Find yourself in a comfortable seated position,
Either lying down,
Seated.
You can stand for this one.
Whatever is comfortable and feels right for you in the moment.
Once your feet are secure or your body is secure and you feel safe and held,
Let's focus on our breathing.
In through the nose and out through the mouth.
Just slow,
Deep breaths.
Once you find yourself one with your breath,
We're going to just roll our shoulders.
Relax away anything from the day so that it doesn't come and interfere with today.
So we can spend some time together here in this place.
On your next inhale,
I want you to imagine your feet exploding into roots as they sink deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper into the ground,
Grounding you and pulling energy from a space that's just for you,
A gift from Mother Earth.
Pulling this energy up into your body,
Going through your root,
Your sacral,
Your solar plexus,
Your heart,
Your throat,
Your third eye,
And up through your crown as it shoots around you and covers you in this beautiful,
Protected,
And safe bubble of energy.
This space starts to fill with a little bit of smoke as we move through the veils.
As you feel yourself walk forward a moment with your hands stretched out,
I want you to feel yourself at the base of a tree.
How does the bark feel underneath your hands?
Is there a smell?
Are there birds in its branches?
Is there dirt at its roots?
As you become one with this tree,
A doorway opens up right in front of you.
As you turn the handle,
There's going to be three steps going down into the darkness and the void.
As you walk through this portal,
You come to the roots of your ancestor tree and a place for you and your ancestors to meet and discuss things.
How does this space make you feel?
Is it large or small?
Is it warm and welcoming with lights and chatter?
Does it feel a little cold and distant?
There is no wrong answers here.
Taking this time now,
I want you to walk the perimeter and climb through the roots of your ancestor's tree to get yourself familiar.
As you walk through the roots or climb through its branches,
Whichever calls to you,
I want you to find the branch or root that is calling to you today.
When you're ready,
Knock on that branch or root three times,
Summoning forth a table with a bowl of water in the middle and two chairs.
As you climb down the tree or climb through the roots to make your way to this table,
You notice a figure sitting.
You notice a figure sitting in that table waiting for you.
Is this a deity you've worked with,
A spirit guide?
Does it look like someone you know?
Walk up to the table and take a seat opposite of them.
Ask them their name,
If they're well in spirit and feel safe to talk to.
If they don't,
You may ask for another representative or a guide to come help you in this way.
Now bring your attention to the water in front of you on a shared bowl as your ancestor reaches out their hands on either side for you to clasp and create a circle,
For they have something to show you in the waters,
In your bloodline,
And in your past.
When you're ready,
Hold onto their hands and gaze into the portal of the water to take you wherever you need to go,
Knowing that you are safe and secure.
As you come out from the water,
The vision fading,
You look up to greet your ancestor.
Has their appearance changed?
What expression are they holding onto their face?
As you gently let go of your hands,
Thank them for whatever they had to show you today and whatever healing has been done if necessary.
As you stand up from the table and tuck your chair in,
You notice they fade away back into that branch or root that was a part of your tree.
Say goodbye to your ancestor tree now and thank them for the wisdom and keeping you all together.
You notice once it's time to go,
A doorway will open up.
Go through it,
Knowing that you're never too far from your ancestors.
Closing the door firmly behind you,
Climb up those three steps as you find yourself back into your body,
Making sure your ankles click,
Your knees and hips and shoulders and fingertips,
As you take a few moments here to come back fully into self.
Feel free to roll over on your side into the fetal position or go into the child's pose as you feel yourself coming back aware into your body.
As you notice the glistening faded,
But you're still protected.
And take this moment to journal about what you saw.
Have a snack,
Drink some water.
And thank you so much for allowing me to guide you today.
