.
It’s not layers of dimensions all piled up on each other. That implies separateness. It’s all One, existing all at once in the same space.
We can only see one dimension through the eyes of a Third Dimensional Body Experience (human body). The higher (finer, or quicker) we can bring our frequency, then we can witness other areas at the same time.
Past, present and future are not lined up this way or that way. It ALL is in the same space at once. All the differing vibrations and uniqueness exist together. It is simply the ability to ‘witness’ them that we want to acquire.
Why is that important? Because we can begin to realize that our ancient ancestors are all in the same space that we are. They are not hundreds of years in the past. They are right here. So, communicating with them is as close as a whisper.
We are the same and it is our responsibility to recognize them all.
We Are Uniquely One and the Same
Our ancestors are in our being: our physical skin and bones, our minds and thoughts, our Soul. They walk among us, and we have been in their prayers before they knew us. You are here now because they were here before. And your descendants know you through Spirit and Soul Group.
They say that when we do our own inner personal healing, we heal 7 generations forward and 7 generations back. The memories, the power, traumas, pains, and wisdom of our ancestors are currently running through our blood/DNA and thus stored in our energetic/physical body.
~~ Ancestral Essence
Ancestral Alters
Creating Ancestral Alters can be honoring as well as healing for yourself and your ancestors. I originally started having alters (really, they were simply memory tables) for recent family members that had passed away. Parents, daughter, cousins, etc. When I placed a favorite photo of a loved one on the table, I was instantly reminded of something happy and joyful with that one person. It made me feel good - and also radiated loving energy to the loved one.
After a while, I found myself intentionally draping the table with mom’s tablecloth, or daughter’s favorite scarf. I took pride in the setting of special items that belonged to them.
Slowly, my guides started feeding me information about ‘Loving Intentions’. An intention is something I mindfully do to bring about a certain conclusion. There is purpose behind the thinking of it. We create a spell in the Intention and Placement concerning this one person from our past. And in doing so, it becomes a prayer or invocation. We have a certain devotion towards them and blessing/grace for their life.
Dream Communication with Ancestors
Do you ever wish you could access the wisdom of your ancestors? It’s possible to do that, and many people do it regularly. There is some prep work to do for this, so I’ll describe how I recommend doing it.
Start with a simple and easy dream experience.
Always start before you go to sleep. Go into a light meditation and connect with your guides. You actually have a Dream Guide, so it’s important to connect with that one in particular. You don’t need to know who the Dream Guide is, just intend to connect with them.
During this meditation, ask your guides to meet you in the subconscious mind during your dreamtime. The subconscious is a non-judgmental area for you. So, if there is a fear from a past life, etc., you can go there in the dreams with your guides and experience the event with no judgment, just love. This usually clears the fear. Subconscious is the part of your mind that is open to intuitive and flowing information. Your guides can reach you easily through the subconscious.
If you invite guides for the dreamtime, then pose a question or reason for them to be there. Ask for a special guidance. You may remember the dream and the information given to you. If not, the answer is still there, just know that it will move up to the conscious as you need it. Yes, as you develop, your dreams will get much more colorful and informative. You may even go to a school setting and learn spirit stuff!
After a while, you will be able to know that you are in your dream and can continue the conversation there. This is called Lucid Dreaming.
After you are familiar with this process, you can meet your Ancestors (or more recent relatives) in the dreamtime. Just ask your Dream Guide to introduce you to a particular ancestor you might need to connect with. That encounter will happen in the subconscious, and you can access it at later times.
Your ancestors may come in different ways. But usually, it is a shift of energy. There is a certain “knowing” that they are there. And they will not talk like your regular guides. In my experience, they impart information in full downloads, or bundles of unrecognizable pieces. Some may take a while to decipher. Others are things you already know and understand.
You already have the connection to your ancestors. They are part of you. They come before you to spread the path open. So, it is more like you are just becoming re-acquainted with them and their knowledge.
After the dream is over, and you realize they have been with you, always be grateful to your guides and ancestors for being there. Communicating with your ancestors can become a beautiful part of your spiritual life. ❤️

Thank you for this. Years ago I used to pray that my grandmother (Nana) could visit me in my dreams. I finally dreamed of her and my grandfather, and we were talking on the phone. She answered and said to my grandfather “James! It’s Jamie Ann!” But we had a bad connection. I thought that was so interesting, and felt I was getting through to her but I could’ve quite get there. After that she would pop up in other dreams but not as the main feature, I would just see her in passing. Now, since my mother has died, I visit with her just by imagining myself with her, usually as I’m falling asleep. We have had some good, healing talks. I know that she is just a thought away.
This is so full of beautiful insights! Thanks for writing.
