Meaningful practice! Did it on Obon (for the first time observing this holiday - thanks to IT 🙏🏼) Although a specific ancestor “showed up” a couple of days prior to Obon (synchronicity in action🕊️❣️), during the meditation I suddenly had a visual of somebody entirely different showing up - as Melanie mentioned in her introductory part;) Even though I DID have a photo of a particular ancestor nearby! It was surprising to me yet it was a pleasant one. Thanks again, Melanie, for making a Special Day even more special. I take it as a reminder to be open and flexible to What IS. Someone must have smiled gently at me from above today as I was all geared up for one lineage of ancestor(s) yet the other one showed up:)))) Gratitude. ✨🏮✨

Another beautifully executed grounding sensory practice. 🥰Instrumental in helping to transition from the Do-ing and into the Be-ing. Loved tapping into the “Sunny Moments” of my memories. The practice transported me from “not enough” and into “all is well.” Gratitude, Melanie, for your Presence and the Gift of Helping Others. Namaste. 🌊🐚🌊✨🕊️✨

Thank you for sharing this meditation. I was able to make a connection with my higher self. I am beginning my journey with cancer. I have good days and not so good days, but I know that as I continue down this path I will be able to provide some type of comfort for others and that gives me so much strength during this time.
