Astral Expeditions
The Ancestral Line
Walk back along the unbroken line of people who had to survive in order for you to be here.
The Ancestral Line asks you to walk back along the unbroken chain of people who had to survive for you to be here. You simply stroll past those generations and notice the long view of history.
It focuses on the connection between those past lives and yours without asking you to solve anything.
A path that follows the unbroken line of people who came before you. You walk back along a route that is already finished and step where feet have stepped for centuries.
The motion is steady and the ground is firm, and there is no need to catch up with anyone or understand how it all fits together.
What’s in it
A walk back along the unbroken line of people who had to survive in order for you to be here.
Why do it
Treading the steps of your ancestors helps connect with something deep and ancestral, easing modern burdens.

Where it sits
Bolder inner voyages: astral travel, time travel, distant worlds, and quiet contact.
These go further than the calmer journeys. You stay in control the whole time, and you can stop any time by opening your eyes and breathing. New to this? The journeys below are a softer place to start.
Why going here does anything
Walking back through generations gives attention something very large and solid to hold.
Focusing on the people who had to survive stops the mind from spinning on smaller things, because this long line of history does not ask anything of you other than to see it.

Hypnosis is not for everyone. If you have epilepsy, a psychotic illness, or you are under psychiatric care, talk to your clinician before using this — here or anywhere.
