In this meditation, we meet our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents by a fire in the woods. We receive the gifts our ancestors are offering us - some as they are offered, and some after purifying and cleansing in the fire. We take in how miraculous it is that it took all of these people to come together in order to give us life.

Transcript

And take a big breath in and all the way out.

And just find yourself walking on a path in nature,

In a forest.

And there's a real stillness and it's dusk.

And you can feel nature sort of settling in for the evening's rest.

And as you walk along,

You come to a clearing and there's a fire.

And you're the first one to arrive.

So you pick a log and sit on the log and look at the fire.

And this fire is a bit unusual because it's purple flame,

Violet flame.

And somebody's joining you now.

And this someone is your mother.

So get up to greet your mother,

However feels right for you.

And your mother has a gift for you.

And tune in to what this gift feels like for you.

Does it feel like a really bright,

Light and beautiful gift?

Or does it feel like a gift in strange wrapping paper?

So does it feel like this gift is hidden in amongst what's surrounding it?

So if you feel to and the gift feels like an energy of just bright light,

You can accept it.

If it feels like a gift that comes in strange wrapping paper,

I invite you to immerse it in the violet flame in the middle of the logs.

And just allow the violet flame to cleanse this energy.

And now retrieve the gift out from the violet flame and notice what color it is,

What qualities it has now,

And decide whether you'd like to accept this gift now that it's been cleansed and purified and restored to its original beauty and intention.

And I invite you to thank your mother for wanting to give you these gifts to the best of the ability that she had or has.

And your mother goes and finds herself a log and settles herself in there.

And as she does,

Your father enters the clearing.

Thank you,

Father,

However feels right to you.

And notice that he has a gift for you as well.

So just notice if it's just pure light or if it needs cleansing as well.

And if it needs cleansing,

I invite you to put it into the violet flame.

And retrieve it from the violet flame and just notice whether you feel to accept this gift or not.

And your father goes and sits down on a log.

And now your mother's parents come along.

And your mother's parents' parents.

And notice that they all have gifts for you.

Greet them however feels appropriate to you.

And the gifts that feel like they arrive in strange wrapping paper,

Just put them in the violet flame and allow them to be cleansed and purified and restored to their original energy of beauty and light.

And retrieve the energies from the flame and just accept all the gifts that you feel to accept.

And your grandparents and great grandparents go and take a seat on a log somewhere around the fire.

And now your father's parents come to the clearing.

And your father's parents' parents.

Again,

Greet them in whichever way seems appropriate.

Accept any gifts you feel to straight away and the ones you don't.

Just put them in the violet flame for cleansing.

And retrieve the gifts from the flame and decide whether or not you would like to keep these gifts or whether you return them to the person that was offering them to you.

And your father's parents and your great parents take a seat on the log.

And you're standing there looking at this circle of people who had to come together for you to be possible right now.

Just take a moment to breathe in just how miraculous that is.

If it wasn't for all these people,

The gift to the world that is you would not have been possible.

And take a moment to look at all the gifts that you have collected from each one of your ancestors that are present here today.

And notice how diverse and exceptional and unique this combination of gifts is that you've been given by your ancestors.

And also notice the courage and the strength,

A determination and self-worth it has taken to be given some of these gifts that might have been well intentioned but arrived in ways that were unhelpful to you at the time.

The courage that it took by you to transform and transmute these gifts into bright,

Beautiful shining light.

Take the best out of that and let go of what didn't serve.

Because you are somebody who arrived here to break the generational curses.

And I now invite you to take the gifts that you have decided to accept and just tuck them into your energy field somewhere that feels right.

Whether it's in a pocket,

In a basket,

Or you just integrate it into your energy field in some way.

And know that while all of these gifts have helped you to become the person that you are today,

They're just that,

They're gifts that you can choose to use or not.

And then I invite you to look at all these people in the circle around you.

They each still hold the energy of their gifts.

And if you're able to forgive them for not doing better,

They didn't know some of them and you can't teach what you don't know.

And some people might have done something that was unforgivable and in that case,

Please just ask them to leave the clearing.

And for the rest of your ancestors,

Give them a gift too.

Give them a smile.

Let them know that they contributed to something amazing and magnificent on this earth,

Which was you.

Give them gratitude for the gifts that they gave you and allow them to leave the clearing as well.

And when everybody's gone,

Give gratitude to the violet flame.

And I invite you to make your way back along the path and back into your room.

Take a big breath in and out.

Wriggle your fingers and your toes and open your eyes when you're ready.
