7 Generations of Clearing

Have you ever felt like you were carrying burdens that weren’t entirely your own? Patterns of fear, grief, or struggle that seem to run through your family line? Science and ancient wisdom alike suggest that trauma can be passed down through generations, affecting us in ways we might not even realize. Generational clearing is a profound healing practice that helps release these inherited traumas, allowing individuals to reclaim their energy, vitality, and purpose.

Understanding Generational Trauma

Recent studies in epigenetics reveal that trauma can alter DNA expression, influencing the emotional and psychological well-being of future generations. This means that unresolved pain, fear, and loss from our ancestors can subtly shape our own experiences. Traditional cultures, including the Toltec, have long recognized this phenomenon and developed powerful ceremonies to address it.

What is Generational Clearing?

Generational clearing is a shamanic healing practice aimed at identifying, confronting, and releasing ancestral wounds. This process works by acknowledging stored trauma within the family lineage and consciously working to heal it. The goal is to free ourselves from inherited emotional burdens, break harmful cycles, and cultivate a sense of wholeness.

How Does the Process Work?

One powerful generational clearing practice is the Seven Generations Clearing, a Toltec shamanic ceremony that helps remove ancestral trauma stored in the DNA line. Participants act as a vessel for their lineage, allowing trapped energies to surface and be cleared through guided energy work. The process often includes:

• Intentional reflection – Recognizing patterns within your lineage.

• Guided shamanic healing – Using rituals, breathwork, and movement to release trauma.

• Energetic restoration – Filling the cleared space with healing and renewal.

✔️ The ability to break toxic family patterns
