The Unseen

What if our junk DNA is a treasure trove waiting to be unlocked?

Ancestral healing is an ancient practice still prevalent in indigenous communities around the world and is now becoming a flourishing topic in the expanding field of wholistic wellness. This powerfully redeeming practice has burst forth from oppressed cultures to flower throughout the same dominant cultures which have colonized them for hundreds, in some cases, thousands of years.

Among the most leading-edge mystical practitioners, doctors and healers in this transformational sphere are:

• Austrian Teacher and Author, Thomas Hübl Ph.D.
• Clinical psychotherapist and Native American Elder Eduardo Duran Ph.D.
• Mystic, Teacher, Poet and Founder of The Gene Keys, Richard Rudd.

Thomas Hübl, author of Attuned: Practicing Interdependence to Heal our Trauma – and our World and Healing Collective Trauma: A Process for Integrating Our Intergenerational and Cultural Wounds. Hübl promotes the practice of connecting with your lineage and heritage and believes understanding and integrating ancestral healing is an indelible aspect of the journey in returning to wholeness. His theories and techniques for attunement and interconnectedness are recognized worldwide. At its core, his teachings convey that healing naturally takes place when we look within with presence and acknowledge and allow space for whatever is there to be.

Eduardo Duran, author of Healing the Soul Wound: Trauma Informed Counselling for Indigenous Communities discusses substance use, intergenerational trauma and internalized oppression as effects of war and genocide. Duran introduces the 14 generations idea, that we are deeply connected to our ancestors, seven generation back and seven generations forward, giving us a sacred opportunity to heal them through the process of healing ourselves.

Richard Rudd , Author and founder of the Gene Keys: Embracing the Higher Purpose Hidden in Your DNA, spontaneously received a wisdom transmission, showing him how each human comes into the world with a unique genetic sequence full of infinite potential. The Gene Keys has been dispersed to the world as a new framework and language for transformation. Within each Gene Key is a Shadow, a Gift and a Siddhi. The Shadow represents subconscious patterns of victimization which contains the Gift which is released through the healing of the Shadow. The Siddhi is the final manifestation of the Gene Key, beyond all duality. This system of contemplation employs the universal idea that the wound itself contains the medicine.

While it may seem as if we are somehow at the mercy of the inescapable fate of our lineage, this process reveals that we are only victims to the degree that we disown our inherited genetic memory. Paradoxically, the purging of the shadows lies in the power of accepting them. These teachers have provided treasure maps, pointing the way through my mother’s and my own ancestral healing process, which has lead us down some fascinating and unexpected roads, and has shown us how to forge new pathways to quiet inner places we never could have imagined.
