A guide for an Ancestral Healing Ritual
The aim of this ritual is to strengthen and improve relationships with the ancestors so that they can help us to master our lives, maintain a good relationship with our living family members and fulfill our wishes.
The essence of a general ancestral ritual is an expression of love for the ancestors. If this essence is absent, the ritual is useless. To create the feeling of love, always keep the attention in the heart center and especially when giving something during the ritual.
Ancestral rituals are best performed at sunrise and no later than 2 hours after sunrise. They can also be performed at sunset, but sunrise is better. The morning of the new moon can be considered the best day. We should not perform the ritual on a full moon.

Preparing Ancestral Healing Ritual
Place the lamp or candle on the disposable plate and light it with matches, not lighters. Now remember the ancestors you knew and greet them in spirit and wish them all the best. With those ancestors with whom you have a particularly good connection, you can spend a little more time connecting with them in your heart. In general, greet all ancestors you never knew but who are nevertheless your ancestors.
Then announce to your ancestors that you have brought them some gifts and place the gifts on the disposable plate in that order.
First fill the water pot, cup or vase to the brim. Then add flowers, objects or leaves to the vase. Now arrange all the other offerings one by one on the plate, in a beautiful way around the vase.
Now light the 2 incense sticks and hold them in your hand while you mentally turn to the ancestors again by saying something like the following in your mind:
- Hello, how are you?
- I hope you like these gifts, please enjoy them.
- I hope I’m not doing anything wrong in your eyes, and if I am, please forgive me, I’m doing my best and I’m willing to learn and improve.
Then in the end. Thank you for your help. Which is also the truth.
Now place the two incense sticks on the plate (put them in a fruit or a soft candy), salute the plate one last time and mentally say that you will leave the plate there until the next day after you have hidden it from the public as described above. as described above. No one but you should then see the plate for the next few hours.
After the Ancestral Healing Ritual
If the candle or oil lamp can burn until it burns out, that’s best. If not, extinguish the flame without blowing, but with a hand movement or a spoon. If no candle or oil lamp is used, the incense sticks must be lit right at the beginning of the ritual. lit as they provide the fire element needed for the connection.
Bring the elements other than the paper into nature on the other day. If you need more informations about shamanic healing, please contact me, Namaste
