Transcript

Sit yourself comfortably in a safe space where you won't be disturbed.

But write an alert.

Or else lying down with a straight spine.

Once you're settled in your posture,

Come into yourself.

Notice your breathing.

Notice any sounds inside or outside the room.

Allow them to drift on by.

Now is the time to notice anything you've brought with you today.

Any thoughts,

Emotions or sensations.

And if you're ready,

Just bid goodbye to them.

Otherwise just allow them to be.

Part of your experience,

But not the whole of your experience.

Coming back now to your breathing once again.

Noticing as your breathing naturally slows down,

So you become calm.

Taking a moment now to scan down your body.

From the crown of your head,

Open to inspiration.

Bringing your focus down now to the middle of your head.

Face,

Back of your head,

Your neck and shoulders.

Your left arm and hand.

Your right arm and hand.

Noticing as you scan down your body,

Any areas of tension.

And just breathing into those areas.

Letting them slowly begin to relax all on their own.

Breathing now on your shoulders,

Chest,

Ribs,

Front and back.

Abdomen and lower back.

Moving all the way down to the base of your spine.

Your pelvis.

Your left leg.

Your right leg.

And your feet.

And now with those parts of your body which are touching the earth.

Whether it be just your legs,

Your feet or the whole length of your body.

Allow those parts of your body to surrender to the earth.

Imagine for a moment that you begin to sink into the earth.

Safe.

Dark.

Quiet.

Earth.

Supporting you.

And now it's time to begin.

To invite your ancestors to be with you.

And they may be biological ancestors.

They may be spiritual ancestors.

They may be people who have walked before you on the path of life.

So thinking now of the person or people who came immediately before you.

And they may be alive.

They may have passed on.

Just bringing them to mind.

Acknowledging all that they did to prepare your way.

And to shape your life path.

Imagine that they stand behind you.

Giving you strength.

Giving you presence.

Giving you support.

And now carrying the energy of those people with you.

Bring to mind the people.

The person.

What went before then.

And you may have known them.

Or you may know nothing about them.

Apart from the fact that they went before your immediate ancestors.

And they shaped their life paths.

And acknowledging how important that is.

For you.

And those who went before you.

Recalling the energy of those ancestors.

Within you.

Behind you.

Saving you.

Just bring to mind now the people who went before them.

And again if you don't know very much about them.

Just know that they existed.

And the way that they lived their lives.

Affected your immediate ancestors.

Who affected you?

Just acknowledge now.

How much they've done for you.

And how they too shaped your life path.

Recalling the energy of all these people.

You can imagine now.

This standing behind you into the mists of time.

Acknowledge what each one of them has given you.

How each one of them has enabled you.

To be on your life path.

So you may be picturing all your ancestors standing behind you.

You may be able to feel them.

And to hear their voices.

Open your heart now and say to them in all sincerity.

Thank you.

And I honour you.

You can honour your ancestors in all that you are.

And all that you do in your life.

You can invite them.

If you wish.

To be with you and to stay with you.

And letting the energy of those ancestors.

Enter into you now.

If you so wish.

On their strength.

Their support.

Let joy and pride in you.

And sit with that for a minute.

And now from this centre.

Where you for this time are a vessel of your ancestral energy.

And your mind to your descendants.

These may be your children.

May be people that you teach,

Sponsor or support in some way.

There may be future descendants whom you don't yet know.

Just connect with what it is to be their ancestor.

To be someone who is helping to shape the future for them.

And just be with that for a moment.

Now from this space of knowing your own position within that ancestral line.

With your ancestors behind you.

And your descendants in front of you.

Begin to open yourself to what it is.

To be connected with all life.

As you understand your own connections with people,

Places,

Energies.

Connections that your ancestors had.

The connections your descendants will make.

And understand that you are at the centre of a web.

A vast ever changing web with infinite centres.

And open yourself to that possibility.

From your centre.

With your ancestors behind you.

And your descendants in front of you.

The web of life all around you.

Send out blessings.

Send out love.

And send out healing.

And send out protection.

Knowing that each blessing that comes from you also comes through you.

So that you too receive this blessing.

Now giving thanks to all that is in this web of connections.

And thanks to your descendants.

And most of all,

Giving thanks to your ancestors.

Knowing that they are always close.

And then allowing now any visualisation you may have had to dissolve.

Starting to come back to your awareness of yourself and the space around you.

Noticing any physical sensations.

Any sounds that are around you.

Within or without.

You may begin to make small movements.

And whenever you're ready,

You can open your eyes.

You may perhaps go for часes,

There is a time frame when you realize Roberts talks about
