Ancestral house clearing
Ancestral Healing
All but the newest of houses have an ancestral history — and even then the land on which a new dwelling is built may well have an ancestral saga attached. All the owners and occupiers who have lived there throughout the years will have left their energetic mark: their joys and sorrows, hopes and expectations, fear and fantasies. Tie cutting may be needed to free up the energies. Houses can be ’happy’ or ’sad’ places. Especially when larger spaces have been carved up into smaller units or the building has undergone a change of use. Sometimes this energetic residue chimes with our own, which is why a house can reach out and grab you. Make you feel you’ve ’come home’. Or, a building may repel you because it mirrors your own or your ancestors’ less than beneficial past experience. The house may have much to teach you.
Houses can also hold on to the horrors of the past. In the UK, as with other places, many old asylums, prisons and former poorhouses, religious or commercial buildings have been converted into flats. Occupants often report disturbances that can be traced back to the despair, beliefs or psychosis of former inmates. In some cases, the previous occupants are still there and need help to move on (see page 214). In other cases the desperation has been imprinted into the walls and floors, seeping into the very foundations and land on which a building stands. An imprint that may not be dissolved if a building is torn down or decays. Traumatic events such as battles, family quarrels, or turning the occupants off the land may also have left their mark. The actions of thoughtless and unaware property developers may lead to problems further down the line in the present day. One former church, for instance, had had the occupants of the graves disinterred and the bones thrown into the crypt, which was then walled up. The restless souls soon made themselves known when a sensitive owner moved in.
Healing ancestral patterns in houses
One of the quickest ways of healing the ancestral memory of a building is by using crystal layouts combined with essences such as Petaltone Z14 or Astral Clear (see Resources). If you do not have enough crystals of any one type, crystals can be mixed, or you can make a crystal essence and use that.
You will need:
Sufficient cleansed Ancestralite or other ancestral clearing stones for each corner of every room in the building. Crystal types can be mixed as long as the outermost four corners have Ancestralite placements. Keep the overall crystal placements harmonious and symmetrical.

✵ Ground yourself thoroughly with a grounding root. (See page 19.)
✵ Programme the crystals with the intention that they will clear and heal the ancestral history of the building and release any trapped souls to the light.
✵ Place large Ancestralite stones in the four outermost corners of the building.
✵ Place appropriate crystals in each corner of every room, keeping an overall pattern and symmetry to the placements depending in the shape of the building.
✵ Place a large Selenite sphere as close as possible to the centre of the building.
✵ Put a few drops of Petaltone Z14, Astral Clear or other ancestral clearing essence on each of the Ancestralites in the outer corners and on the central Selenite sphere.
✵ Send unconditional love and forgiveness right through the building as you visualise all the crystals joining up in a multidimensional grid that sends clearing and healing light from top to bottom and side to side and then down into the land beneath.
✵ If issues or emotions surface, add appropriate crystals to the grid.
✵ Leave the crystals in place for as long as feels appropriate. Spray with crystal cleanser from time to time and then thoroughly cleanse them when dismantling the grid.
Alternatively, the quick method:
✵ Lay a large five pointed star grid using ancestral clearing crystals in the centre of the space with a Selenite sphere in the centre.
✵ Place Rose Quartz between the ancestral stones and the Selenite at the crossing point of the lines.
✵ Add appropriate crystal essences to each stone.
✵ Visualise the crystals joining up in a multidimensional grid that sends clearing and healing light from top to bottom and side to side of the space and then down into the land beneath.
✵ Ask that any lost souls be taken to the light.
✵ Leave the crystals in place for as long as feels appropriate.
