Clearing ancestral karma isn’t an easy process. True healing always begins with awareness. First, you need to recognize the pattern that keeps showing up, see the problem for what it is, and then allow yourself to heal and integrate the lesson.
Many of us think there’s nothing to heal from—this is avoidance. Instead of acknowledging the wound, people often sweep things under the rug and convince themselves: “I don’t have anything to heal. I’ll just cut the cords and move on.” Boo boo, it doesn’t work that way.
When we’re in denial and try to cut cords prematurely, the lesson simply comes back. The pattern repeats, just in a different form, because the teaching wasn’t integrated. We avoid certain experiences to escape the emotions that come with them—but the cycle always returns until we finally choose to face it.
Relationships are the clearest mirror of all. They reflect back to us our fears, the things we avoid, and the parts of ourselves we try to hide. People are our greatest teachers. And when we don’t learn the lesson, the cycle repeats: same story, just a different person.
In my own life, I’ve repeated patterns—again and again. The same types of relationships, the same wounds—until I finally understood: this is my ancestral karma to clear. These cycles can show up in our romantic relationships, friendships, or family dynamics.
The very first step in clearing anything is simply becoming aware that the pattern exists.
The next step is to ask yourself: How does this affect my daily life? What is this pattern here to teach me?
For example, if you find yourself repeating the cycle of abuse, the lesson might be to stand up for yourself—to love yourself so deeply that you set strong boundaries and no longer allow anyone to hurt you. When the karmic loop reappears, this time you recognize it as a pattern. You see it as a lesson. And when you integrate it—you move forward in your healing journey. Bravo.
At this point, you have a choice. I don’t love to say “the Universe is testing us,” but in a way, it does. Situations repeat so that you can respond differently than before. When you act from awareness and choose differently—congratulations. You’ve graduated to the next level. You’ve recognized the problem, learned the teaching, and healed the part of yourself that needed healing—whether it’s self-worth, self-love, abandonment wounds, mother wound, father wound, witch wound (being visible, owning your voice), or something else.
This is real progress for your soul’s journey.
And this is how karma truly works. Karma isn’t just “bad things coming back” or wishing others to “get their karma.” If you wish harm on others, don’t be surprised if it circles back to you, because energy always returns in some form.
Karma is your soul’s path. Before you came into this life, your soul already had a plan—certain lessons to learn in this incarnation. Some of those are personal, others are ancestral patterns you’ve inherited.
Yes, we can inherit shame, fear, guilt, and pain from our ancestors—it runs in our blood. But when you choose to heal, when you choose a different path for yourself, you also heal your lineage. You declare: This ends with me. I will not pass this pain forward to the next generations.
When you break those chains, you don’t just free yourself—you raise the frequency of the planet. Because while you are an individual consciousness, you are also part of the collective. We are all one.
Maybe your ancestors didn’t have the courage to heal. They carried pain, silence, wounds from their own times. By choosing to heal now, you are healing not only yourself but all of us. We are one ocean.
When you choose to accept, to forgive, to act differently—you are free. This is not your shame, not your guilt, not your pain to carry. You don’t need to hold grudges or resentment—that is poison to your heart.
The truth is, when you integrate your lessons, you move with compassion—for yourself, for others, and for those who didn’t have your strength. Healing always brings you back to love.
So be grateful. Grateful that you are the one strong enough to use this opportunity. Gratitude will always give you more reasons to be grateful.
With love,
Laura
