The High Risk, Low Payoff Healing Bombshell: Why You Don’t Need to Bother Poking Around in Karma to Manifest A Life You Love

You may have heard that trauma is passed down through generations and that you need to clear ancestral karma to manifest abundance and achieve things that feel constantly out of reach. But what if I told you that you don’t have to clear any of it?

The Truth About Ancestral Karma

It’s true that emotions, fears, and trauma responses can be inherited. Studies in epigenetics show that trauma can influence DNA expression across generations. However…

This only affects you if something triggers it. If you cannot relate to a feeling, thought process, belief or sensory stimulus that specific ancestral traumas are rooted in, it will never activate to become problematic in your life.

You might be wondering why I think that because it is such a bold claim to make with the amount of karmic healing work that goes on in the world. As someone who questions everything, I can certainly appreciate that.

More than a decade ago I was diagnosed with a genetic blood disorder, and honestly, it just did not make sense for me to have no symptoms of this until I was thirty years old. My genes were the same, so what’s really going on here?

Long story shot, I found an epigenetics guru, Dr Bruce Lipton, and what he described made more sense to me than anything else. Even though the epigenetics explains that our environment can trigger sequences of DNA, I wanted to know if that theory was really true.

I did some investigating for myself, I’m not getting into specifics of what I did in this article, but I wanted to see the defective chromosome that was responsible for the diagnosis I received and so I did. What I discovered blew me away. So I researched generational trauma held in chromosomes which led me to the Rat and Cherry Blossom experiment.

In this study, rats were given electric shocks when smelling cherry blossom. When they bred these rats, the offspring reacted as if they were given electric shocks simply by smelling the cherry blossom, even though the offspring were never shocked. The trauma response was passed on from one generation to the next.

What’s interesting is that if these offspring never smelt cherry blossom, they would never have had the same trauma response as its parents. The baby rats could have lived their entire lives never reacting as if they were given an electric shock. There would be no way of knowing that this trauma was even passed on.

We are no different. Unless we identify with a trigger of some sort we cannot trigger reactions or sequences of DNA to run. For me, I had related to the feeling of isolation when I was going through a difficult time at work and had no one to really to about it. That was enough to trigger the enormous volume of emotion stored in that chromosome to switch on all of the genetic blood disorder programming. If I had never felt that way, it would never have been triggered.  

The Danger of Clearing What Doesn’t Need Clearing

Many people go deep into ancestral clearing work without knowing if it’s necessary. The result?

• They introduce blocks that weren’t there before.
• They start identifying with past trauma that isn’t relevant to them or the life they live.
• Instead of feeling lighter, they get stuck in a constant cycle of clearing and start to feel hopeless about their potential to actually have what they want in life.

In a clearing group I attended, there was a strong focus on ancestral and past life trauma. Which included some very gruesome topics such as disembowelment, torture, starvation, being burnt alive and the infamous persecution imprint that many natural healers and ‘witches’ faced in various times throughout history.

The people in this group were very empathetic, which is natural for healers and coaches to experience, but in this group, some empathized so deeply with these hypothetical ancestral suffering that they started experiencing physical symptoms—skin rashes, vision problems, and even financial loss and homelessness. None of this helped them manifest success—it just created new problems they had to resolve now that they had activated a resonance to these traumas.

We can appreciate the past and have an understanding of history such as the persecution of pagans by the Romans or Salem Witch Trials in the USA. But the truth is the circumstances and way we live in now is miles apart. We have different stimuli, different cultural structures and technology compared to the past that it makes relating to those traumas incredibly difficult unless you choose to empathise with the emotions of them and what it would have been like for those people at that time.

You have no idea what past life or ancestral karma (unhealed trauma) is woven into your cells and energy field, so be mindful of the risks involved in going down this path if you are on a transformational journey.

Your imagination, especially when brining in the physical senses to the imagined scene can trigger a negative internal response in your cells and activate your DNA in ways you do not want.

The Real Key to Manifesting Your Best Life

You don’t need to clear every karmic block. Instead:

1. Stay in your own lane. Only address what’s actively interfering with your goals.
2. Focus on creating, not clearing. Achieving your goals (manifesting) is about envisioning and designing the life you want and using your creativity to bring it into the present moment.
3. Let go of unnecessary burdens. You weren’t meant to heal centuries of trauma before achieving success.
