Welcome to this ancestral guidance meditation that's designed to help us deeply connect with those beyond the veil in order to bring forth more alignment and profound guidance,
Understanding,
And ultimately love in our lives.
As a species,
We are being beckoned to uplift the veils we've been hiding behind,
The truths we have yet to confront,
And the fears we've been hiding from in order to take one or maybe ten steps closer to experiencing an abundant life of pure authenticity,
Beauty,
And grace.
This precious life is meant to be lived,
Wholly and fully.
The time is now to uplift the veils.
That may have been holding us back from fully experiencing the full spectrum of being alive and a human body on planet earth.
To uplift the veils that are keeping us in a state of autopilot.
To uplift the veils that we hide behind because our most real truth and most genuine dreams feel too embarrassing,
Big,
Or cringy.
And the beauty of it all.
Is understanding that we have an entire team beyond the veil.
Patiently awaiting our calls.
Our ancestors are so eager and thrilled to receive their assignments and continue their sacred and meaningful work of guidance and support in our lives.
They are quite literally there to help us remember who we are and why we're here,
And to ultimately help walk us back home to our highest truth.
So to begin,
Find a comfortable seat or lie flat on the ground.
Turn your palms upward toward the sky.
As an act of reception.
Now close your eyes if you haven't already.
Allow the body to soften completely.
Release and let go.
As you drift into a state of pure surrender and receptivity.
Now begin to draw your awareness deeper inward to your breath.
Take this opportunity to really feel your body breathe.
Fully breathing in.
I'm completely breathing out.
And as you're breathing here.
See if you can really experience the entirety of an inhale.
And the entirety of an exhale.
Breathing in more air than you might normally.
And really exhale all of your air out.
Not hiding behind shallow breaths.
Give yourself full permission to feel and experience the full spectrum of your breath cycle.
Continue breathing in this deep way.
And now let's experiment with how it feels to keep the breath deep.
But now extending the breath to make it even longer.
So the breath itself.
Becomes even more dynamic.
It's still calming and grounding.
We're adding even more dimensionality to the entire experience.
Keeping the breath deep.
Slowing it down even more.
And now we gently add Kumbhaka,
Breath retention,
To the experience.
So wherever you are in your cycle of breath,
Take time here and now to really empty all of your air out.
Now take a slow and deep inhale in through the nose,
Filling up completely.
Hold the breath in at the top.
Engage your insides,
Drawing the navel in toward the spine.
But relax the shoulders and the face.
Continue engaging your insides and holding your breath at the top.
For three.
Keep holding for two.
And 1,
Open the mouth,
Exhale,
Gently release.
Expelling all your air.
Really letting go until you're completely empty.
Then you'll hold the breath out at the bottom.
Take this time,
Keep holding the breath out.
Soften and receive this moment of deep stillness.
Quiet,
Softness,
Calm and relaxed,
Go deeper inward.
And now take another slow and massive inhale through the nose,
Filling up completely all the way up to the top.
Sip in a little more air.
Keep breathing in,
Breathing in.
Hold the breath in at the top.
Engage your insides.
Keep holding.
Relax the shoulders and the face.
Hold the breath.
For free.
Hold to breathe.
And one,
Open the mouth,
Exhale,
Releasing all of your air out slowly and gently.
Exhaling until you're truly empty.
Holding the breath out once again at the bottom.
When it feels right to you,
Returning to your natural breath.
Slow and steady.
In and out through the nose.
Now releasing any control of the breath and even the focus on it for now.
And now.
And your mind's eye.
Take yourself to your favorite place in nature.
This could be a place that you've visited in real life.
Somewhere in your wildest imagination.
Or perhaps a hybrid.
Know that precisely where your mind goes instantly is where you're meant to be.
Resist the urge to try to figure out.
If the place is right or wrong,
There's no need to tweak it.
Just be in it.
Taking in the environment completely.
If you observe the colors,
The landscape,
Noticing any sounds,
The temperature on your skin.
Are there animals,
Flora,
Fauna?
Just allow yourself to truly feel into this sacred place in totality.
And as you're exploring,
You begin to notice a path less traveled.
It hasn't been groomed in a long while.
It looks a bit mysterious,
But undeniably intriguing.
The mystery of this path isn't scary.
It's just revealing.
An unknown path.
You begin to walk down the path.
And as you do so,
Take it all in.
Noticing the ground you're walking on.
Observe the season that you're in.
The colors.
The trees lining the path.
Maybe you even notice an animal crossing the path.
Eventually,
You notice a basket at your feet.
And even the basket feels sacred and aligned.
What does it look like?
What is it made out of?
What is its shape?
You pick the basket up and continue walking.
Knowing that this is your vessel to collect treasures along the way.
The first treasure you see is a rock,
Or a stone,
Or perhaps a crystal of some sort.
You take a moment to notice its color and texture.
How it makes you feel.
And you put it in your basket.
You continue walking down the path until eventually you stumble upon a flower,
The most beautiful and epic flower of your life.
Again,
You notice its color,
Its texture.
Maybe you breathe in the divine aroma.
Observe how it makes you feel.
And put it in your basket.
Continue walking down the path.
Until eventually you see your third treasure.
A leaf that has fallen from a tree.
You notice its color and its texture.
And you even look around until you see the tree that it's fallen from.
And observe how this unique leaf.
That is truly a work of art in itself makes you feel You put it in the basket.
And now with three treasures in your basket,
You continue walking down the path.
Until something quite unexpected now catches your eye.
The fourth treasure.
They're lying on the earth.
Is a small piece of paper.
You bend down to pick it up.
And notice that there's a single word written upon it.
No need to overanalyze or trying to come up with the word.
Simply allow the word to reveal itself to you.
And the word might seem ordinary.
Or maybe even a bit bizarre.
It doesn't matter.
Let it be what it is.
Trust whatever comes.
Take a moment to see the word clearly.
Notice the handwriting.
The color of the paper and the ink,
The texture.
Observe how it makes you feel.
And gently place the paper in your basket alongside the other treasures.
And now continue walking down the path with your basket of treasures in tow.
Until eventually.
.
.
You come upon a cave.
You take a deep inhale.
And a long exhale.
And proceed to walk into the darkness of the cave.
In the distance you can hear the gentle movement of water.
It's not rushing water just kind of swaying dancing water.
You can even hear the melody of murmurs coming from deep.
Within the cave.
Again it's not scary,
Quite the contrary.
The sounds are magnetizing you deeper inward.
And as you walk deeper into the cave,
The darkness is slowly and oddly becoming brighter.
Finally,
You see where the light is coming from.
As you walk upon an opening in the cave.
You experience and see.
Almost like artwork.
Water,
A small yet deep lake in the middle of the cave,
And floating in the water are hundreds of candles flickering and illuminating the darkness of the cave.
There are even candles and various crystals also lining the walls of the cave.
Pure illumination.
Enchantment.
In the depths.
And thanks to the candles and the reflection of the water.
You're able to make out the faces of four beings sitting around the lake.
And the candles.
These are your ancestors and they have come to be with you.
You take a moment to greet.
Each of these four ancestors.
Without analyzing why they're here or even who they are.
They might be someone you knew when their bodies were walking on earth,
Like a grandparent.
Or maybe a distant ancestor.
Who came and went way before your time on earth.
Take this time to see their faces.
Feel their presence.
And just allow yourself to be with them.
Now you take a seat across from them and let them connect with you.
You might hear actual words,
Maybe they're speaking to you or singing or chanting.
You might begin to see imagery.
Symbols or colors in the water or on the walls of the cave.
And they might just gift you a feeling or a sensation.
Perhaps they're communicating through smell.
And just open yourself up completely.
To receive their energy.
Any messages they'd like to offer.
Knowing that you don't have to put meaning to it or try to figure out what they're saying.
Just be there.
Witness.
Listen.
Experience.
Now go into your basket of treasures and grab the rock or the crystal that you picked up from earlier.
Give it to one of your ancestors,
Just one,
And say thank you.
Thank you for supporting me and reminding me always that my foundation is as strong as a rock.
That I am safe and protected.
Therefore fully free to be who I came here to be.
Anytime I see this shape,
Color,
Or specific crystal or stone in the world.
I will know that I am safe and secure because you are with me,
Reminding me of my own inner strength.
Next,
You grab the flour from your basket.
And offer it to the second ancestor.
And say thank you.
Thank you for always guiding me toward abundant beauty.
And reminding me always that I am a being.
Of the most beautiful light.
That this life is one of enchantment and miracles,
Even when things feel challenging.
There is still so much beauty to feel,
Experience,
And share.
Whenever I'm in a state of doubt or hiding behind my shadows.
Show me this flower.
Or this color,
Or share with me this aroma.
And I will remember that you are with me.
And beauty is alive around me and within me,
Always.
And now,
Grabbing the fallen leaf from your basket.
And gifting it to the third ancestor.
And say thank you.
Thank you for constantly guiding me into a state of courageous transformation.
And evolutionary growth.
Thank you for reminding me to change my mind.
For holding space for my growth.
For leading me to the people,
Places,
And experiences.
That will continue to help me transform.
And to the highest version of myself.
Thank you for reminding me that it's safe to let go.
It's okay to loosen my grip.
That in order to continue to grow,
All that is no longer mine to carry must be released.
Whenever I'm resisting change.
Show me this leaf.
Or this tree from which it fell,
So that I will remember to embrace the magic of transformation.
And finally,
Reach into your basket.
And take out that little piece of paper with a single word written on it.
Look at the word one more time.
Notice how it feels to see it now,
Here in the presence of your ancestors.
Gently and kindly graciously offer it to the fourth ancestor and say thank you.
Thank you for reminding me that I am worthy of being here exactly as I am.
Thank you for reminding me that I do not have to hide,
Shrink,
Or become someone other than myself in order to truly belong.
Thank you for helping me to remember the truth of who I am,
Even in those moments when I seem to have forgotten.
Whenever I hear this word spoken or see it written somewhere in the world,
Let it be like a sacred little wink from you,
A reminder that I am seen that I am supported.
That I am valued,
Worthy of living this one wild and beautiful life as fully and truthfully as I possibly can.
A reminder that I'm not here to hide.
I am here to be.
And you take a moment to receive this experience in totality.
Knowing that from this day forward,
The seemingly ordinary word,
Leaf,
Flower,
Or stone will guide you down your path of wholeness,
Truth,
And cellular alignment.
You have an entire team.
And ecosystem beyond the veil who genuinely want to help you,
Guide you,
Support you,
And love you.
They are here to nourish and uplift you no matter what season of life you're in.
No matter what you're going through.
No matter what choices you're making.
They are always here with you.
They want you to know that you can call on them anytime and anywhere.
They can hear you now and always and want nothing but the best for you.
Their soul intention.
Is to shine the light on the altar of your heart,
On the truth of your soul.
So you will have the courage and confidence to be who you came on this planet to be,
All while experiencing the greatest gift one could ever imagine.
The full spectrum of being human.
On this incredible,
Wise,
Divine,
And sacred planet that we get to call home.
Take a deep inhale.
And a long exhale.
With a gentle smile of knowing on your face.
You turn around.
Gratefulness and compassion.
And a heart full of love.
And walk out of the cave.
However,
This time when you come to the cave's opening.
It's now a totally.
.
.
And a completely different experience and landscape.
You now have entered a wide open space.
Maybe for you,
You're visualizing a field of flowers,
Or a beach,
Or the vast expanse of a desert.
Your version of openness,
Spaciousness,
Beauty.
Observe how you feel in this wide,
Open space.
And it's fascinating because there's nowhere to hide here.
And it's so beautiful.
And you feel so alive and so free.
So much beauty and enchantment around you right now.
And within you.
Palpable.
In this wide,
Open space,
Notice the light.
The colors,
The vibrancy.
Give yourself full reign to really be in this space.
Wild and free,
Alive and connected,
Safe and secure,
Even in.
The vastness.
In this openness,
Remember you have the full support of your ancestors at all times.
They will continue to remind you that you are strong beautiful,
Safe.
Capable of transformation.
Filled with magic.
A being of love.
That your life is purposeful and your soul is meaningful.
You are valued and you are worthy.
Take as long as you need in this wide open space.
Maybe now you're running,
Dancing,
Singing,
Frolicking,
Or just sitting,
Lying down and being.
I'm going to leave you here for now.
Receive this medicine,
This magic,
This healing for yourself.
By allowing the space to help you develop an even deeper understanding.
That there is simply no need to hide.
Shrink.
Or hold yourself back.
Your truest self.
We are here to live our lives wholly and fully.
Here to be raw,
Real,
And completely authentic.
Knowing that that is the greatest service we could ever offer the vastness of humanity.
This planet at large.
Consider it your duty.
An actual obligation to those who came before you.
Undergoing their own trials,
Struggles,
And tribulations,
So that you may experience the freedom of worthiness.
Of pleasure.
And of a truthful existence free of shame,
Guilt,
And fear.
Because of them,
You get to live.
Now.
Alive in complete and utter love.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy May you be free and safe from harm.
May you know true and deep inner peace.
Now and always.
Namaste.
