Once you have done this, you can more safely dialogue with your departed ancestors without cross-contamination. Listen to their words, offer them the form of love, light, and blessings that they need, reminders that their body is no longer in this plane, and they can now let go of the pain their embodied selves went through, and move all the way into the light in spirit.

This may take several dialogues, as well the assistance of others including professional healers.

Once this healing has been sufficiently completed, not only can they now pass over into the Light, but you will not be carrying the old burdens that were not yours to carry and can pass on the healing rather than the trauma and the woundings to your children and descendants. May it be so.
