This is a special Samhain Dia de Muertos All Hallows Eve edition to help you connect and honor your ancestors.
To really connect in and get the most out of this session,
You'll want to find a quiet place to listen,
Perhaps create an altar for your ancestors and light a white candle.
You can always just listen in to this at your leisure and allow this to work on you in the background.
Let's say a prayer for our ancestors.
I invite you to light a white candle to keep the flame lit amidst the darkness to find our way in the deep exploration.
If you want to have a picture of any of your deceased loved ones,
You can place them around your candle.
If you like to use sage,
Or sweet grass,
Or palo santo,
Or incense,
The spirits love to have a sweet fragrance,
So you can go ahead and light that or just keep it nearby.
Let's close our eyes and dive in.
Taking some deep breaths,
Presencing the self,
Feeling into your energetic bodies,
The space around your physical form,
Sealing off a huge bubble of energy to contain all of you,
All of your energetic extensions,
And asking anything that's not yours to leave this energetic bubble,
Including that of your ancestors or any guides that have come to help you tonight.
We're going to ask them to just stand outside this energetic bubble so you have space to feel yourself,
To claim your space,
To claim your sovereign nature.
So just taking a look above and below,
Behind to the sides,
Asking that your energetic container be cleared of any external influences,
And let's open a grounding cord all the way down to the center of the earth,
Down,
Down,
Down through the layers of the soil,
Rock,
Water,
Into the crust of the mantle of the earth,
Through the lava and down into the crystal iron core at the center of the planet,
The heart of the pure mother.
We're going to anchor our energy there,
Asking her to keep us grounded and safe,
Connected and to keep our container clear.
As you connect into the earth,
You might feel your energy get heavier and stronger.
Your body might feel more dense.
A temperature change could happen.
Just notice any of the subtle energy shifts.
Great mother,
We ask that you keep us connected at all times.
We understand that we're here to help our ancestors to clear the things that have come before us,
That are in our power and in our ability to recreate.
Help us to ground our divine nature,
Our essence,
And the simplistic and precious genius that we carry as we feel this warm embrace of the mother.
Make sure that you're traveling back up the grounding cord,
Keeping it firmly intact.
We ask that all the elementals in the lower realms that are of pure light to tend to our grounding cord to keep it strong,
Firm,
And connected.
We're going to move back up the grounding cord to where we're seated and ask that it move up and over the top of our container so that all of us,
All of our essence in this 3D realm is fully grounded and held by the warm embrace of the great mother.
Let your body settle,
Letting all the muscles in your body relax,
Letting all the energy be discharged down the grounding cord,
Calling on the light of the great central sun to illuminate us from above,
To hold us in perfect harmony,
To hold us in the pillar of truth as we work with our ancestors,
As we illuminate things within us we might not have known before.
Taking a deep breath just to breathe in the light from the central sun,
Breathing it into each and every cell of your body,
Letting it fill your entire energetic container,
Let it merge with the energy of the earth,
Creating the divine union within you,
Bringing these two energies to alchemize right at the point of the center of your heart and letting them spark that star scene,
That luminous nature of your heart.
As it gets ignited,
See if you can turn up your own luminosity to extend out to the farthest reaches of your container,
Let your heart expand and grow,
Noticing the energy expanding and growing behind you,
To the left and the right,
This is where our ancestors reside,
In our blind spot,
In the shadow,
In the wingspan that reaches out from our left shoulder blade and from the right.
Take a moment just to feel into that space behind your back,
Illuminated by your own glow from your heart,
Noticing if you feel any strangeness in the wingspan,
You might feel that one of your wings feels clipped or broken,
Identify the sensation of your winged nature,
Your ancestral inheritance,
Females before you and the other coming from your father's side,
Your father's lineage,
Allowing the energy of your ancestors to take their places,
Feeling them lining up as you focus on them,
Asking the great light of truth,
The central sun to shine down and illuminate your winged nature even more,
Bringing attention and awareness to your familial lineage,
Going back and back from the right and the left,
Asking any family members in your long lineage that are there that need your support,
Assistance or who have a special message for you,
Asking them to come forward,
To stand in front of you or to illuminate themselves and make themselves known to you at this time,
Taking some deep breaths and just allowing time if there's some reason for them stepping forward,
Allow yourself to dialogue as you hold your inner light,
Interacting with this ancestor,
Soul to soul,
Peer to peer,
Letting go of any authoritarian charge,
Neutralizing any push or pull and allowing a safe and neutral space to communicate,
Trusting anything you see,
Feel,
Understand or hear,
Trusting your experience and just allowing it to be what it is,
However rich or simple it appears,
Thanking them for whatever communication you've received,
You can thank them with a small bow,
Any kind of gesture to show your appreciation,
Taking a deep breath and allowing whatever you receive just to sit with you and integrate into your system,
Going back to the space behind you,
Your wingspan,
The long line of ancestors on the left and on the right,
Noticing which is your mother's side,
Which is your father's side,
Scanning the line out behind you,
Taking their place,
Behind your left and your right wing,
Those who are here to guide and assist your work in the world,
To help you recover and remember your full human potential,
As they take their place noticing what you feel,
Noticing what's changed,
Asking the pillar of truth from the central sun to shine down upon us in this moment,
To illuminate our containers,
To help us merge and honor and connect to the great lineages that we stem from,
Asking for one ancestor or the collection of ancestors to share with us what we are a part of,
You may be seeing visions,
You may be communicating directly with one particular ancestor,
Whatever your experience,
Allow it to unfold,
It could be just an energetic sensation,
Using your breath as your guide,
Letting the illumination of your wingspan light up completely,
Filling in any dark holes,
Any broken connections,
You may have noticed that some of your ancestors have left,
Have decided not to work with you any longer,
It's okay,
Wish them well,
Some of you have broke lifetimes of long curses,
Some of you have broken curses that have spanned over many lifetimes,
And your ancestral lineage could be completely dimmed,
This is a good thing,
They no longer have a hold on you,
If you're still struggling with dark ancestral connections,
Ask that the pure light of your spiritual lineage come to replace that energy,
To stand with you,
To guide you in each step of your day and each decision that you make,
In each response that you have,
That their wisdom stands beside you and within you as clear guidance,
Many of you are in the process of recalibrating to an entirely new team,
A new inner circle,
A new guidance system,
As you release the old paradigm,
As you release the old mental constructs,
As you release the decades and centuries of programming that have been placed on you,
As you break free from the enslavement trap of the mental construct and open into your divinity,
Into your spiritual inheritance,
The connection to your ancestral realms,
Shift,
Allow it to do so,
Allow it to to guide you as you think and honor each and every experience,
Even the most difficult ones,
For the lessons they have brought your life have been profound and even for those that are hard to forgive,
The ones who have hurt us the most,
See if you can find in your heart the capacity to release them in forgiveness,
To trust your own soul's design and decision,
To the lessons that they've taught us,
To the inheritance that they've passed down through us,
We take responsibility for the role that we play and we gather our strength from those who guide us,
Who love us and want the best for us and we rise up to take our place,
To take up space,
To be here in the present day,
In the here and now,
Allow yourself to to feel a sense of pride for your story,
For your unique inheritance,
Not a pride that is boastful,
But a pride that is humble and honoring of your unique path.
You may want to stretch your your arms out or just imagine the wingspan behind you,
Notice how large it is,
Let it unfurl,
Let it expand out behind you,
Expanding your container,
The bubble of energy that we have placed around us,
Allow your wingspan to stretch it out as large as it needs to be.
Your wings are like your antenna,
Balancing you in the here and now,
Guiding you,
Keeping you centered so that you don't wobble or fall or swing from one side to the other.
Take a moment to acclimate yourself to this new calibration,
To this new integration,
Letting the pillar of truth illuminate you,
Standing in the center of it,
Feeling the grounding cord,
The mother's deep embrace,
To holding this new formed unity,
This new healed space firmly rooted in the here and now,
Treasuring your unique path,
Anchoring your unique presence,
Honoring your unique ancestral makeup from the earthly realms to the heavenly realms,
Bringing your hands,
The palms of your hands together in the center of your heart,
Pressing firmly to anchoring this presence right in the center of your being,
Turning the palms to face downwards towards the earth in prayer position from the center of your chest and then just slowly guiding the hands down into the earth as you anchor in this new found presence,
Taking a deep breath as you connect it down into the center of the earth and receiving the next inhale from the earth,
Letting the hands move up back to the center,
Turning upwards towards the sky and taking a deep breath up,
Letting your arms in prayer position move up from the center channel of your body,
From your heart up to the top of your forehead and then up to the top of your head and as they reach the very top,
Letting the fingertips separate,
Opening up your hands to the sky,
Letting them spread wider and wider and wider,
Stretching out to the sides of your body,
Feeling the container,
Your energetic container,
How large,
How beautiful,
How vibrant.
You have completed this process,
Take a deep breath and relax,
Take some time to rest or journal,
To walk in nature and allow your body to integrate all that you just experienced,
Letting yourself be a brighter,
Bolder version of your unique inheritance.
Feel free to repeat this process again and again until you feel your wingspan completely illuminated and it is done.
