Poverty inherited from your lineage: releasing serfdom patterns for an easier life

I did this livestream at lunchtime, in the kitchen, with the oven on and a lasagna cooking for the children. It was not planned as a big livestream, but all week the same pattern had been emerging very strongly in the field: serfdom. Meaning that poverty inherited from your lineage, which is not necessarily about how much money you have in your account, but about the deeply buried belief that you have to live a hard life, say ‘yes’, and keep your head down to survive.

I know it sounds strange, ‘serfdom release practices’. But this pattern is much more present than we think, and almost nobody talks about it. Serfdom as an institution ended long ago. What has not ended is the way our ancestors learned to survive — which we carry forward without realizing it.

Below I explain what the serfdom pattern is, how it appears in life today, why we maintain it out of loyalty to our lineage, and the release formulas I said in the livestream, so you can do them too.

What is the ancestral serfdom pattern?

When I speak of serfdom, I am not giving a history lesson or judging anyone. I am speaking of a family inheritance. In many lineages, people survived as serfs: saying ‘yes’, keeping silent, accepting that life was hard and that this was how it had to be.

For our ancestors, this was a survival strategy. They did what they could with what they had. The problem is that the pattern did not stop with them. It passed down from generation to generation as information in the field, and today you see it in people who have never been serfs but live as though they were.

From what I have seen, the serfdom pattern has several intertwined strands:

• ‘Life is hard.’ The basic belief on which the rest rests.
• ‘I have to keep my mouth shut to survive.’ Silence as a form of protection.
• Saying ‘yes’ to stay safe, even when there is a ‘no’ inside you.
• Letting yourself be trampled on and calling it kindness or humility.
• Poverty as normality — not just a lack of money, but a constrained life without joy or ease.

How inherited poverty appears in life today

What surprised me most was how much this pattern hides in decisions. I encountered a very serious case: all kinds of very poor financial decisions made unconsciously. Not out of stupidity or lack of information, but out of hidden loyalty.

The voice behind it sounded something like this: ‘I want to belong to the lineage. You, my ancestors, had a hard life. And I, even if I live in perhaps a better country, in France, Italy, or Germany, will do anything to make my life hard.’

And this is the painful part: through this subconscious pattern — so as to belong to the lineage — many people ruin their lives. Although they live in places where work is available, where things are good, where they could live with ease, something in them sabotages it. Because in the unconscious, living well would mean separating from their family.

Signs that you may carry an inherited poverty pattern:

• you make decisions about money that even you cannot understand when viewed from the outside;
• every time you have good conditions, something comes along and spoils them;
• life feels hard even when it should not;
• you keep silent where you should speak, because ‘it is safer that way’;
• you say ‘yes’ by reflex, even when there is a ‘no’ inside you;
• you feel connected to your ancestors more through their suffering than through love.

Please remember one thing: if you are in a difficult financial situation — debts, enforcement proceedings, major money decisions — seek professional help from a financial adviser or lawyer, as appropriate. Release practices work on the underlying pattern; they do not replace professional advice and are not a promise of money.

‘Life is hard’: the pattern I had too

I will not pretend I am speaking only about others. I too had the ‘life is hard’ pattern. And I looked back honestly: some of the biggest complications recently, which I manifested myself, came from exactly that — ‘life is hard’.

It is a very large pattern underlying many others, which is why I worked on it separately and at greater length in the article about the limiting beliefs ‘I do not deserve it’, ‘I must’, and ‘Life is hard’. Here I address only its ancestral side, where it connects with serfdom: a hard life as loyalty to those who came before.

During the livestream, while assembling the lasagna, I said aloud: ‘Life is not hard.’ And that was truly how I felt at that moment: a simple dish, with good ingredients, made lovingly for the children, nearly ready. An easy life often looks like this — ordinary, not spectacular.

Kindness does not mean letting yourself be trampled on

One face of serfdom is confusing being kind with being weak. Spiritually, it is right not to go out and harm others. But not defending yourself either — that is self-betrayal. And the self-betrayal we commit individually, we also commit at the level of our lineage.

It is one thing to be a good, faithful person who loves God, with light inside you. It is another to let others trample on you. They are not the same. True kindness has a backbone. Faith does not ask you to be a doormat.

Regarding the serfdom pattern, the message is simple: stand up for yourself. Be able to say ‘no’. Be able to assert your rights, set a boundary, and leave where you are not respected. For a lineage that survived by saying ‘yes’, this is precisely what needs healing.

How to honor your ancestors without carrying their suffering

This is the key to the whole livestream. We fail to connect with our ancestors in love — we connect with them in trauma. And then we wonder why life is hard.

Somewhere deep inside, we believe that living with ease betrays them. That if their lives were hard, we are not allowed to do well. But that is not how we honor them. We honor them by living the life they could not live. Their suffering does not lessen if we repeat it; it acquires meaning only when a better life comes out of it.

You receive more than burdens from your lineage. You also receive gifts. When you leave the burden and accept the gift, your connection with your ancestors is not broken — it heals. If you want to go deeper into all inherited patterns, not just money, I have written about ancestral karma, what it is, and how to release it.

The serfdom release practices from the livestream

Center yourself. Be still for a few moments, with your attention in your body. Then say aloud, unhurriedly, feeling each sentence:

1. ‘I cancel the serfdom pattern in my lineage.’
2. ‘I alchemically transform the serfdom pattern into the strength to move forward.’
3. ‘I cancel the pattern “Life is hard”.’
4. ‘I alchemically transform the pattern “Life is hard” into: I can live an easy life, and I allow myself to live an easy life.’
5. ‘I ask for all the power given away through the serfdom pattern and the pattern “I have to keep my mouth shut to survive” to return throughout my entire lineage.’
6. ‘Dear ancestors, I honor your suffering by choosing to live an easy life.’
7. ‘I receive all my ancestors’ gifts.’

In another livestream, the one about ancestral karma, a sentence came to me that you can add at the end. It came very strongly from the subconscious, and I felt my ancestors in the field when I said it:

8. ‘I dissolve the poverty pattern in my lineage. From now on, my lineage no longer suffers from poverty.’

A few things to keep in mind:

• Say the sentences aloud, not in your head, and not like reciting a poem. Feel them.
• Notice what moves within you as you say them, and do not rush.
• Do not expect overnight miracles. A pattern passed down from generation to generation does not dissolve through one sentence. A release practice opens the door; the life that follows confirms it.

How to recognize what still needs work

In the same livestream, we also discussed something else that relates directly to every pattern, including poverty. Energies — other people’s words, spells, everything coming from outside — attach themselves to your wounds. The more you work on yourself, the less they attach. And once a theme has been worked through, it no longer affects you.

So use what touches you as a compass. If someone says something about money, work, or ‘who do you think you are’ and it catches you — you feel pain, anger, or shame — that is the signal. That is the wound you need to look at. The person is not the problem; it is the place within you that reacted.

And if this work brings up old trauma, anxiety, or dark thoughts, do not remain alone with them: also speak with a psychologist or psychotherapist. Energy work can support you, but does not replace professional help.

An easy life starts with small things

The serfdom pattern makes you believe that if you do not struggle, you are not deserving. So you struggle even where it is unnecessary. In the livestream, speaking to mothers who asked how I manage with so many girls, I said: do not struggle. Order food sometimes too — once or twice a week, a kebab or sushi — and on the other days make something simple and good, like my lasagna. Simple and effective.

Also in the livestream, while choosing olive oil, I said: there are products you must not skimp on. The simpler the food, the more ingredient quality matters. This is not financial advice, and I am not telling you how to spend your money — it is an example from my life of what permission to feel good looks like in practice.

An easy life does not mean laziness or waste. It means no longer choosing hardship by reflex, simply because that is how those before you lived.

Do the release practices with me

If you want to hear the whole livestream, play it below. It is an informal livestream from the kitchen, with many stories along the way; the actual release practices are around minutes 6–8, 29–30, 33–34, and 41–42.

The sentence about ancestral poverty comes from the ancestral karma release livestream, where I work on other inherited patterns too.

Frequently asked questions about ancestral poverty

What does the serfdom pattern mean?

It is a pattern inherited from your lineage, from the times when your ancestors survived by saying ‘yes’, keeping silent, and accepting a hard life. Today it appears in the belief that life must be hard, in silence, in the inability to say ‘no’, and in decisions that keep you in lack without knowing why.

Can poverty be inherited?

From what I see in energy work, what is inherited is the patterns behind it: ‘life is hard’, ‘I must keep silent to survive’, and loyalty to the lineage’s suffering. They can push you towards poor decisions even when your conditions are good. Your actual financial situation, however, is something to discuss with a financial professional.

How do I recognize an inherited poverty mindset?

Look at patterns: money decisions even you do not understand, good conditions that keep falling apart, hardship where it should not be, silence, and reflexive ‘yeses’. And notice what catches you: where you hurt or get angry when money is discussed, that is the wound to work on.

Am I betraying my ancestors if I choose an easy life?

No. You are honoring them. We connect to them through trauma, but the true connection is in love. You honor their suffering by choosing to live the life they could not live and receiving their gifts rather than their burdens.

What release practices should I do for the ancestral poverty pattern?

Those from the livestream: cancel the serfdom pattern and alchemically transform it into the strength to move forward, cancel ‘life is hard’ and transform it into permission to live an easy life, ask for the power given away through serfdom and silence to return, honor your ancestors’ suffering, and receive their gifts. You will find them above, in order.

Will the release practices bring me money?

I cannot promise you money, and nobody should promise it. Release practices work on underlying patterns so you no longer choose hardship out of loyalty. What you then do in your life in practical terms — work, decisions, action — remains up to you.

Life is not hard. Choose it to be easy — for you and those before you. Sending you a kiss, and I look forward to seeing you at the next livestream.
