It is taught through the wisdom of the great saints, passed down through the stories from Yogi Bhajan that through meditation and prayer you can heal your lineage of ancestral karma. It is said that when we are liberated, we also liberate 7 generations back and 7 generations forward.
As a meditation to bless the ancestors and heal your lineage you may want to visualise your ancestors lined up behind you; your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents and so on. Then imagine, lined up before you, your children, your children’s children & so on. Let yourself become the bridge of transformation and healing.
