Honour Your Ancestors

Hello,

In this meditation we will be tuning in with our ancestors.

It's not something that I'm particularly well versed in,

But I'll share this from my recent part.

For some reason the notion had come into my mind to honor your ancestors.

In fact now I recall it,

I remember the reason.

I watched Gladiator,

And if any of you have ever seen that film you'll know how the main character Maximus seeks to honor his ancestors.

I didn't really want to go online and looking up what it meant or what and how I should do it,

But peculiarly,

Just like in the film when thinking of his family,

I saw a robin,

And I sat and meditated and just set that intent to honor my ancestors.

I stayed for the evening with my mum the next day,

And I asked a simple question,

How was my grandmother?

And it inspired one of those wonderful evenings where you just talk and share,

And I learned all about my family,

And I could feel the presence and the love in the room.

What was shared brought fresh light to my behavior and a greater understanding of that mechanical part of the spiritual world manifesting into the material through us.

The families that we're born into,

The relationships that we have,

The things we repeat and refine that ebb and flow through the ages,

To be what?

To be healed.

So breathing in and breathing out.

Feeling into that space around you.

Now as you've already pressed play on this meditation and set that intent,

Breathe into the moment that you're in,

And breathe out.

Don't try and set yourself that technical challenge of what to do to get in the zone,

But just feel that space,

That energy that you're holding now.

Breathe in to rise up and meet it,

Breathe out to soften and receive it.

And with each breath out,

Just feel yourself softening,

Coming down,

Coming into you,

Like you're sinking into your heart from your bottom,

Coming up from the top.

Breathing in,

Feeling that warm,

That tingling in your chest,

That tingling in your heart.

Just for a moment,

Just for a couple of minutes,

Breathe in and breathe out.

And just feel and accept that vibration,

That invitation,

Before we get to the deep stuff.

So just breathing in,

Breathing out,

Letting your energy meet the energy around,

To become one.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Above your head,

Just gently imagine that through time,

Through space,

Through your ancestral life,

Through your mother,

Through your father,

Flowing down,

Down into the top of your head and into your chest,

Into your heart.

Feel it mix and mingle with your chest,

Just like a stream of information were just like a stream of water would being poured into a vessel.

And feel that stream flow down through your body,

Down past your hips,

Past your thighs,

Past your knees and down deep through the soles of your feet,

Through roots,

Deep down into the earth.

Almost like that wave from above,

That flow from all that has been before,

From your parents and your parents' parents and their parents and their parents and their parents.

All that knowledge and love and richness flowing into you,

Vibrating in you,

Into your body,

Into you,

As you are right here,

Right now.

Like you're the tuning fork just singing that song in your way.

Singing that song that's been given to you in your voice and rooting it down through your body,

Past your knee,

Into the earth,

Here and now.

So as you're in this flow,

Like all my meditations I'll be doing it too,

Just let something bubble to the surface in your chest that's kind of got a bit of armour there,

Something unresolved,

Something charged,

Waiting to be loved.

Without the need to understand or to judge,

Just bring that to your awareness using whatever imagery comes to you.

Feel those waves from your ancestors calling on their wisdom to flow in through you and surround that place with love,

Breathing out.

Still breathing in and breathing out.

And if you have children,

Feel those waves coming waves from you,

Adding to the stream that's swimming through them and like a ripple.

Feel that love flow back up,

Back out into your ancestry and see how you're all healing together.

As you're breathing in and breathing out,

Bring your awareness to that body around your body,

That feeling of being bigger than you might actually be,

The energy around you.

Feel that and feel your skin at the same time,

Feel your flesh and your bone,

And feel how they all gently radiate and work and support each other,

Just different levels of vibration again.

And from the middle of your chest,

Like you're sending up a search light,

Up through your chest,

A golden cord through your neck,

In to your brain.

And feel like you're just bringing all those levels of your being into one awareness.

And link and feel into the energy and the presence of your ancestors.

Feel the lightness of the love that's there.

And just let that space be held for you,

Just to clear now anything that's ready to go.

Breathing in,

Breathing out,

Feeling the thousand smiles of those who have been before,

Shining around and down on you.

When all is said and done,

Everything is exactly as it should be.

And everything that happened,

Every triumph and every injustice,

Brought you to here and now.

Wherever you are with that.

Honor your ancestors,

Honor yourself,

And shine that gratitude out from the middle of your chest,

Into your body,

Into your skin,

Into that field around you,

And out into the world.

Gratitude for what is.

As you begin to kind of slowly bring yourself back,

Feeling that feeling of being bigger than you are,

Just draw back with every breath in.

Like you're bringing it back down,

Down to your body,

Through your skin,

Through your flesh,

Deep into your bones.

Just imagining and seeing your skeleton,

Let the bones of your ancestors hold all of that knowledge,

Vibrating it,

Living and loving it.

Feel the room around you,

Feel the space around you,

And when you open your eyes,

Open them to a new world.

Don't be startled,

Be excited.

Take care and let this meditation settle over the next couple of days as you really feel that love.

You know,

One of the terrible things is feeling like you're alone,

Especially when you're obviously not.

Take care and I'll see you again soon.

Bye for now.
