Hello,
My name is Addie and I am so grateful to share this space with you.
Today we'll journey together to the firelight of your ancestors,
A place of deep love,
Wisdom and connection.
Take a moment now to close your eyes.
Draw a slow,
Gentle breath in.
Feel your belly and chest rise.
As you exhale,
Release the day,
Letting your body soften.
Each breath brings you closer to the remembering that you have never walked this life alone.
Bring awareness to the crown of your head.
Let it soften.
Relax your forehead.
Your jaw.
Your neck.
Let your shoulders melt.
Your arms.
Your hands.
All the way down.
Down through your legs.
Your feet.
Breathe.
Feel the weight of your body resting.
Fully supported.
Imagine roots gently growing from your spine into the earth.
Anchoring you.
With every exhale,
Sink deeper into the support.
Into the knowing of safety and grounding.
Now,
In your mind's eye,
See yourself standing at the edge of a vast forest.
The path before you,
Soft,
With moss,
Winding gently between towering trees.
Leaves rustle above.
Birds sing softly.
The air is filled with earthy scent.
Step forward onto the path.
Feel the forest guiding every step.
Far in the distance,
A drumbeat that calls you forward.
Steady.
Inviting.
You follow.
You follow the rhythm.
Deeper into the heart of the forest.
Feeling curiosity.
Anticipation.
Awaken within you.
The tree is open to reveal a clearing.
In the centre burns a fire.
Glowing violet and gold.
Shifting like starlight.
Around you.
Around the fire.
Your ancestors are gathered.
Some faces are familiar.
Others unknown.
Yet,
Each face radiates recognition.
They drum.
They sing.
As you approach,
You feel welcome.
Warmth.
Supported.
Loved.
Take your place by the fire.
Let its warmth flow through your body.
As you sit amongst them.
Feeling the love.
The drumming softens.
You notice one of the ancestors stepping forward.
The elder.
A wise elder with kind eyes.
Reminds you to release what weighs you down.
Old stories.
Fears that no longer serve.
Let them fall away.
Like dry leaves drifting down from the trees.
You feel free to begin anew.
Another ancestor rises.
The grandmother.
A grandmother figure steps closer.
Radiating warmth.
She reminds you to tend to your heart.
To nourish it.
Care for it.
Allow compassion to flow inward.
And outward.
Her presence wraps you in a feeling of belonging.
The next ancestor.
Steps forward.
The warrior.
This ancestor steps forward.
Fierce.
Protective.
They remind you of your strength.
Boundaries.
You feel vitality and clarity awaken within.
Preparing you to walk boldly in your truth.
A child ancestor appears.
Eyes bright with wonder.
Inviting you to connect with joy.
Curiosity.
Laughter and lightness fill your being.
Reminding you that joy is medicine for your soul.
A radiant figure emerges.
Stepping forward.
A reflection of you.
Your higher self.
Future generations.
They speak of ascension.
Unity.
Their presence guides you forward.
Reminding you every step you take shapes the path for those who follow.
As all five these ancestors sit down around you.
Amongst the rest of your ancestors.
The circle of love and guidance feels unbroken.
You feel their hands on your back.
Their love and support infusing your being.
Your heart swells with the love that you feel radiating from them.
Their message is clear.
You are never alone.
You walk with them always.
You rise.
The fire begins to soften.
The drumming fades.
You rise.
And begin walking back along the forest path.
Leaves rustle.
Birds sing.
The forest guides your steps.
Gently.
With each breath.
And each step.
You carry the fire's wisdom.
The guidance of your ancestors.
And their loving presence with you.
The trees begin to thin.
You hear the ocean waves once again.
You return to the shore.
Feel the sand beneath your feet.
The rhythm of the tide matching your breath.
Take a deep inhale.
Inhale.
Exhale slowly.
Start anchoring back into your body.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Sense the room around you.
When you're ready.
You can open your eyes gently.
May you walk forward with the love of your ancestors in your hearts.
May you release what no longer serves you.
And carry the wisdom of the fire with every step.
And may you always remember.
You are never alone.
The circle walks with you.
Always.
And so it is.
Namaste.
