I am Italian. Lucky me! One Mother's Day, my hubby Scott sent me to Italy to spend two weeks with our son who was playing professional baseball in Reggio Emilia and to visit my uncle and cousins in Monfalcone. As I laid my head on my pillow every night, one or more of my ancestors--my deceased father, grandmother and grandfather-- would wake me and ask me to release and clear emotions from their past lives in Italy. They were very persistent--as Italians can be! I would tell them, "Ok ok. After I sleep!" I had learned several techniques to do this work--and it was such an honor to tap into their souls--because I was really tapping into my own. When I returned home, one of my healing practitioners told me that I had done an intense amount of karma clearing. And that my ancestors had assisted me in healing me!
