We do not walk this path by ourselves and we come into this world as a part of a lineage.
Whether you resonate with this belief or not,
Consider for a moment the possibility that you have never been alone,
That you have always been accompanied by unseen wise,
Well and compassionate allies.
These allies and helpers are our ancestors,
Our teachers,
Guides from beyond.
They walk with us,
Whisper into our hearts and hold us with love.
Their presence is real,
Steady and waiting for us to listen.
And today,
In this moment,
We are going to invite them in.
Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Now gently bring your awareness to this present moment.
Let go of distractions and settle into yourself.
See what's clinging to your right now.
Maybe emotions arising within you,
Maybe questions or confusion swirl in your mind like a traffic jam of thoughts.
Let them just be.
Give yourself permission to pause.
To breathe and to simply receive.
Breathe in and as you exhale,
Settle your seat.
Feel the support beneath you.
Or if you prefer,
You can also lie down and let your body be fully held by the earth.
Know that in this moment,
You are supported,
Loved and safe.
Now imagine yourself in the most beautiful natural place.
A place where you feel safe,
Where the energy is pure and vibrant.
Perhaps you're leaning against the trunk of an ancient tree,
Sitting by a gentle creek,
Walking barefoot on a sand beach or in a forest.
Let this image arise effortlessly.
And from this sacred space in nature,
Take a deep breath and open your heart with the most sincere invitation.
Allow your energy to expand.
Who is with you,
Who from the other side,
Someone who no longer walks this earth,
Wants to come forward?
This may be a family member,
Pet,
Teacher,
Friend or even an ancestral guide you've never consciously met.
Breathe deeply and gently and please don't rush.
Trust the stillness,
Let it unfold naturally.
Don't reach for an answer and just receive.
Who is here for you today?
Let them come.
Feel their energy before you see them.
Sense their presence before they speak.
What do they look like?
Their face?
Their hair?
What kind of energy do they bring?
Do they have a gentle smile or do their eyes carry deep understanding?
Perhaps they hold both joy and sorrow,
Honoring the fullness of life and all that you carry.
They have love and compassion for you.
They have blessings for you.
Maybe they have a message for you or maybe they simply want you to know that they are there.
Just receive and listen and trust that whatever comes is exactly what is meant for you in this moment.
Notice what arises within you,
Perhaps warmth in your heart or even tears.
Allow yourself to feel whatever comes without any judgment,
Just as it is.
Take a few moments here.
If there is something you wish to ask,
Ask.
Let this space hold you in its stillness.
Now I'm gonna give you a few moments,
There is no rush,
Just be.
When the moment feels complete,
Offer your gratitude in whatever way feels right for you.
Maybe you place a hand on your heart or whisper a simple thank you.
Or maybe you just smile.
Know that this connection remains even as your guide recedes back into the ancestral realm.
They do not leave you,
They are always near.
Now,
Gently and slowly,
Bring your awareness back to this moment.
Feel your fingers.
Take a deep breath and when you are ready,
Open your eyes.
Take a few moments to write down what you experienced.
Whether your guide came through clearly or whether it felt like only silence today,
Honor whatever happened.
You can write today's date and trust that this practice is unfolding in its own perfect way.
Like any relationship,
Your connection with your guides deepens with consistency.
Each time you do a meditation to visit them,
Each time you journal,
You strengthen this bond.
Making it easier to receive their wisdom and guidance.
You are not alone.
You have never been alone.
Your wise and loving guides are always with you.
