Meghan Markle is going full Left Coast when it comes to the mental wellbeing of her royal brood.
The former "Suits" star and LA native has been introducing her husband, Prince Harry, and son, Archie, to a slate of New-Agey alternative healing techniques since they moved out to California last year, according to a report.
Markle is helping the 2-year-old — and also her dogs — with the practice of Reiki, the Japanese energy healing discipline, in an attempt "to help them feel more balanced and relaxed," a source told The Daily Mail.
As for her husband, the Duchess of Sussex has been introducing him to to the process of "ancestral healing" to help deal with "generations of genetic baggage."

Markle is said to have learned about the treatment from her mother, Doria Ragland, who "attends weekly services at Agapé International Spiritual Center," the report said.
"Ancestral healing" is based on the premise that unhealed family legacies and traumas are nestled within each of us, and it takes active work and therapy to free ourselves of generational trauma.
"Meghan said both she and Harry come from a long lineage of pain and suffering, [with] generations of genetic baggage, and that it’s now up to them to break the cycle once and for all," a source told the tabloid.
In his recent appearance in the Apple TV+ mental health show, "The Me You Can’t See," the 36-year-old Prince told Oprah Winfrey that his father Prince Charles’ unhappy childhood had been passed down to him.

"My father used to say to me when I was younger … ‘Well, it was like that for me, so it’s going to be like that for you,’" Harry explained.
The other therapy that the couple are both eager advocates of is tapping therapy.
Harry was shown on the documentary undergoing the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) psychotherapy technique, which he used to relieve his PTSD in the aftermath of his mom’s death. (EMDR also involves tapping the patient’s shoulders.)

"EMDR is always something that I wanted to try and that was one of the varieties of different forms of healing or curing that I was willing to experiment with, and I never would have been open to that had I not put in the work and the therapy that I’ve done over the years," Harry told Winfrey.
During the session with UK-based psychotherapist Sanja Oakley, Harry showed viewers that using EMDR helped him address feeling "hunted" and "helpless" when returning home to attend his grandfather Prince Philip’s funeral.
Since decamping to Santa Barbara, the duke has gone public with a long litany of attacks against the royal family, including their "total silence" when he voiced his and Markle’s deep unhappiness.

Feeling trapped within the family, there was no option to leave, he said.
"I was still told, ‘You can’t do this’ … how bad does it get until I am allowed to do this?"
