Foreword
As a psychotherapist for over 35 years, I have experienced how disruptive family systems can be when transferred from generation to generation due to pivotal choices, trauma and or life- changing decisions. Family systems may have a positive or negative effect for individuals by affecting attitudes, behaviors, parenting, relationships, health and career choices. Fears that are passed on can have a dramatic effect, influencing one’s life styles, obstructing belief systems, and strengthening negative parenting styles to maintain dysfunctional systems.
As a psychotherapist, I have worked with students and clients who have demonstrated such behavioral issues. As an adjunct professor I had a student in class who had a family genealogy going back 8 generations to the time the Huguenots came to America. One of his ancestors was a mother who had lost 13 of 14 children en route to America. This trauma resulted in an extremely dysfunctional overprotection pattern. This pattern was transmitted through the family to the student, which then had to be dealt with in the present.
Another client had a relative in an insane asylum during the 17th century, where she was physically and sexually abused. As a survival mechanism, she tried to become as invisible or as unnoticeable as possible. This client manifested the ‘invisibility’ qualities in her physical appearance. She was reserved, slim, had forward hunched-shoulders, a flat chest, and a doormat personality. In my practice, we were able through hypnosis to negate the past generational family influence, and she started standing upright with straight shoulders, and became outgoing, assertive and successful.
I also had a client who brought in her pregnant fifteen-year-old daughter. The grandmother, mother, and now the daughter had all become pregnant by fifteen. They were the product of the same oppressive parenting system designed to prevent the teenage daughters from becoming pregnant, thereby creating the very act they feared. I educated the daughter about the oppressive patterns that had invited the behavior resulting in her pregnancy at a young age, and helped changed the parenting behavior of both mother and daughter.
Generational dysfunctional family systems need to be resolved, and, in my experience, there are multiple ways to solve these issues. As a psychotherapist, I have eclectic orientations, techniques, interventions and methods. As a spiritual teacher, I recognize that there are other modalities that can affect individuals and their relationships.
Families create the foundation and building blocks of our character. They are the vehicles, the working ground, for all that we do in life and how we do it. We can be profoundly affected by life-changing decisions made by our ancestors; and, yet, we can do something to change these effects that obstruct and interfere with creating successful relationships. Families are important aspects of our lives and our well-being. Healing family wounds can be beneficial and result in better health and greater happiness. Healing Family Patterns: Ancestral Lineage Clearing for Personal Growth offers an alternative method to traditional psychotherapy.
In this book, Ariann Thomas shows us how our ancestors have experienced trauma, adversity and life-changing decisions that may adversely affect us and be or passed down from generation to generation. Ariann weaves in her own life stories as well as those she guided through the Ancestral Lineage Clearing process with their experiences. She illustrates how aspects of the self—mental, emotional, physical and spiritual—all interact to create who we are. The case histories are intriguing and demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
The book goes through the theory and application of healing family patterns clearly and interestingly to keep the reader’s attention. The book lays out a program of clearing negative patterns in an insightful and straightforward manner. I recommend it to those readers interested in reviewing and healing their personal family histories and patterns.

Introduction
Welcome to Healing Family Patterns: Ancestral Lineage Clearing for Personal Growth. This book is the outgrowth of the continuing search for healing and personal growth in my own life. I came from a typical Midwestern American family with its unique idiosyncrasies. My parents did the best they could to raise eight children (one boy and seven girls) within a nuclear family after World War II. Much of my story is told throughout the book.
After I grew up and left the family, I journeyed to many parts of the country for school and work. I learned many facts, and had my share of success and pain. The knowledge I gained in school and at work helped me manage my way in the material world of business, as well as managing my finances and running a house. Emotionally I was a mess. I adopted many of my family’s coping mechanisms of co-dependency, addiction, martyrdom, lack of self-esteem, poverty-consciousness and other patterns that crippled me in seeking personal happiness.
About twenty years ago, a history of generational sexual abuse came out in my family. Because of my background and training as an attorney I recognized the symptoms of sexual abuse, so I was not totally surprised. This created an upheaval and split in the family that was unresolved even years later at the time of my parents’ death. Although I was not directly involved, I was certainly affected by the atmosphere of shame, secrecy, abuse and trauma.
As a result of this family pattern I held an unconscious belief that nothing would go right for long, and that something disastrous would always lie ahead to take away my happiness, success and achievement. This was a major stumbling block in my life. After much soul searching, I cried out during a meditation for Spirit to help me. I was given a meditation that later became this process of Healing Family Patterns, which I call Ancestral Lineage Clearing. It helped me understand the sexual abuse history in my family and, more importantly, to release the energy from my body and my energy system so that I could be free. I could also forgive my parents, grandparents and the other relatives involved. After much healing, I came to value my family and the ties to my past. I saw how my past had shaped my life, my views, my choices and my present happiness.
Healing Family Patterns is a natural outgrowth of my journey of learning, exploration and deep spiritual healing. I have healed my body, mind and spirit, using Western medicine, chiropractic, alternative medicine, psychology, sound medicine, crystal healing, soul retrieval, symbols, energy work, Reiki, massage, Rolfing, Healing Touch, and a variety of other techniques and modalities. All of these have been useful and effective in their time and place.
What I have learned from my own healing is that all healing comes from within. When we heal our hearts, we heal our bodies. So, how do we do this? One of the first places to start is with the family. The family is the model of our inner self. It is the representation of our Sacred Feminine (the mother) and Divine Masculine (the father) energies as represented by our parents.
The Sacred Feminine is the Mother principle of nurturing, caring, healing, holding space for growth and all possibilities, holding safety and security, the warmth of home and hearth—the holder of unconditional love. The Mother Love principle gives us the place to learn and grow at our own pace, in a holistic way, seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and feeling. It is sensuous, in the “now,” verbal, right-brain, creative and expansive.
The Divine Masculine is the Father principle of action, creation, motivation, stimulation, focus, encouragement, aggression, thinking, engineering, linear thinking and action, development, left-brain, accomplishment and achievement.
When we are children, mothers try to keep us from climbing the tree lest we get hurt; fathers encourage us to climb higher to test our skills and courage. We need both reasonable limits and enthusiastic encouragement.
When the family is balanced and harmonious, their creation—the children—are happy, productive and creative. When the Sacred Feminine and Divine Masculine are unbalanced and are not in harmony, then strife, unhappiness and unhealthiness result.
Since our Western culture has not recognized or valued the Sacred Feminine for many generations, most of us have come from homes that have experienced this imbalance. Once we heal our family history at its core we are open to experience the happiness and joy that comes from the balance between the Sacred Feminine and the Divine Masculine.
We need to find both aspects within ourselves before we can build a strong family with happy and creative children. By healing our family patterns we begin to create this inner balance and pass it along to our children, grandchildren, and those generations who follow after us.
My purpose in writing this book is to help you, the reader, heal those family patterns that are interfering in your present life, so that you can reach greater joy, health, prosperity and love in your life. My other purpose is to heal the rift within each of us between the Sacred Feminine and Divine Masculine that creates such negative family patterns. When we heal individually, our families also heal.
To your healing, happiness and joy,

Disclaimer
I want to clearly state at the outset that the opinions, methods and techniques in this book are all mine. They are my OPINIONS. Healing Family Pattern: Ancestral Lineage Clearing for Personal Growth is about an energetic healing system and is not intended to treat present physical, mental or emotional illness or dis-eases. It is based upon my own personal experience and the experiences of my family, friends and clients over the years.
I am saddened that in our culture that the government must intrude into the healing relationship between healer and client. I believe we are coming into the time when many of us are taking personal responsibility for our lives and our healing. However, having said that, I still want to ensure that I undertake my responsibility to meet the requirement of the law for whenever the term healing appears.
That said, Ancestral Lineage Clearing has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Continue seeing all medical and mental health care practitioners and taking prescribed medications while reading this book, having sessions or practicing the techniques described in this book.

PART ONE: HEALING FAMILY PATTERNS THROUGH ANCESTRAL LINEAGE CLEARING
Chapter I: Healing Family Patterns: Using Ancestral Lineage Clearing to bring Greater Health, Wealth and Love into your Life
Present World Transition and Personal Crises
At this time in our history momentous events are occurring. There are natural disasters of unusual power, frequency and strength, as well as global warming and weather changes, world-wide financial crises, political upheavals and personal re-evaluations. I have found that when the world seems to be more chaotic than usual, we all tend to look inward for healing our personal lives since the world seems out of control.
As the world transformation approaches and continues in this challenging time, I believe humanity is feeling an intuitive need to clear out stale, negative and unhealthy energy, and seeks a new way of living in love and harmony. Innumerable healing books, techniques, modalities and theories abound today, because we are searching for ways to heal our bodies and our spirits.
Many healing modalities such as herbal remedies and meditation available today have been around for thousands of years, while it seems others are discovered daily. The medical community appears to discover new dis-eases all the time—or, perhaps just continues to improve in diagnosing the body’s discomforts.
Often when life seems overwhelming, illness, financial problems and relationship malfunctions become more obvious. Healing our lives tends to become a priority.
By healing our own lives, we become the very solution to the world’s problems. As we heal ourselves, we heal those around us, thereby healing the cause of conflict and distress within the Earth and in others. The more peaceful and joyous our lives become, the more we spread peace and harmony throughout the world. The great philosophers and masters of the world have been teaching this concept for centuries.
The technique of Healing Family Patterns (also called ‘Ancestral Lineage Clearing’) as explained and set out here is one of a number of healing modalities for your own personal growth. However, the stories from the sessions with my clients are the most valuable part of this book. Actual accounts of clients’ journeys into their ancestors’ past and how their family patterns were changed as a result of this healing method will show how this healing method truly works, though the clients’ names and all identifying information have been changed to protect their privacy.
I hope you will find this process beneficial for your life, too.
Family Patterns and Choosing Your Original Family
We all choose our families before we incarnate on earth. Family is both the most important gift and the greatest obstacle in our lives. The most important and deepest healing takes place around issues concerning families.
Despite all its challenges, the family of your childhood is always your greatest gift. You are who you are today because of this family.
The one commonality everyone in this world shares is family. Most of us know our biological family and grew up with them. Some did not. We all have a family of some type, even though we may be separated, estranged or removed from the family into which we were born or with whom we grew up. Even if we do not know our biological family, we were probably raised with another family, whether an adoptive family or a foster family.
There are many different kinds of families, from small nuclear families of one parent and one child, to huge extended families of numerous relatives, including grandmothers and grandfathers, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, cousins, nieces and nephews, all living and growing up communally.
Some grew up rich or poor, loved or abandoned, in a home or on a street, well fed or half-starved, educated or ignorant, hard-working or lazy, healthy or ill, somewhere on this earth.
No matter how, where or when we grew up, our family of origin and the primary family that raised us had a tremendous impact on who we are now, what we believe, our present values, our health, our attitudes toward work, marriage, children, relationships, religions, and a myriad of other things great and small in our lives.
To a large degree our attitudes about satisfaction with life, happiness with family, loving relationships and self-image, come from our early training and the messages we received from our parents. If we received validation and love in our early years, then the world is a wonderful place waiting for us to make our mark. If we were abused, neglected, dismissed, ignored or put down, then our self-image and our view of the world are distorted.
Healing family patterns around issues and challenges that are common to family members, frees a tremendous amount of energy for all family members and allows multiple people to heal at one time.
Healing Family Patterns through Ancestral Lineage Clearing to Improve Our Lives
Healing Family Patterns by requesting help from your ancestors is not a new technique. It has been practiced for hundreds, if not thousands, of years in other cultures under different names. Buddhists have a specific ritual to remove the negative influence from ancestors. A ritual called Shadow Removal has been practiced for hundreds of years in rural areas of Latin and Caribbean countries. And, a variety of Shamanic practices are done under an assortment of names.
Many psychologists use a similar technique in dealing with family pattern emotional issues. Although not similar in process, it is comparable to Hellinger Family Constellation Dynamics. I have recently learned of a similar process called Resetting Family Patterns. This tells me that others have also recognized the value of getting in touch with old family issues to heal present ills.
The process I have developed along with other similar practices is called Ancestral Lineage Clearing.
How Healing Family Patterns and Ancestral Lineage Clearing Started
So, how did I learn to heal my family patterns by the process I now term ‘Ancestral Lineage Clearing’? I discovered this healing method when I asked for help from Spirit during a meditation.
I began my healing journey in my late 20s and early 30s after completing undergraduate and law school and getting my first job. I suffered from migraine headaches in law school from stress, overwork and probably reading too much. I was getting two to three migraines a week with visual and auditory distortions. I lost 25 pounds in 3 months as a result of the nausea and lack of appetite.
While in school I went to the medical teaching hospital for the headaches. After running numerous diagnostic tests, the doctors gave me daily medication for classical migraines and sent me on my way. I decided I was not going to live my life dependent upon medication, so when I started working I found a M.D. who taught me bio-feedback and auto hypnosis, which later morphed into a daily meditation practice.
Throughout the following decades, I continued to study other alternative healing methods such as Healing Touch, Reiki and various forms of energy. After a health crisis in my 40s left me disabled with joint problems, chronic pain and depression, I continued to investigate alternative healing techniques. Without a daily practice of meditation, exercise, supplements, medication and various alternative healers, I would still be non-functional and housebound today.
One of the most profound insights I discovered on my healing journey was that I must take responsibility for my own healing. No one can heal me. I can only heal myself.
True healers from every culture absolutely believe this and empower their patients with this belief. Not all health providers necessarily support this belief.
After years of exploring various physical, mental and emotional healing modalities, I felt there was still something missing. I had some deep emotional issues that were preventing my complete physical healing. I had used psychological and spiritual therapy, soul retrieval, past life regression, sound medicine, life readings, astrology, massage, cranial-sacral work and other forms of therapy; however, these healing methods could not seem to reach some core issues.
During these years I found a deep spiritual connection with the Native American traditions. As I am part Cherokee, the Native Way appealed to me. So, in I cried out for help and guidance from Great Spirit, the Divine, Creator one of my meditations, God, or whatever you may choose to name the Source.
I understood at the time that some issues were deeply rooted in our family history. These matters became entrenched until they were established family patterns. We often fail to recognize these family patterns because everyone around us lives their lives within that pattern. For example, if everyone in your family eats dog food, you think it is normal to eat dog food until someone shows you differently.
For several months I had been feeling restless and anxious. I knew from past experience that this was a precursor to a healing breakthrough of some type. I also felt that the next healing step had something to do with my family.
About twenty years prior I learned about the generational sexual abuse prevalent in my family. My maternal grandfather had abused my mother, and my maternal grandfather, uncle and my father had then abused several of my sisters. I also suspected involvement of other family members that had not been confirmed. During this same period, I was having a number of dreams about my deceased parents and other family members.
The disclosure of sexual abuse had devastated our family and torn it apart. At the time of my father’s death, out of eight children, only one sister and I had been in communication with our parents. And, at the time of my mother’s death, I was the only child who was speaking to her.
Although I had not been part of the sexual abuse pattern, I had recently uncovered memories of early pre-verbal physical abuse. I had of course also been affected by the sexual abuse of others in the family; and, even though I did not believe that for years, I learned otherwise.
I had been meditating regularly for 25 years, initially to reduce pain from migraines. One day while meditating, I asked Spirit to show me what I needed to learn. I went into a deep, deep meditation, and journeyed into the past.
(For years I had understood and believed that time was not linear and I studied quantum mechanics theory as a layperson. However, I confess that the mathematics of quantum mechanics is way beyond my comprehension.)
I instinctively sought the person with whom, or where, the sexual abuse and domination had originated in the family. In my meditation, I saw a gathering of women in a forest. They were dressed in long dresses or skirts of a very long time ago. I knew intuitively that it was in Europe, about 450 years ago.
The Women’s Curse
The women came individually into the clearing, secretly, silently, in the shadow of the full moon. The group had done this before many times and they knew each other well.
An elder spoke:
“She is dead. They hanged her today.”
Several women burst into tears; there were gasps of outrage from others, and still others moaned in despair. Someone (me?) stepped forward and said,
“Alright, now is the time for us to decide what to do. Killing Alea is just the beginning. If the men feel we are a threat to their power to such an extent that their only recourse is to lock us up or take our lives, we must protect ourselves and our daughters.”
There was much discussion and arguing about whether it was only Alea‘s vicious husband behind the hanging, or whether the men of the town had supported him in having her declared a witch so he could get his hands on her property, which she controlled with an iron fist.
Her husband had always felt useless because of her money, so he had beaten her. Since she had been born into a wealthy family and looked down on others, she was considered arrogant. The men generally sided with her husband, so when he accused her of witchcraft, others took up the cry and no man would defend her. The Sheriff used this as an excuse to condemn her to death and to teach the women a lesson to stay in their rightful place.
The mood of the world was shifting against women healers, holy women and property owners. The church, the judicial system and the king seemed to be slowly altering the laws and the political system to strip whatever independence women had. Even widows could no longer reside in their husbands’ homes without the consent of their sons.
Rumors came from far away that women were burned as witches for healing with herbs and potions. If this were so, many in their gathering who kept the rites of the Ancient Goddess of the Moon, though Christian too, were likely candidates for burning or hanging.
I knew my husband loved me, but he greatly preferred our sons over our daughters. He would gladly leave all the property to them if he could, leaving our daughters to the mercy of whatever their husbands would do, good or bad.
The welfare of women was not considered by the men in their creation of laws and by the churches’ edits. They cannot protect other women from the injustices of weak men who beat or bully their wives and children, or leave them to starve. If the good men cannot protect women, then we must protect ourselves.
After what seemed hours of discussion, we decided it was time to call upon the Goddess to protect us and our daughters.
We pooled our energy and called upon the Goddess that night. We demanded that women be able to influence men to care for and protect us and our daughters.
We pleaded for the power of our most potent weapons: our bodies. Through sex and sexuality we wanted to control and convince men to do what is right, fair and just and to help us care for others who could not care for themselves. We asked that this power be transferred from us to our daughters, and to our daughters’ daughters, and on down to the women of generations to come.
The women basically asked for the power to manipulate men out of their own fears of death, destruction, poverty and helplessness.
Then I saw the situation backfire. In future generations some women only had sons, so the curse, power or influence passed on to the men. The men obtained the power to manipulate without the consciousness of the powerlessness of women behind it. These men, too, feared death, destruction, poverty and helplessness. Again, they took their fears out on women. They used the sexual power of manipulation to control and subjugate women even more so. But the situation originated with us, the women in the circle.
The irony was that the cure of sexual manipulation began in an attempt to protect women, and turned into another form of abuse. I knew as well that manipulation of anyone for another’s purpose, no matter what the intent, interferes with the other’s free will and is wrong.
As I came out of the meditation, I prayed to the Goddess to lift the curse, protection prayer or whatever it was called, and to restore balance between men and women in my family. I clearly heard the Goddess say yes with a smile in her voice.
After this meditation and the clearing of my energy, I felt so much better. A great weight was lifted from me. The restless and anxiety was gone. My fatigue was better and I had much more energy.
I asked myself: was this real? Was this a dream or wishful thinking? Or, was this just Spirit’s way of showing me a vision of how it might have happened, and then a way for me to clear it energetically from my field? I didn’t know what to think.
About three days later, one of my younger sisters, Julie, called me. A powerful healer in her own right, she asked me, “What have you been doing? Have you been doing some healing work lately?” She didn’t know that I had done this ancestor clearing. She went on to tell me that she had felt ‘something’ shift about three days earlier. She didn’t know what had happened, but she was feeling better, lighter and clearer. Julie lives about 1500 miles away from me.
Julie was also working with a healing therapist at the time, dealing with issues arising from the family sexual abuse issue. When she had her next session during which the issue arose, the therapist began following the energy they had been working on and told her, “Oh, that’s been cleared up. We don’t have anything else to do there. Yes, it looks like it was about 400 years ago. It’s done. We can move on...” So, even her therapist verified that the energy had been cleared.
This confirmed to me that Ancestral Lineage Clearing worked, and that others could feel the results when the energy was cleared from the person’s energetic field and their body. I was very excited as I continued to practice returning to my ancestors to clear out family issues that were affecting me as well as other family members.
I had been working with crystals for almost 20 years and began using crystals to hold and maintain the new energy as I cleared out the old energy patterns. My lineage clearing system was quickly developing. I began to ‘practice’ on friends, doing lineage clearing on their issues. It was fascinating to see how quickly and efficiently the process removed stuck patterns.
About two months after the initial clearing, I got a call from a friend who referred her friend, Kathleen Casey, to me. Kathleen was coming to Sedona to do a workshop on Ancestral Lineage Clearing. She needed a local reference and contact, and would I mind if she gave Kathleen my number? What synchronicity! Well, there are no coincidences, so I quickly assured her that I would be happy to help Kathleen set up a workshop in the Sedona area.
