Today we're going to do an ancestral meditation.
The root chakra is the energy point of the body that holds the energy of our ancestors,
Intergenerational trauma,
Familial patterns,
Our ways of being with the earth,
And some people believe this even also holds the energy of our past lives.
I'm an indigenous woman,
Chata Ohoyo Heitasia.
It is my practice to take a moment to acknowledge and honor our ancestors every day to strengthen my sense of purpose,
Grounding,
And connection.
When we start our day like this,
It can provide a sense of protection,
Connection,
Safety,
And meaning.
This meditation is for our root chakra and can help when we feel a sense of disconnection,
Fear,
Feeling lost,
Unprotected,
Or vulnerable.
This meditation helps foster that connection,
Purpose,
And security with our ancestors as well as our mother earth.
Enjoy.
Take a deep breath and begin by allowing yourself to feel comfortable and supported in your seat.
First notice your natural breathing rhythm without changing it.
Start by breathing in through your nose counting to four,
Then breathe out of your mouth counting to four.
Again,
Breathe in through your nose counting to four.
Envision fresh rejuvenating air coming in through your nose,
Filling your body,
Feel gratitude.
Then breathe out of your mouth counting to four,
Breathing out all the stress and toxins in your body.
One last time,
Breathe in for four,
Filling your body with fresh cool air,
Feeling gratitude for the clean air providing oxygen to your body.
Hold it for four,
Then breathe out stress and insecurity counting to four.
Now let your body feel heavy in your seat and on the earth.
Let yourself melt into it and feel the soft support coming from mother earth.
Breathe in golden cleansing light.
Imagine it moving down your body all the way down to your feet.
You feel so held by your mother earth.
Breathe out,
See your stress melting into the soil and allow the energy from the top of your body down to your feet into the ground.
Breathe in and let the air continue down past your feet and into the soil.
Imagine the air flowing through down the soil like roots going down the soil and into the ground.
Then as you breathe out,
See the air flowing out of your body and into the ground,
Nourishing your roots.
You can see your roots.
Do they look healthy and nourished?
Nourished?
What do your roots need?
Now breathe in,
Breathing in love and see it flowing down into your roots.
This love is healing all wounds and insecurity in your root chakra.
Times you felt insecure in your life,
Times your parents experienced insecurity or didn't have their basic needs met and did their parents experience insecurity in the world?
All of those things are held in our root chakra.
So go ahead and nourish them with love,
Yourself,
Your ancestors.
Then breathe out,
Releasing all ancestral wounds related to feeling insecure and any wounds that make you feel small or the desire to be invisible.
Breathe in,
Transferring light energy from your crown down to your roots,
Your roots connecting you to this earth and your ancestors.
Then breathe out,
Feeling your roots being nourished and strengthened by the beautiful golden light rays.
Breathe in Mother Earth's love and when you breathe out,
Release all insecurities and ancestral wounds into the earth to be recycled and renewed.
She is our Mother Earth and receives nourishment from her egg's hail.
We are kin.
Know that the earth knows just what to do with this energy,
All those thoughts,
Stress,
Insecurity.
Mama Gaia is under your feet,
Under your body and ready to nourish you.
Breathe in,
Breathing her clean sparkling light energy.
Take a deep breath out,
Breathing out the toxins,
Stress out of your body back into the earth to be recycled however it will best serve.
Know that your ancestors ashes are on this earth.
They're with you,
Surrounding you,
Protecting you,
Cheering you on.
Breathe in their support and protection.
Breathe out gratitude for your ancestors bringing you to this moment.
Today is such a gift so we'll take a moment to see if your ancestors have any guidance or gifts for you on this day.
If not,
Just take a moment for gratitude.
Now release and seal this energy into your roots and your root chakra.
Yakoke and namaste.
Have a beautiful day.
