Do Past Lives and Ancestral Lineage Interact?

Why do certain fears, emotional reactions, or even physical symptoms show up in our lives without a clear personal origin? In Part 2 of this thought-provoking conversation, Lisa explores that question with regression therapist and author Shelley Kaehr, diving into the fascinating intersection between past lives and ancestral lineage.Together, they unpack how emotional patterns and trauma can be carried forward through DNA and energy fields, sometimes snowballing over generations until they surface in the present moment. Shelley explains how genealogical regression works alongside past-life regression, and why working with ancestors—rather than strangers from another lifetime—can be uniquely powerful and deeply moving.In this episode, you’ll discover:* How ancestral trauma and emotional responses can be inherited and amplified over generations* Why genealogical regression often feels more immediate and emotional than past-life work* A striking case study linking family caregiving roles, migraines, and soul-level clarity* Why people sometimes become ill when visiting ancestral homelands—and how awareness can help* How soul contracts, family challenges, and “button-pushers” play a role in spiritual growthThis conversation invites a broader perspective: that we are not just healing ourselves, but participating in a much larger story. By bringing awareness to both past lives and ancestral lineage, we step into the role of conscious participants—capable of transforming inherited patterns and creating ripples of healing that extend far beyond our own lives.Visit Shelley’s author page on Amazon here.Check out Shelley’s course at The Shift Network here.Lisa Bonnice is an award-winning author, podcaster, and former stand-up comic whose work blends humor, heart, and spiritual depth.
