Ancestral Guidance

I need to ask the ancestors for guidance... I need to connect with them...consciously connect with them. I was drawn back to a previously read text- The Healing Wisdom of Africa by Malidoma Patrice Some. I found this passage...

"Ancestors are at a disadvantage because they know how to improve things yet they do not have the body required to act on what they know. We are at a disadvangtage because, although we have bodies, we often lack the knowledge required to carry things out properly. This is why Spirit likes to work through us. A person with a body is an ideal vehicle for Spirit to manifest things in this world. It is important to understand that when we feel that something is missing in our life, when we feel somehow disconnected or displaced, that these feelings are a sign for us to repair our connection with the world of the ancestors and spirits."
