How ancestral trauma and karmic vows shape your life and how you can free yourself and future generations. Have you ever noticed how certain struggles keep repeating in your life, no matter how much inner work you do? You may have walked through therapy, coaching, or countless healing modalities, and still the pattern reappears. Different faces. Different scenarios.
Yet always the same lesson circling back, like a carousel that refuses to stop spinning.
Most likely, this is a result of being entangled in deeper agreements, ancestral contracts and karmic vows that transcend your personal history and weave into the collective story of your soul lineage.
The weight of ancestral memory
When we incarnate, we bring with us both our soul’s evolutionary path and the stories etched into our family line. Some of these cellular memories are literally baked into our DNA, carrying unprocessed trauma such as grief, exile, silence, abuse, or loss.
Alongside this genetic inheritance, science now speaks of epigenetics, the way our ancestors lived and our families' lived experiences, their stress, their survival choices, even the way they nourished themselves, can alter how our genes are expressed and passed down. Epigenetics doesn’t change the DNA sequence itself, but it influences which parts of it are switched on or off, shaping how we live today.
Spiritual traditions have long held this knowing in another language, that we are connected to seven generations before us and seven generations yet to come.
To heal the ancestral field is to set free not only yourself, but those who came before you, and those who will come after. You become the one who says, “It stops with me.” This work is a soul’s agreement and calling.
On my YouTube channel, I often speak about how ancestral patterns whisper through our bodies and choices. You can explore these conversations there, knowing that each video is part of a living library of guidance for your soul journey.
Karmic vows that still bind
Beyond our ancestry, many of us carry vows from other lifetimes. These vows were once sacred, but they can now feel like invisible chains.
A vow of poverty once reflected devotion, now it blocks your ability to welcome abundance.
A vow of silence once kept you safe, now it stifles your truth. A vow of obedience or loyalty once aligned you with order, now it keeps you in limiting relationships or systems. Even desperate promises such as “I will never love again” can echo through lifetimes, restricting your ability to receive joy.
These vows cling to your soul like old garments, no longer fitting yet difficult to discard. Until they are consciously released, the patterns repeat, no matter how much effort you invest.
The sacred work of lineage healing
So how do we unravel what is woven so deeply?
Sometimes it begins with a personal inquiry. It’s as simple as sitting in silence with a journal and pen in hand, asking your body what it remembers, journaling with honest insights, and noticing where you habitually give away your power.
But often, this work requires witnessing and someone to hold space for you. One of the most transformative works I do with clients is known as Shamanic Constellations. In these sessions, ancestral secrets are given voice, hidden traumas are revealed, and the family field begins to breathe again. What was silenced can finally be spoken, and what was bound can finally be released.
The result goes beyond personal healing, it creates a shift that reverberates backward and forward through time. Your lineage and future generations are liberated from these wounds.

Guidance for the journey
The truth is, we are not meant to walk this path alone. There are moments when the mirrors of others, teachers, guides, and communities, help us see what we cannot see by ourselves.
This is why I share not only through private sessions, but also through my YouTube channel. There, you will find the original videos where I speak about Human Design, lineage healing, and the astrological energies shaping our time. Consider it a sacred library you can return to whenever you need clarity or resonance.
For those ready to go deeper, I also offer multidimensional readings and Akashic journeys. These are opportunities to step directly into the record of your soul, to uncover karmic contracts still at play, and to receive clear guidance from your divine team. Each layer, ancestral, karmic, and cosmic, works together to reveal the path to freedom.

Reclaiming your power
At its core, lineage and karmic healing are about reclaiming your power. It is about recognizing where your life has been lived according to someone else’s script, and choosing to step into your own.
Sometimes this means breaking cycles of silence. Sometimes it means forgiving an ancestor, or yourself, while releasing unfinished stories, and sometimes it means boldly declaring. “This ends here.”
When you do, you are liberating it, you become the bridge between what has been and what is possible.
A collective call to healing
We are living in extraordinary times. The celestial alignments that started in 2022 invite us to dive into the roots of our being, exposing what has been hidden so it can be healed. Each planetary square or opposition mirrors the inner call to confront old stories and choose anew.
This is why so many are feeling old wounds resurface. Life is asking us. Will you break the chain? Will you be the one who shifts the story for your family, your lineage, your soul?
Rewriting the frequency of your life
The universe responds to frequency, not to effort or doing. When you release the weight of ancestral trauma and dissolve karmic vows, your frequency rises. Life begins to move with you rather than you moving against it!
And so you step into joy, abundance, and alignment, not only for yourself, but for your family and beyond that to the collective. This is how personal healing becomes planetary healing.
This is the invitation. To end what no longer serves. To free yourself and your lineage. To rise into the most radiant expression of who you are.
You can begin this journey by exploring my teachings on YouTube. And when you are ready for deeper transformation, you are welcome to walk with me through Shamanic Constellations, Akashic readings, or multidimensional mentoring here.
