Here is my personal Ritual to connect with the Ancestors:
First step is to be willing and open to connect with your Ancestors.
Second step is creating an Altar (this step is optional but really amplifies the energy)
Third step is connecting with your ancestors.
Finally thanking them for being part of your life.
Step 1: Be open and willing to receive signs and messages from your ancestors.
Just remember that your ancestors are eager and excited to connect with you. So there is no need to be scared or doubt their presence. Be open to connecting with them and receiving their guidance.
Step 2: Create an Altar to honor your ancestors.
This is optional but is a very powerful step to amplify the energy! An altar can be any sacred space where you can place some Spiritual symbols, offerings and your ancestor’s photos.
Use any blue or purple colored altar cloth, otherwise any other color will do too.
If you have your ancestor’s photos then you can place them on your Altar.
Place your ancestor’s staple food or favorite food of your ancestors on the altar.
Place one or more of these objects to amplify the energy. You can pick any one or more objects/symbols from each element.
Water Element- Water, Essential Oils, Fountain, Aquariums
Fire Element- Incense, Candle, image/painting of fire, flame etc.Earth Element- Crystals, Flowers, Herbs, Spices, Soil, Plants, Clay objects
Air Element- Bell, Music, Sounds of Nature, Wind Chimes (near the altar), Clapping works too
Light a blue or purple candle (white is fine too). Place one or more of the Ancestral Crystals on the altar.
Crystals that help strengthen communication with your Ancestors are Smoky Quartz, Turquoise, Amethyst, Shaman stones(also known as Moqui Marbles) and Kyanite. You can hold one of these crystals or place it on your altar.
Essential oils to use while invoking your ancestors are Frankincense(I love and trust this brand), Sandalwood, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Spikenard or Myrrh. You can also use any Root Chakra oils like Vetiver, Ginger, Patchouli as your Ancestors are associated with the Root and Earth Star Chakras. Use one or more of these on all your Chakras. mix a few drops with some carrier oil and dab it on all the Chakras.
Step 3: Third step is connecting with your ancestors
Sit down in front of your Altar/Sacred Space. Take a few deep breaths to ground your energy. Even if you are not using any other items I highly recommend lighting a candle and placing your ancestor’s photo/photos. Ask your Guides and Angels to protect you and let only the highest vibration enter your Aura.
Now close your eyes and feel their presence around you. Ask them to give you a sign. It could be goosebumps, feeling of peace, sparkling lights in your mind, some kind of sound, wind blowing harder suddenly (if you are outdoor), leaf falling on your feet or anything.
And say this aloud or make your own ” Dear Ancestors, I am ready to communicate with you. Please send me the signs that you are here. I am open to receive your wisdom and guidance in my life. Bless us and our upcoming generations. Thank you so much for connecting with me.”
Now wait. Wait until you feel their presence. How is your body reacting? Is there any change? Feeling lighter or more joyful or peaceful? Even if they don’t give you the signs right away or if you feel that you haven’t got any signs from them know that you have already invoked them and asked them for their guidance. They will appear in your life to guide you from the day of invocation. You will notice their presence later when you really need it.
Open your eyes once you feel guided to do so and write down this request on a piece of paper 8 times as 8 is the number that represents your ancestors. Burn it under the New Moon.
” Dear Ancestors, I am ready to communicate with you. Please send me the signs that you are here. I am open to receive your wisdom and guidance in my life. Bless us and our upcoming generations. Thank you so much for connecting with me.”
Mantra: If you are into chanting then you can chant this Mantra 11 times to invoke your ancestors. Here is the YouTube Video that will help you learn how to pronounce each word. This is a very Powerful way to honor and connect with your ancestors! If you are chanting this Mantra then it’s ok if you don’t follow any other steps. This Mantra alone will invoke your Ancestors. In Vedic Astrology there is something called as “Pitrudosha” which creates 5th house (children, creativity, love) problems in life if the departed ancestors have not received Moksha/Liberation at the time of passing. So this way, you would be honoring them, praying for their peace and reduce those Karmic baggage created by your Ancestral line.
Step 4: Thank them for being a part of your life
Gratitude creates miracles! Don’t forget to thank them for being there with you even if you don’t feel their presence right away! Don’t forget to ground your energy afterwards using one of the methods mentioned in the 3rd paragraph
Now watch some Magic happen!
