Heal Your Ancestral Roots

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Book Review: Heal Your Ancestral Roots - Release the Family Patterns That Hold You Back by Anuradha Dayal- Gulati PhD. Published by Findhorn Press. US $18.99 : Can $23.99 

The author has a doctorate in economics and is an energy practitioner and transformational coach. She has trained in flower essence therapy and constellation therapy and lives in Boston, US. 

Many of the difficulties that hold us back are rooted in our family history. This book teaches us how to recognise unconscious patterns with journaling, exercises, visualisations, mind mapping, and a Vedic ritual. Dr Anuradha gives us her autobiography and life experiences. She dedicates the book to her spiritual lineage, her ancestors, and her parents, saying that they are the wind and sails in her life and she cannot explain how much they have done for her. 

The book Heal Your Ancestral Roots, explains how to notice negativity, and why we should heal our inherited patterns. The journey ahead is to find your purpose! Information on re-writing our parental story, prayer, an altar, tarpanam, honouring, shifting perspective, self care, and other aspects of working with inherited negativity. There is also an explanation of family constellations theory. Working with flower essences, Hindu philosophy (karma) and other personal sales points are covered. 

This is a topic that interests me. A little wooly in places but recommended as a primer for more in depth work. Reviewer  Wendy Stokes https://wendystokes.co.uk
