I've had the Grief & Ancestral Healing Salts for a while and have to used them to facilitate healing around the loss of my mother and as part of a larger working to transmute grief along my ancestral line. There's a gentleness to this and a drawing out that's hard to describe, but is exactly what I needed. Recently, I had the urge to return to the Salts with no clear objective in mind. As I was preparing the bath, a memory of a loss resurfaced. I didn't realize that I was carrying this, and am grateful that the material directed me to this spot that needed healing. I am so grateful for Kaitlin's offerings; they have aided me time and time again.

The Ancestral line was released right around the time my mother died, and the bath salts were a beautifully comforting and healing tool for me to receive just then. I'm still using them as I continue to process my grief around both the loss of her and during the clearing out of her house (my childhood home) in preparation to sell the property. Deep, restorative and releasing spiritual baths with the Grief Salts are helping me to support my siblings during this time as well. Thank you, Kaitlin, for this gift.

I purchased these as part of the Ancestral Starter Set when it first came out and have used them as well as the rest of the set a few times with success in making contact with the ancestors.

The Grief salts, however, have been particularly and especially helpful for me in conjunction with lineage healing (a la the Ancestral Medicine method) of some very troubled family lines. If you, like me, find as much wounding as you do wonderfulness when you first work with ancestors, you may find they help you to establish a connection while also holding space for the rightful grief.

I highly recommend them as well as the entire Ancestors series from S+S.

My inner voice has said for a long time, "Your inner child needs a spanking. Stop wallowing." And while perhaps true, it does nothing for the accumulated grief and loss that begs to be wallowed in. If you are at all interested in the ancestors, the Comfort series is a good way to start and you may find that healing appears in ways you didn't expect. Such was my experience.

Self-care is not self-indulgence, though I have found it be work -- this is healing self-care and the cleaning of old wounds can be painful, I sobbed and sobbed for the losses and the loss of all the possible futures. I felt spiritually clean when I was done, able to see between the wounds and the people themselves, and able to give love my loves and symbiotes.

Change, even good changes, can be difficult. A spoonful or two as a floor wash might be a good idea if you need to ease into it and get used to the idea. In retrospect, I think I would have done that before the bath. But then, I had years of "stuffing it." Overall, I've had success with all of the Ancestor series items I've bought -- and I promise you, I am not a woo-woo person. I need to really see evidence before I can invest intellectually.
