Welcome beautiful heart,
Powerful being,
Sensitive soul in this world back to another guided journey and meditation from my heart to yours.
Today's experience and meditation holds the intention of ancestor connection,
Ancestral connection,
Opening up your heart,
Your field to receive guidance to connect to ancestors and receive any gifts that want to be given.
So when you're ready you can close your eyes and take a big powerful breath with me in through your nose into your belly and out through your mouth and in your nest in your meditative space allowing yourself,
Your body,
Your spirit,
Your mind to soften by five percent and each breath in and out another five percent.
Nothing to force,
Nothing to chase,
Just a slow returning back to a connection that's always here.
With me now feeling held and safe starting to drop deeper and deeper in this container with me I invite you to imagine yourself standing at the edge of an ancient living forest.
A place that for you,
For your heart,
For your intuition,
You've always known.
A place that remembers your name.
Feel with your senses,
With your feet,
The ground beneath your feet.
Feel the warmth,
Steady welcoming of this forest,
This opening.
And as you take your first steps forward with your other senses,
With your other sensual aspects,
Notice how the air changes as you step deeper and deeper into this forest.
How the temperature shifts.
How the wind moves.
Like the forest itself is exhaling around you.
Start to notice the colors,
The greens,
The glowing velvets,
The pinks,
The golden light filtering through ancient branches,
Ancient leaves.
Start to smell the sap,
Smell the forest floor,
Smell the earthiness,
Maybe some rain.
Notice the sounds of leaves whispering their beautiful secrets.
A distant bird.
The steady heartbeat of your own ancient footsteps on the soil.
Let the forest with all of your senses wrap you,
Hold you,
Remind you in this ancestral connection how safe,
How welcomed,
How ready,
How not alone you've ever been.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Walking deeper and deeper into this forest with each breath,
The noise of your day and your mental scape dissolving.
Each step you feel yourself sinking into a more ancient rhythm.
Branches swaying,
Breeze continuing to brush your cheeks like a loving friend.
Everything intentional,
Everything placed perfectly.
And it's here you notice the veil around you,
The portal to the unknown.
Consciousness and spirit thinning and your heart starts to beat a little quicker with excitement.
As if something is coming.
Ahead,
Once more,
You now see a glow.
The warm flickering light of a fire waiting just for you.
Waiting as if it was always there with an invitation,
Always there with an opening for something that you need.
As you approach,
You notice the crackling wood,
The warmth touching your skin,
The smell of the fire stretching its light towards you.
And you sit.
You sit down by the fire,
Feeling even more safe,
Even more welcome.
Allowing the warmth,
The fire itself to move up your legs into your belly,
Across your chest and your heart,
And letting it ground you.
Letting it soften something in you that has been tight for too long.
And as you continue to breathe and experience this fire and see the flames rise and fall,
You watch once more the air around you shift,
Change,
Dance in a rhythm and realize that someone is arriving.
Across the fire,
In an opening in the woods,
A figure begins to appear.
Slowly,
Gently,
Like a memory long forgotten in your unconscious,
Returning.
You don't need to see their face clearly,
You feel them before your mind recognizes them.
Maybe in this moment,
It's an ancestor you knew.
Maybe it's one from far beyond your remembered lineage.
Maybe it's an older,
Wiser version of you.
However,
Their appearance,
Their energy,
Their heart is appearing to you.
Notice it.
Allow this energy in.
Allow it in like a warm,
Grounded,
Steady presence.
Like the forest itself and your heart are speaking through them.
They sit with you in silence at first,
But a silence that feels very loving,
Very safe.
A silence that reminds you that you belong,
That you are seen without needing to explain a single thing.
Then,
Out of this silence,
Out of this safety,
I invite you with your own internal dialogue to ask confidently and brightly,
What do you want me to remember?
What do you want me to remember?
Letting this ancestral connection run through this question and allowing the answer to come in whatever form it wants.
Words,
Images,
Sensations are knowing.
Receive it.
Open your heart to it.
And let it land in you so you can take it.
And as you breathe in this answer,
You continue to allow it to move deeper.
You also see your ancestor reach into their cloak,
Their hands,
Or their heart and pull out,
Reveal a gift.
This gift might be an object,
A symbol,
A color,
A word,
Maybe a feeling they wish to share.
Much like your answer to your question,
Allow and notice not just what it is but how it makes you feel.
What is triggered in response to this gift?
You may hear continued birds and have your senses activated from the forest as these gifts and words land inside of you.
But here in this moment,
Allow and accept that all of it is something to guide you,
To protect you.
To empower you and something you can take into every aspect of your life.
So trust that what has arrived is perfect.
You see your ancestor place a hand over their heart and look at you with deep,
Deep love and reverence.
A love and reverence that is older than time and older than the stories that your mind keeps you in loops around.
This look holds the message that you come from so much strength.
You come from a line that holds you.
And you came here to be in this moment to know that you were never meant to walk it alone.
So with me now breathe all of this in,
Breathing in and breathe out resistance.
Going again,
Breathing it all in and breathing out resistance.
Taking a few more moments to anchor these messages,
These gifts,
This ancestral knowing into your spine,
Your belly,
Your chest and your heart.
Noticing and giving permission to the ancestor now to slowly fade back into the light,
Back into the forest air and the breeze.
Noticing the fire softening and the forest beginning to glow with a tender and quiet peace.
As if today,
For now,
Work has been done,
Connection has been remade.
When you're ready you can stand up,
Turn back toward the path that brought you to this space.
And walk slowly and gently back through the forest,
Each step,
Each breath deepening.
As you return back into your body,
Back into your room and container that you started in.
Before opening your eyes,
Making the intention and the commitment to embody the message,
To embody the gift,
To embody this ancestral connection.
In all the spaces and places you step into from this connection.
Opening your eyes and coming back.
