What Is Ancestral Healing in Holistic Wellness?

Ancestral healing is one of the fastest-growing holistic practices in the U.S., shown by a 62% increase in Google searches for “ancestral healing” in 2024–2025. This modality focuses on releasing inherited emotional patterns, family trauma, and generational energy stored in the body and subconscious. At Aura Holistic in Aurora, ancestral healing supports individuals navigating identity, emotional heaviness, or repetitive life patterns.

How Ancestral Healing Works

Studies on epigenetics — particularly research from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine — show that trauma can be passed through generations via gene expression patterns. Ancestral healing addresses these inherited emotional imprints through:

• Energy healing

• Guided visualization

• Intuitive channeling

• Somatic processing

• Breathwork

• Cord-release techniques

The goal is to break family cycles, lighten emotional burdens, and restore personal autonomy.
