Why pray to the ancestors?

People are connected to their past in the same way they are to their parents and ancestors. These connections remind us of our genetic and spiritual heritage, thus awakening feelings and beliefs that are part of our ancestry and that directly influence our lives.

Therefore, the life of every human being is linked to his ancestor, so thanking his roots that originated us is a commitment we have to preserve our full life and keep the spirit free.

The prayer to the ancestors would then be a way to show your gratitude. Learn several prayers exposed here in this article for you to reach fullness in your life. Check it out!

Prayer of gratitude to the ancestors

Gratitude is one of the ways that Buddhism acts in order for you to demonstrate your fullness in relation to life. This stimulus is also directed to your ancestors through the prayer that you will learn in the following!

Indications

In Buddhism, it is believed that we all have a deep connection to the universe and all that is part of it. This interdependent relationship demonstrates the importance of exercising gratitude to our ancestors.

Therefore, when you chant the words of this prayer you need to be at peace with yourself. Only then will the appropriate energy be transferred to your ancestors and you will ensure that they achieve the peace of mind necessary to attain enlightenment.

Meaning

First, a gesture of gratitude begins for your parents, grandparents, and all those who came before them. Gratitude exists for the fact that their decisions and dreams have directly influenced your present and who you are at this point in your life.

However, the pains and sorrows of your ancestors cannot be denied either, being then relived by you in this prayer. But despite all evil, a new hope opens up, for now you are the light that will guide your history and that of those who came before you.

Prayer

Prepare the environment, preserve silence and distance yourself from the distractions that assault your mind. At the time of the prayer concentrate to the maximum on these words and bless your ancestors with these wonderful words that follow below:

Gratitude dear parents, grandparents and other ancestors for having woven my path, immense gratitude for the immensity of their dreams that somehow are my reality today.

From this point and with much love, I give light to the sadness that there was in past generations, I give light to the anger, the premature departures, the unspoken names, the tragic destinies.

I give light to the arrow that cut paths and made the sidewalk easier for us.

I give light to joy, to stories repeated over and over.

I shed light on the unspoken and family secrets.

I shed light on the stories of violence and brokenness between couples, parents and children, and between siblings, and may it be time and love that brings them back together.

I give light to all the memories of limitation and poverty, to all the destructuring and negative beliefs that permeate my family system.

Here and now I sow a new hope, joy, unity, prosperity, surrender, balance, boldness, faith, strength, overcoming, love, love and love.

May all past and future generations be now, this instant covered with a rainbow of lights that heal and restore body, soul and all relationships.

May the strength and blessing of each generation always reach and inundate the next generation.

Meaning

Allow yourself to relive the memories of your parents and grandparents, revisit the stories of your ancestors. Acknowledgement is the first stage of prayer, so you will be preparing for forgiveness and declare all the love and gratitude for the existence of your ancestors.

The understanding and acceptance of this timeline that you have built up demonstrates maturity. Now, you know what needs to be done to distance any evil from your life and your ancestors.

Prayer

Before you begin your Ho'oponopono prayer in honor of your ancestors, remember your parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents and your ancestors. Do not exclude any of them from your mind and so say:

Today I want to honor all my family, especially my ancestors. I come from you, you are my origin.

When they arrived before me, they provided me with the path on which I am now traveling.

Today, I give a place in my heart and in my family system to each of you.

Today, I honor those who did it right and those who did it wrong.

To those who are gone and those who remain. To the abusers and the abused.

To the good guys and the bad guys.

To the rich and the poor.

To the unsuccessful and the successful.

To the healthy and the sick.

To those I've met and those I haven't.

To those who made it and those who didn't.

I honor each of you, and most of all, any of you who have been excluded for any reason.

I would not be here if you had not come before me. I will take you all with me in every step I take and in every thing I do.

From this day forward, every step I take on my right foot, I take it with my father and my father's entire family.

Every step I take with my left foot, I take it with my mother and my mother's family, respecting everyone's destinies.

I ask that you give me your blessing to be the healthiest, most successful, loved, loving and generous person in the world.

I will do this in honor of you by putting my family name and roots up high.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you father, thank you mother. Eternally grateful. Thank you to my ancestors.

So be it!

I'm sorry, forgive me, I love you, I'm grateful!

Perform this ritual at least once a day for 21 days. In this way, you will achieve liberation from your sins and from those who came before you.

Prayer to the ancestors for gratitude and breaking curses

Indications

They can be done in many ways and can affect several areas of your life such as employment, marriage, health and family. If you realize that your life is falling apart, that nothing is working out and that fights without reason are happening around you, resort to this prayer urgently.

Meaning

Prayer

In the name of God, in the name of our Self, which today awakens to the wisdom of the laws, we bring you, ancestors, thanks for all the hereditary factors that you have transmitted to us.

We thank you, ancestors so far away getting lost in the infinite ages ago.

To you disembodied ancestors, we send this message:

If you have not found God in the turmoil of the physical world, seek Him now in the laws of the plane in which you are today.

Removed from the physical world, you transcend it, forgetting your fears and agitations.

Do not rush to act according to earthly molds, seek for guides.

Seek them with the pertinacity of one who desires a shaft of light in a dark night.

They will lead you to fulfill your role in the manifestation of God in this universe that we and you, the ancestors, inhabit.

We love you!

To you, ancestors who live beside us:

Let us serve together our family, our country, our fellow evolvers with the same humility with which Jesus washed the feet of his disciples.

Let us finally do together the action glorified by impersonal love. We are very grateful to you for this reunion!

We thank you mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, for your womb, for the tabernacle in which you sheltered our family group in embryo. (Here, let us pause in our speaking to think about your figures).

Thanks to you, we give you father, grandfather, great-grandfather for the creative gene that has expressed itself through you. (Here, let us stop the speech to think about your figures).

In the name of the divine archetype that our Self seeks to attain, we thank you, our innumerable and beloved ancestors, for our body, for this temple that houses the Eternal Spirit in us and in you.

Through all the experiences we have lived together, may the great "Law of Universal Oneness" be fulfilled in us.

In this moment, with gratitude, we lend the light of our own critical consciousness to help them.

We love you!

How to say a prayer to the ancestors correctly?

Often, we do not value our past, forgetting the history of those who lived before us and belittling the knowledge and values they left us. This is behavior that can bring spiritual harm to you and your family, which is why prayer is important.

With the prayer to the ancestors, you come to value your lineage and understand that you are part of a series of events that are beyond your control. You became who you are today thanks to them and now it is up to you to continue that bond.

Then, believing in your ancestors, you come to value your past. Soon, recognition and gratitude become unique feelings that will be invoked by you for them and vice versa.
