Healing Traditional Ancestral Roots

Ancestral roots are damaged genetic cords that connect us to our ancestors. They carry false belief systems that are perpetuated through multiple generations. Brennan calls these TARS — Traditional Ancestral Root Systems.

While relational cords connect you to living people, ancestral roots connect you to your lineage — your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and beyond. These roots carry not just genetic traits but also energetic patterns, belief systems, and unresolved traumas that pass from generation to generation.

TARS push through the chakra seals, creating blind spots on the seals. This blocks clear perception of reality. A TARS in the sixth chakra, for example, blocks a clear perception of reality — you literally cannot see things as they are because the ancestral distortion filters your perception.

Ancestral roots can carry:

• • False belief systems: "We don't deserve wealth," "Men don't show emotion," "Trust no one"
• • Unresolved traumas: Wars, famine, persecution, displacement, abuse
• • Family secrets: Shame, guilt, hidden crimes, suppressed truths
• • Cultural conditioning: Prejudices, gender roles, class expectations
• • Religious dogma: Fear-based beliefs about God, sin, punishment
• • Energetic patterns: Addiction tendencies, illness patterns, relationship dynamics

Because TARS push through chakra seals and create blind spots, they affect you in specific ways:

• • You hold beliefs that you think are yours but are actually inherited
• • You repeat patterns that make no sense in the context of your own life experience
• • You have irrational fears or reactions that don't match your personal history
• • You feel loyal to family patterns even when they harm you
• • You can't see certain things about yourself or your family clearly
• • The same illness, addiction, or relationship pattern appears across generations

Brennan observed that when her father died, he came to her and filled her with the distilled wisdom he had learned in his life. He also brought his mother (Brennan's grandmother, who had died when her father was only eight). At a workshop channeling, the entire room filled with ancestors of all participants — some were aware, others were not.

This shows that the connection to ancestors doesn't end with death. The cords and roots continue to carry information, and healing them benefits both the living and the deceased.

When Brennan's father died, she received a phone call from her brother. She went into meditation to help him if he became disoriented. Instead, her father came into the room and proceeded to fill her with the distilled wisdom he had learned in his life. He asked her to channel in the workshop because he had never seen her channel.

During the channeling, her father came into the room with her aunt Grace and her grandmother — the mother he had lost at age eight. He was so happy to see her again. The entire room filled with ancestors of all workshop participants, and Heyoan led a healing between each participant and their deceased relatives.

Your relationship to the fourth-level-reality world is affected by your ancestral past. Your significant relationships, such as in marriage, include the astral past of the families into which you marry. All negative belief systems are connected to and influenced by fourth-level-reality worlds that hold those beliefs.

Healing ancestral roots doesn't mean rejecting your family or your heritage. It means freeing yourself and your lineage from false beliefs and unresolved pain, so that the true wisdom of your ancestry can flow unimpeded.

From Chapter 18:

1. What false beliefs did you inherit from your family? List them.
2. Which of these beliefs don't match your own experience of reality?
3. What patterns repeat across generations in your family? (Illness, addiction, relationship dynamics, financial patterns)
4. Which ancestors do you feel connected to? Which do you feel burdened by?
5. What would you like to heal not just for yourself but for your entire lineage?
