In this episode, we're delving into the world of stress management, historical trauma, and healing with Elizabeth Kipp. Elizabeth is a specialist in trauma-trained and yoga-informed addiction recovery coaching, ancestral clearing, and compassionate inquiry. Having healed from more than 40 years of chronic pain, including anxiety, panic attacks, and addiction, Elizabeth is now in long-term recovery and guides others to unlock their healing power and freedom from suffering. In this episode, Elizabeth shares her expertise on the healing modality of ancestral clearing and its impact on releasing unresolved intergenerational trauma, with a special focus on the mother wound and fertility.
What is Ancestral Clearing?
Ancestral clearing is a Trademarked and registered energy modality also known as energy medicine, as recognized by the scientific community. The process, developed by John Newton of Health Beyond Belief, addresses the spiritual components of what's hindering healing. Essentially, we're calling in the energy of the creator or higher power to help us release what no longer serves us, employing the term 'forgive' to mean offering up these burdens. Elizabeth explains how, despite her scientific background skepticism, experiencing ancestral clearing profoundly affected her and others, describing it as repeatable and teachable. While scientific studies on this specific modality are pending, its inclusion in a Ph.D. dissertation on consciousness highlights its significance.
Understanding the Mother Wound
Elizabeth shares that ancestral clearing targets spiritual imprints from the past, which can block healing or abundance. These imprints can span back multiple generations, as observed in various cultures and spiritual traditions. She introduces the concept of the mother wound, explaining that experiences and emotional states are passed down through generations. For example, a grandmother's experiences during pregnancy can affect future generations, creating powerful connections and shared energies between mothers and daughters.
Addressing Personal Trauma
I experienced a significant rupture in my relationship with my mother. My mother went into deep depression after my birth, causing a nine-month separation. This early trauma created a profound wound, exacerbated by my mother's untreated bipolar disorder and alcoholism. This unpredictable and intense environment deeply affected my sense of self-worth." Elizabeth emphasizes the importance of addressing these wounds to break free from codependency and unhealthy relational patterns. She underscores the necessity for mothers to work on their codependency tendencies due to the intense connection with their children.
Healing Through Ancestral Clearing
Elizabeth introduces the concept of performing ancestral clearing to address these deep-seated issues. She shares a prayer for forgiving and releasing burdens, noting that this practice addresses not only the individual but also ancestral and future generations. "We use the word 'forgive' to mean offering up what no longer serves us to the divine creator. I invite everyone listening to notice any sensations in their body, take note of their intensity, and breathe normally as I recite this prayer." After the prayer, Katie and Elizabeth discuss the immediate sense of relief and relaxation it brings, demonstrating the potential impact of ancestral clearing.
Exploring Further Resources
Elizabeth is a best-selling author of "The Way Through Chronic Pain: Tools to Reclaim Your Healing Power," a valuable resource for those suffering from chronic pain or supporting someone who is. The book offers tools and insights into the mind of a chronic pain sufferer and encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of pain. She also offers a free ebook, "Ancestral Clearing Prayers," with eight prayers addressing various issues such as abundance, peace, and finding one's true self. This ebook is available on her website, encouraging readers to explore and engage with the practice. My parting words are that the greatest healer resides within you. While healthcare professionals can guide and treat, only your body truly knows how to heal."
