In my previous posts I have been introducing a little of the theory behind the spiritual practise of Innersound Ancestry. Today I would like to share someone's actual experience of the benefits of removing karma through ceremonial practise. I believe this really brings home how much we are effected by the spirit world.

 At Innersound Ancestry we are involved everyday with helping people remove their problems on a physical, mental or emotional level through respection ancestral spirits.

Here are the stories of some of the people who have been helped by Innersound Ancestry.

“Since I have finished the Innersound Ancestry healing I no longer have cravings for comfort food. I have stopped taking drugs fro primary sleep disorder and have begun to sleep properly, getting at least 3/4 hours most nights. This is the best amount of sleep that I have had in over 4 years. I had been getting as little as 8 hours a week.

My emotions are more stable and have been able to remember several unkind things that I did as a young child which caused me to cry a good deal during meditation.

Spiritually I am more aware of energy around me. I am doing everything mindfully, therefore less likely to cause hurt to anyone through careless actions or words. I am able to gather my thoughts in and reflect.

My family has noticed that I am more alert, look much healthier and am more like my old self”.

Lorraine, age 43, April 2010

“For the last 13 years I had to follow a very strict alimentary diet. I could not tolerate many foods such as dairy, sugar (jncluding fruit), beef, pork, tea and coffee, yeast and fermented foods, vinegary food, fungus food such as mushrooms…If I was to eat any of the above my body would slowly shut down. My vision would start to go, I would become bed ridden for at least 2 days with and feel irritable. At the beginning of the 24 days Innersound Ancestry healing I have had the incredible feeling that I could suddenly be able to eat everything again, in moderation. I have not looked back ever since and, although I have maintained a very healthy diet, I can eat normal food and enjoy meals with friend and family. I do not suffer anymore from any of these terrible symptoms I used to have.”

Julia, age 42, March 2008

“I was very unbalanced when I started the training. I realised how much my actual state of mind depended on my ancestors’ influence after my very first ceremony: a sense of lightness and calm took over from my anxiety and worries. I feel much more serene and happier now, I’m definitely sleeping better and I have realised that what we do with our lives will influence our future generations.

Innersound Ancestry Healing has improved my well-being but also made me discover my spiritual side. I feel I have a more defined purpose in this life”.

Marco, age 33, July 2009 

Testimonials like these illustrate very well how many of our problems come from ancestral karma.

Be it physical, mental or emotional it is our energetic inheritance that dictates our luck and our future.

Hello,


In this post I am including the last instalment of the article on Innersound Ancestry. This will give you a comprehensive overview of  what we do and why we do it.
I hope that these posts have inspired you to keep learning more about this universal, ancient practise which is now being brought back to the West.
Over the next few weeks I will be expanding on the themes touched upon in this overview. Of course there are some huge subject matters here: life after death, the relationship between mind body and spirit, spirit possession, karma, Qi and Taoism to name but a few. I will be drawing on many different sources both spiritual and anthropological to illustrate the universality of these concepts throughout the world.
As I mentioned before the practise of respecting ancestors has died out in the West but there is still a lot of interest in the spirit world. The large numbers of cinema goers who have down the years watched films such as the Amityville Horror, The Mothman Prophecy and the Exorcism of Emily Rose wont dispute this. And of course lets not forget that many of these films were based on people's actual experiences.
Anyone who has attended a Mind Body Spirit festival,walked to the end of a British Pier or seen an ad for a Medium's premium rate phone line will have noted  the interest that still abides in messages from the spirit world. So while a deep interest in the invisible world still exists we have little opportunity to channel this positively(excuse the pun). I hope to provide a safer and more fruitful avenue for people to explore the existance of the invisible world.

Ancestral healing  releases spirits from their connection with the descendants by clearing their karma and healing the energy pattern that holds the information of their physical lives. It consists of three parts: separation, purification and deliverance. Spirits who have little karma and cultivated their minds during their lives are easily guided, but those with much karma and defiant and wilful minds can take much longer to submit to the healing process. The descendants, however, are the bridge between this world and their ancestors, and play the most crucial role in helping their ancestors achieve deliverance from this world. The ancestors, who no longer have a body, have to be healed through the body of the descendant, and it is through one’s love and great willingness to help the ancestors that healing can take place. We can make an analogy with a tree, with our ancestors being the roots, we are the trunk, and our children, the fruit. Generally, a tree is only as healthy as its roots, but the trunk is what holds the tree and is the link between the roots and the fruit. We are the link between the past and future generations and play an important role in ensuring their wellbeing.

Here is the latest instalment of my on going attempt to explain and interest people in the practise of Innersound Ancestry. I hope you find this interesting.

During physical life we exist within time and space, but after death, time and space cease to exist. This is the reason people who had near-death experiences claim that they can travel great distances in no time, and can see their whole lives flash before them in an instant. Studies conducted into near-death experiences concluded that consciousness, or the soul, might continue to exist after the brain has ceased to function. The findings, by two eminent doctors of heart attack survivors, reported that a number of those people experienced vivid encounters with bright lights and other-worldly beings after they were pronounced clinically dead. One of the authors of the study, Dr. Peter Fenwick, a neuropsychiatrist at the Institute of Psychiatry in London said that: “These people were having these experiences when we wouldn’t expect them to happen, when the brain shouldn’t be able to sustain lucid processes or allow them to form memories that would last…If the mind and brain can be independent, then that raises questions about the continuation of consciousness after death. It also raises the question about a spiritual component to humans and about a meaningful universe with a purpose rather than a random universe.”

Ancestral healing relies on a deeply mystical understanding of the laws of nature and the origin of human beings. Life is essentially light, sound, energy, movement, vibration, frequency and cycle. Through the use of specific sound vibrations, light and energy can be transmitted to spirit to free it from the burdens of its physical life and to change its level of brightness to a higher state. The spirit, having no material body, absorbs light and energy better than the living, as it is much harder for energy and light to penetrate through a solid physical body. In time, it detaches from its connection with the descendants, freeing them from its influence. It is important to understand that we also receive much beneficial influence from our ancestors, particularly from those who cultivated themselves during their lives, but as we have many hundreds of ancestors over a period of four generations, those who are not well and carrying much anguish will affect us negatively. It is only those spirits who have not detached from their earthly lives that can adversely affect us, for those who maintained their level of spiritual brightness during their lives, at death, depart from this world and do not exert any negative influence over it.

Hello here is the latest installment from Innersound Ancestry.




There is possibly no greater mystery than what happens to us after we leave this life. Generally, people with religious beliefs would see death as deliverance from physical life and eventual return to heaven; others would see death as the final oblivion and a return to nothingness. Death, however, may be just a short pause between material life and spiritual life, with the spirit now being the only living aspect of the human being. But if a person dies carrying much pain, sorrow, regret, disease or deep attachments to the physical world, the spirit has lost its original brightness and is unable to return to its birthplace.


When we come into this world we come as light, and when we return after discarding the physical body, we also return as light. However, the light of the spirit must not be darker than its original home, otherwise, it cannot return. The spirit lives in the eternal world with the level of brightness attained during its 


Earthly life, and its position in the spirit world reflects the level of cultivation and the knowledge, experience and wisdom gained during life.


When we die, we are not delivered from earthly life straight away. The mind, if it is still carrying much attachment to the body and its physical existence, cannot detach itself from its physical life, and thus, remains in this world. For four generations the mind is still connected with its worldly life through the descendants, and it is only after this period, because without a body its frequency has changed considerably from the frequency of the physical world, that it eventually dissolves. Only the spirit, as light, remains, but if the light of the spirit is darker than its original birthplace, it may wander in this world.


Even though a lot of time has passed, and the spirit is no longer under the influence of the mind, its brightness cannot be changed because the spirit is no longer with a body. Only during life can the mind change the brightness of the spirit because it needs the body to do so through its actions and deeds. Therefore, the spirit lives in the eternal world with the level of brightness fixed during its earthly life. Those who died carrying deep resentment, hatred and misdeeds, or died from a sudden or violent death and have difficulty in accepting their death, may wander forever unable to set free the mind they had before their death.

Hello,
Here is the next section of theory on ancestral ceremonial practise.

Nowadays we can think of body, mind and spirit like water in its solid, liquid and gaseous states respectively. The solid state is dense, visible and has a finite shape and form; the liquid state is fluid, formless and the dynamic equilibrium between solid and gas; the gaseous state is invisible and eternal. Both the solid and liquid state can melt and evaporate away, but the hydrogen and oxygen atoms that make up the gaseous state never disappear. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms are made in the universe and combine in the material world under the right conditions to make water. The solid, liquid and gaseous states are composed of the same atoms vibrating at different frequencies. Likewise, spirit, mind and body are the same, and whatever affects one will also impact on the others.


The mind, like water in its liquid state, is the dynamic equilibrium between spirit and body. If the mind is flowing, adaptable and non-resistant, spirit can communicate with the body to support its life and guide it to follow the laws of nature. The mind greatly influences spirit and body, and plays the most crucial role in changing and evolving spirit and body. Change can only take place during physical life when spirit, mind and body are together, for after their separation, no more change is possible and the state of body, mind and spirit is fixed. Life is the training ground for the evolution of spirit, mind and body, and whatever we do in this life is what we take with us.

Introduction to Ancestral Ceremony

Hello,
As an introduction to those who are unfamiliar with the idea of Ancestral veneration through ritual, today I am going to introduce a little of the theory behind the practise.
In the West this practise has mainly died out but throughout the rest of the world from Eastern Europe to China to South America and Polynesia the concept is readily understood. It is my intention to regularly update this site with information both spiritual and anthropological from around the world including my own practise of Ancestral Healing through ancient Taoist ritual. The following is according to Taoist ideas on life and death.

We are born as a result of the union of our parents’ opposite energies of yin and yang when mother’s yin and father’s yang come together, which makes the spark that creates light. This is the original light of creation that we carry in us throughout our lives. Life is the movement and harmonious relationship of yin and yang where body, mind and spirit coexist as one. Death is the separation of yin and yang, and the return to nature of the material elements of earth, fire, water and air. Body returns to earth, spirit should return to its origin, and the mind, if light, rises up with the spirit, or if heavy, sinks down with the body. Depending on the state of the mind, spirit either returns to its origin or remains on the earth.


Eternal life is to live without a physical body and outside of time and space, as material things exist within time and space, but non-material does not. To exist within time and space means that change is only possible when living with a material body and with a mind capable of adapting to life’s movement and changing circumstances. When the mind is fixed, so are body and spirit. A mind that cannot let go of its passions, sorrows and attachments will remain bound to its earthly existence.


People in the past used to think about birth and death differently from the way we do now. They were joyous occasions to be celebrated, as birth represented the incarnation of spirit in matter, and death was the return of spirit to its
original abode and reunion with its source. Spirit was the light of creation and what animated matter, for without it, matter was lifeless. Spirit was the cause and reason for the material world, and what created the body, supported its life, and healed its ills.
