Pitru Paksha 2026: Clearing Ancestral Heaviness and Getting a Nazar Removal Session Done Right

Nothing ever felt like you can eat something that isn’t even yours?

Nothing, but the same problem keeps coming back to you. Money arrives and slips away very quickly. A pattern. A relationship keeps repeating across siblings and cousins. Doors that open for you close for no reason, and there is some kind of heaviness that is inside, which you can’t explain, and that doesn’t fix by sleep.

In Indian spiritual tradition, one explanation for this unfinished energy that is coming out of you is called the ancestral energy. Pitru Paksha is the time of the year when the ideal is taken very seriously, and it is considered to be a very good time to clear out whatever has been done putting you down.

Pitru Paksha is a 15 day period which runs till 10th of October this year, it is set aside to remember and honour our  ancestors(Pitru) families traditionally offer food, water, and prayers, and even with charity in their ancestor’s name. These rites are known as Shraddha and tarpan. 

The belief is that during these days, the connection between us, and those who came before us is at its closest. It is a time for gratitude and also a time to set right whatever was left incomplete. Many families sit as a way of saying thank you for life. The name and the values passed down to them.

Many practitioners and family notice that these 15 days are when things actually create a change, most people commonly describe: 

1. Sudden heaviness, restlessness or irritability without any clear reason
2. Vivid dreams involving family members who have passed away
3. Old family issues, memories, or emotions resurfacing
4. Repeat a delays or blocks in work, health, or relationships
5. A feeling of being drained or pulled down, especially when you’re at home

In a spiritual context, this is nothing to be afraid of when the energy comes up because it is asking to be acknowledged. And resolved, grief, unspoken words, unmet wishes and karmic patterns can travel quietly through a family line for generations, and this period is seen as the time they surface, so they can be finally dealt with instead of being carried forward.

If you can feel these pools, it doesn’t mean that something is wrong with you, but it usually means that something is ready to be cleared.

Nazar or the evil eye commonly used is a negative energy that is picked up from NB harsh attention or intense emotion, which is directed at you or your family or your business or at your home. It can settle on a person, a child, a shop or even a house.

When you are carrying ancestor heaviness, you tend to be more sensitive to it so an energy that would normally pass through you. Just speak to you instead, and there are two layers which start to feed each other, making you feel heavy and weak. This is why they often looked at it together, and why Pitru Paksha is considered a suitable window for a Nazar removal session. The connection with your ancestors, your awareness is very high, and it is easy to see what needs more attention.

Nazar or the evil eye commonly used is a negative energy that is picked up from NB harsh attention or intense emotion, which is directed at you or your family or your business or at your home. It can settle on a person, a child, a shop or even a house.

There are always signs that people face when they are dealing with Nazar:

• Bad luck arrives suddenly after a period of good progress
• This ongoing tiredness, headaches, or low mood with no medical explanation
• Frequent arguments at Home over very small and petty things
• Work or business, slowing down for no visible reason
• A sense of Unni’s inside you, or in certain rooms of the house
• A child, who is unusually cranky, unwell, or unable to sleep without a clear cause.

These are the traditional indicators of Nazar and this is not like a diagnosis or something. If you have ongoing physical or mental health symptoms, please see a doctor as well because spiritual work is meant to sit alongside with proper care and never replace anything.

A session at house of Sheelaa is a guided 1 to one process:

1. First, we try to understand what you’re experiencing by talking through what you have been noticing in your life, your home and your family, so the work is focused on your situation and it’s not some generic stuff that we find online.
2. Second identity comes from whether it could be a personal Nazar and patterns of energy in your space or a mix of all of these.
3. The clearing itself by using the appropriate method, we work together to remove negative energy from you, and where needed from your home or workplace.
4. After the session, they make sure that we give you the necessary guidance like you are told what to do and what to avoid in the following days, so the clearing holes and you’re not guessing on what to do.

You don’t need to follow a particular belief system or know any rituals beforehand. You only need to be open to the process.

Let me tell you a few simple things that you can note down or you can just keep it in your head:

• Take a bath and wear clean and comfortable clothes
• Sit somewhere, quiet without rushing in between other tasks, just concentrate on what you’re supposed to do now
• Think about what you have been noticing when the heaviness started, what keeps repeating and which rooms are situations feel different
• If you can ask an elder about your family traditions or any unfinished rights, even small details can help

Many of them get confused about this part of how can we honour our ancestors at home during Pitru Paksha or what are the certain things that we need to keep keep in our mind when we think about this particular process:

1. Office food and water in their name, you can even add black sesame seeds to the water and a simple meal they used to enjoy.
2. You can feed others. Feeding cows, crows, dogs or people in need is considered and offered on behalf of your ancestors.
3. Light a lamp in the evening and sit in front of it for a few minutes. Remember, remembering them by name, you can say some prayers or you can talk to them.
4. Keep your home clean and calm. Traditionally, major new ventures and celebrations are avoided during this period and the atmosphere at home is kept very peaceful and neat.
5. Try to forgive and let go, there will be many unsolved or unsolved conflicts with a family member who has passed away. This is a good time to say whatever you say silently and let it go.

Each practice differs across families and religions. If you are unsure about what your family follows, check with an elder knowledgeable priest and they will guide you the right way.

Traditionally, these 15 days are an ancestral connection and many people find it easier to release their old fears, hurt and repeating patterns now than any other time in the year so Pitru Paksha is ending on 10th October very limited time, so if this speaks it is worth acting sooner than later.

What your ancestors unfinished doesn’t have to become your story. You can pause it and give yours a new start. 

If you have been feeling the pulls and drags, or you want to understand what might be blocking your path, we can guide you step by step and help you do the ritual the right way. Book the Nazar Removal session with us, you can do it any time any day before 10th of October.
