Pitrudosha/ Ancestral Patterns

We are not isolated individuals, we are an amalgam of several ancestral patterns, carried by our ancestors. Unresolved life situations, and emotional conditions in our ancestors, travel down generationally.The relay race that we played as kids, is a useful analogy. Runner A runs with a baton, runs a certain distance, and then hands the baton over to runner B, while A himself stands still. Then B runs a certain distance, and passes the baton on to C. Unresolved emotional patterns are handed down generationally , and are left to the current generation, to resolve once and for all. A single person in a family can take the responsibility of clearing up several ancestral patterns that show up as disease, financial troubles, divorce, widowhood, addictions, suicides, childlessness, losses, abandonments etc.
