Hello,

I'll invite you now to begin by finding a comfortable and quiet place.

As you settle into this place,

Notice your breath and how it naturally attends to any areas of tension in your body.

As you continue to attune to this breath,

You can start to close your eyes or lower your gaze and imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet,

Anchoring you to the earth.

Visualize these roots reaching deep into the ground,

Connecting you to the energy of the earth.

Take a few moments to feel this connection.

As you continue to feel grounded and supported,

I invite you to visualize in your mind's eye a path leading you to a beautiful ancient forest.

As you walk along this path,

You notice the presence of your ancestors around you.

They are there to support and guide you.

Feel their presence and their love.

You may start to sit down on the forest floor and in your mind,

Speak to your ancestors.

Share your concerns and the challenges you are facing in these unsettling times.

Trust that they are listening with open hearts.

Now sit in silence for a moment and listen.

Your ancestors may communicate with you in thoughts,

Feelings,

Or subtle signs.

Be open to receiving their guidance and their wisdom.

They have faced their own challenges and can offer their insights.

Notice as they do,

A warm,

Comforting light radiating from them and surrounding you.

Feel their love,

Feel their support filling you with strength and courage.

Allow this energy to flow through your entire being.

Notice if you can expand this energy out to your future descendants,

Shifting your focus to them,

Those you may already know,

Those that have yet to come.

Send them love,

Send them blessings,

Send them this light.

Imagine a bright and peaceful future for them.

As you continue to be in this energy,

Connect once again to your breath.

And with each breath,

Affirm to yourself,

I am strong.

I have the wisdom of my ancestors to guide me.

I send love.

I send blessings to my descendants,

Wishing them a future filled with happiness and peace.

Observe all that is present here.

Allow yourself to take all the time you need,

Remembering you can always revisit this practice whenever you feel the need to connect with your ancestors and send positive energy to your descendants.

Return your awareness to the present moment when you are ready.

Thank you for your practice.
