Jeanne Ruland - Ancestral Healing for Your Spiritual and Genetic Families

I would like to dedicate this small book to the ALOHA SPIRIT and the AUMAKUA, the ancestors, who came before us and prepared our path.

I dedicate this small book to the one power, the great love that creates and maintains us and that is our true being. Love leads us toward experience and blesses all that exists. Love is the greatest creative force, and we live through love. Love is the strongest healing power in the universe, leading us on our own very individual spiritual path and ultimately bringing us home into our true being.

I would like to thank my paternal grandparents with all my heart. They always believed in and supported me; they carried me, protected me, and encouraged and helped shape me. They were always there for me, giving me love, a sense of security, and the courage to follow my own path in life and live the way I was born to live. Thank you for all the love that I was privileged to experience because of you.

I bless the other ancestors whose blood has commingled in my veins and I thank my parents for giving me the life that I have taken into my own two loving hands. I pass the love that I have experienced and that lives within me to my children so that all those who come after me may have a part of it. I bless you.

I would like to thank my AUMAKUA, my spiritual ancestors, who are part of my OHANA, my family. I have a connection to the powers of the Earth and of the universe, and I thank the whole line of my spiritual ancestors for all the initiations, deep inner experiences, and insights that have illuminated my path and forged a link to my spiritual powers and abilities, my true heritage. I honor and bless my spiritual ancestors.

May this blessing flow into every realm, level, and dimension. May these lineages heal and rise into the light, and, when the time is right, may we reconnect with one another in light and love. May this small book open our eyes and bless and enrich us on many levels and in many dimensions. I honor you, Aumakua, ancestors and spiritual forebears who came before us and made my path straight, and I dedicate this book to you.

I thank you, those ancestors who came before me, for the gifts of life and love.

There would be no me without you, and from the bottom of my heart I honor and revere your lives as they were lived. I thank you sincerely for permitting me as your descendant, through your very existence, to learn so much of the mystery of life, the distortions of love, and the blessing of redemption through love.

In particular, I would like to thank the ancestors from my paternal grandmothers lineage, who were priests. You have long been a source of comfort and blessing, of light, and of support.

I thank you, my spiritual ancestors and teachers on my path, who through training and initiation have led me to a deeper understanding of the spiritual path we follow as human beings.

I thank my soul for all the many valuable and insightful memories from the past; these are the parts that make up my potential as a whole, slowly reassembling themselves, bit by bit, piece by piece.

I now feel deeply connected with Heaven and Earth, with the angels and the Ascended Masters. I feel nourished and blessed by your spiritual lineages.

I have been granted permission to learn that unfulfilled love in family systems ultimately sends us on a quest for the one true lasting love.

That I am currently following this path of memory, as are so many other people, is a great gift, particularly since we have been lacking love for so long and in such pain.

And so we grow in understanding of our true selves. May everything that heals within us be a source of light, inspiration, and a blessing for everyone on this incredibly beautiful planet who takes this path home with and after us.

May we all remember who we really are.

Remember:

You are light from light

Love from love...

What happened earlier in your life does not matter.

Your outward appearance is of no importance.

What other people say about you is irrelevant. Within your innermost being, you bear the spark of God, radiant, unchanging, and pure.

Step into the place given to you by God. Take up your life in your loving hands and open yourself. Receive the blessing of Heaven and Earth. Remember. Awaken.

Enter the hallowed halls of initiation in your heart. Your higher self, your inner teacher, resides within you, waiting for you to reach out and make contact.

You can shape your life in love, peace, and joy, and pass on your light to other people.

Everything is already within you.

AUMAKUAthe blessing and potential of our being

You who came before us and made straight our path, we thank and bless you. We are ready to accept our potential in all its magnitude and power, awakening the true power within us and playing our part in the grand plan.

Why do we use the word Aumakua? It comes from the Hawaiian and is an umbrella term for the energy of the Higher Self in which the liberated powers of the wisdom of both our spiritual ancestors and our family forebears are gathered. Along with our physical forebears, our spiritual ancestors may also include animal spirits, plant beings, minerals, Natures realms, angelic realms, the ranks of the masters, the starry skies above, traditions of healers and priests from many cultures, and more. Aumakua describes the entire potential that is within us, inside the very cells in our body, an awakening through which we are united with our souls. The term Aumakua is more exhaustive and extensive than others used to describe ancestors and heirs. This book addresses our ancestral lineage, our true and divine heritage, and the potential within us, on a human, spiritual, and mental level. When we recognize who we are and where we come from, we will finally understand why we are here.
