Ancestor Messages

Lately I've been having some interesting experiences regarding ancestor messages. To preface, I'm not a medium. I don't know that I have mediumship abilities. The dead have generally not bothered me in this lifetime, and I'm not in contact with them like some other people are. However...

That appears to be changing. Something is happening to my ability to communicate with my guides, higher self, angels. It's expanding.

Here's an experience from last Saturday:

I had this interesting experience last night while winding down the evening. I was sitting on the couch with my husband watching a show called "Kindred Spirits"--one of those ghost investigation shows. In this show, the team was investigating a house that was seeing activity. Well in the show the following sentence stood out very loudly to me: "You have a whole family reunion of people who love you surrounding you right now."

While this statement was directed at the people in the show, I have learned over the last year that this is how my guides grab my attention and give me guidance. They make phrases stand out and "feel" LOUD in my perception so I know it's being directed at me specifically.

I noticed what was said, and thought "I probably do." All of the sudden, I felt someone was standing right behind my right shoulder behind the couch. In my head I heard "doot doot!"...which is the sound my grandma used to make when she tickled me as a kid. My grandma died when I was in my early 20s, and I had been distanced from her due to family drama since I was 12. Haven't had any visitations from her before. (Not like great-grandma who visited me in my dreams for a bit after she died.)

Well, I was being visited. I could feel her right there behind me. I knew it was her without a doubt. She wanted me to know I was doing a good job at getting rid of the generational curse and she was proud.

I make no claim to being a medium. I certainly don't experience the dead in my life much...not the way others do. I tend to be on the ET end of the spectrum instead. But grandma came to visit, and all the baggage that used to hang between us was gone. It was nice.

Now we come to this morning.

I sat down to do my morning tarot reading for myself. This is something I do almost every morning as a meditative practice and to see what is coming down my path. Most of the time, the message is strictly personal to things occurring in my immediate environment or within myself. Lately, I'm seeing these readings expand in scope where I might receive information about world events. Or, in this case, my ancestors might show up with a message.

How do I know someone's "shown up" in a reading? I look for the Page of Swords. The Page of Swords is a "messenger", and when that card shows up, that means there's some being hanging around me that has a specific message they want to convey as part of the reading. To figure out what the message is, all I need to do is ask "What is the message?", shuffle, then draw a few cards.

What surprised me was this time I could actually feel the beings there around me. I could feel who was there and I could even see them in my mind--faintly, like looking through smoky glass. Grandma was back. She brought with her two other women. One was my great-great-great-great(?) grandma who was a Cherokee woman. The other was a star being so ancient, tiny, and shriveled she could have come from a million years ago in the past.

What was their message? It was similar to the one my grandma offered before, only this time in more detail: "Thank you so much for showing us the generational curse. We understand the dynamic now. We see how it happened to us and how we kept it alive. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." And just endless gratitude from these grandmas of varying distances.

What is the curse? It's not something I'm ready to talk about just yet. I'm still in the thick of the matter. When I have sufficiently healed and understood the pattern, I will discuss it in detail.
