Ancestors are benevolent beings who love us. You are their legacy and they want the best for their progeny. Their own evolution in the Other World depends upon the completion of unfinished business or making amends for unkind acts or deeds that they may have committed during their lifetime.
Among your ancestors there is usually one or two chosen to look after your movements and then report back to the elders. Ancestors who have agreed to work with us may be grandparents or other deceased relatives, including ancient ancestors. This is your closest guardian who gives you warnings. Intuition, bodily sensations, a desire for certain foods, or resistance to certain invitations are some of the various ways that your ancestors may communicate with you. A sangoma is an Africa-trained traditional healer who is possessed by his or her ancestors and works for the healing of the community.
If you have not built a relationship with your ancestors, they may not be certain of your willingness to work with them. Ancestors speak the language of intuition and symbols through the elements, memories, dreams, and metaphors. If you want them to be active in your life, all it takes is your intention and a little outward celebration in their honor.
