Episode 122: Nourish Your Nervous System — Ancestral Nourishment: Healing Generational Trauma and Reclaiming Your Roots

In this episode of The Holistic Trauma Healing Podcast, Lindsey Lockett continues her Nourish Your Nervous System series with part 10, exploring the topic of ancestral nourishment. While acknowledging that ancestral healing is an area where she still feels like a student, Lindsey shares her personal experiences with genealogy, ancestral trauma, and connection to those who came before us.

She dives deep into how ancestral trauma is passed down through generations, from emotional wounds to adaptive survival patterns like addiction, scarcity mindset, and chronic illness. Lindsey also explores the historical impacts of colonization, Christianization, and systemic overculture trauma on our collective and individual nervous systems.

Through personal stories, thought-provoking insights, and practical steps, this episode offers a powerful reflection on how we can nourish our relationship with our ancestors, honor their struggles, and embrace the resilience that allowed us to exist today.

8 Practical Ways to Connect with Your Ancestors:

1️⃣ Research your ancestry and build a family tree using resources like Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.org
2️⃣ Ask living relatives to share stories and write them down for future generations
3️⃣ Display photos of ancestors in your home to honor them
4️⃣ Visit gravesites or ancestral lands and leave small offerings
5️⃣ Call on your well-in-spirit ancestors for guidance, protection, and support
6️⃣ Create an “ancestor plate” at special family meals and offer a portion of food to them
7️⃣ Hold onto meaningful heirlooms like jewelry, tools, clothing, or art
8️⃣ Choose a symbolic sign (e.g., a hummingbird, number, or object) to represent an ancestor’s presence
