desertcart.com: Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing: 9781591432692: Foor, Daniel: Books

Review: An ancestor book, that respects the difference between healthy and unhealthy ancestors - In traditions with ancestor reverence, those who pass on are often healthy in spirit and OK to connect with. In other situations, there can be a long history of emotionally unwell people that make you wonder if contacting the ancestors is a safe idea. Daniel Foor has a detailed method for how to connect with healthy ancestors, and protect yourself from unhealthy energy if present in your family. He also provides the details of how anyone can work with improving the health of an unhealthy ancestral line by connecting with healthy ancestors that are further back on the line. Including how to assess if this is work your ready and able to do. The book is written for people who know nothing about this type of work, as well as those who have experience. He's trained many people in this work, and seems to be aware of the common questions that come up related to it. His explanations have can make even those who feel like they are a complete novice, learn how to connect with their ancestors in a way that makes sense for them.
Review: Practical approaches to ancestral engagement - Philosophical Pragmatism There are a handful of teachers/elders out there at this moment who are emphasizing the importance of ancestors and relating to them. Daniel is the only one I have come across who is actually teaching the practical steps of engaging them in a safe, direct, effective, compassionate, and intimate way. He generously shares dozens of powerful ways (specific rituals) to work with ancestors of blood, place and spiritual traditions. These are informed by a myriad of traditions he has studied with impressive depth (Important note here: the author is sensitive to and courageously addresses cultural issues such as appropriation/misappropriation with compassion, humility, and accountability, which is such a rarity amongst white teachers in spiritual settings). His methods are also informed by his clear connection to his own ancestor work. One of the things that the book discusses is how ancestors are basically subject-matter-experts on what our life purpose and destiny is while we are their face here on earth. And it is clear by this book that the author is well in touch with his ancestors, and is right on track with his own personal calling. Honestly, if you are looking to engage your own ancestors, this the primary book I would recommend. Non-Dogmatic Direction It is so rare to come across a book discussing spiritual ideas these days that is not New Age and full of what increasingly seems like not-very-well-thought-out advice. If anything, Daniel’s book is the opposite of new age. Rather, it is a contemplative, proactive reclamation and restoration of something much more ancient, powerful, relevant, and what to me, feels like truth. All of this said, one of the most endearing traits of the author and the book, is the recurring theme of offering up direction based on experience and research, in stark contrast to the dogmatic approach so many others seem to be taking these days. The humbleness of Daniel and the accessibility of this book in the face of the fierce competence clearly gained by years of experience and education in his field, is a worthy feat and I think it’s notable enough to mention here. Usually folks who are this competent in their respective areas of study tend to have a confidence that feels overwhelming, especially to folks new to the topic. This wasn’t the case at all with this book. It reads as much more of a sweet invitation to the work, as opposed to an onslaught of facts, inaccessible knowledge, etc. Radical Results These practices have, and consistently continue, to transform my life. I don’t share this lightly. Since embarking on this journey, building real relationships with my own ancestors based on the practices in this book, every area of my life has shifted. Many of the shifts have tended to center on figuring out why I’m here and why I am needed at this moment. I’ve learned how to step into my destiny with more purpose and have received increasingly clear direction on bringing forth the gifts that are particular to me – becoming braver and a bit more healthily unapologetic about doing what I was born to do, and understanding the ways in which I am necessary in the world at this moment. These practices and the cultivation of coming into deeper relationship with my ancestors jolted me to face the (urgent but not desperate) reality that my attendance on this Universe at this time means that my presence is mandatory, and so is the courageous bringing forth of my ‘me-ness’. Gratitude and respect to Daniel and his ancestors for bringing this book into the world at this time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant!
*by D***A on March 1, 2018*

Brilliant book! This is a topic that has desperately needed the kind of approach that the author presents: pragmatic as well as spiritual. I thoroughly enjoyed the flow and writing style. One of my favorite aspects was that the author repeatedly suggested reading the entire book *prior* to doing any of the exercises/rituals, and I agree ... by giving it a once-over first, a solid groundwork is laid, not just in the topic of relating to our ancestors but also an understanding of where the author is coming from. He seems to be very balanced in his approach and not rigid in outlook, acknowledging there are many perspectives and ways to meet our ancestors. Okay, there's a tiny bit of "judgement" regarding certain aspects, but what spiritual book doesn't have that? I mean, we all bring in our own context, but this author does a fine job of maintaining a heart-open attitude in the writing. Overall, I whole-heartedly recommend the book and I look forward to integrating many of the author's suggestions into my lineage repair work. I'm grateful to Daniel Foor for writing this book and sharing his knowledge.
