Welcome to this guided visualization and meditation meeting your ancestors.
I'm your host Nicole Seeger and I'm so happy you're here with me.
I designed this meditation for you to allow and come into a space of receiving and retrieving the gifts and blessings of your ancestors.
Before we get started please find yourself in a comfortable seat either sitting up with an erect spine or lying down with something that supports you underneath your knees head.
Maybe you would like to have a blanket on your body to be comfortable and warm.
Whatever resonates most please get comfortable first.
And once you're settled in I would like you to tell yourself that you are in sacred and safe space held by unconditional love,
Self-compassion,
Joy,
Illumination,
Forgiveness,
Respect for yourself and your path.
Settling down in your body begin by feeling your own energetic field,
Your own energy.
And before we begin I would like you to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible.
Beginning at the crown of your head bringing your energy and your compassion there and relax.
Relaxing the temples,
Forehead,
The area around the eyes,
Nose,
The bands that can close around the head,
Relaxing.
Relaxing the whole front of your face,
The jawline,
The area behind and just in front of your ears,
Relax.
The whole back of your head,
Relax.
Relax your neck,
Front and back of your neck and shoulder area,
Relax.
Your chest,
Your heart,
Your muscles around your heart,
Relax.
Relax the whole upper back in between the shoulder blades,
The arms,
The elbows,
The wrists,
The palms and the back of your hands all the way down to the fingertips,
Relax.
Relax the area just in underneath your ribs,
The solar plexus,
The ribs,
Your stomach,
Abdomen,
Lower abdomen,
Relax.
Your legs starting from your hip area and hip joints down into your thighs and knees.
Your shins and calves,
Ankles and every toe,
Soles of the feet,
Relax.
Relaxing now the whole torso including the pelvic bowl,
The hinges of the hips,
Front and back of your body,
The whole chest area and your whole back,
Relax.
Finding yourself magnetically drawn into the floor,
Into the earth,
Receiving the grounding,
Safe codes of our earth,
Mama.
I want you to imagine that you're in a sacred and safe space,
A place on this earth that you love and appreciate for it's making you feel at home,
Safe and grounded in your body.
When you arrive there,
Lay down,
Whether it's in nature,
Grass,
On the floor of a building,
On sand,
Just lay down and relax.
In the space you have an elder and wisdom keeper,
An old medicine woman approaching you.
She's telling you that she has a gift for you today.
She wants you to place your attention around you in a circle.
She's informing you that in a moment your ancestors will come and join you and they will come with gifts and presents for you.
She says that this time on earth being a human can be challenging,
Overwhelming and your ancestors are here to support you.
She begins by declaring that the first row of ancestors from your feminine and masculine line are right here behind you.
The feminine lining up between your left shoulder,
Mother,
Grandmother,
Great-grandmother,
Great-great-grandmother,
All the way back to ten generations back.
Embrace and receive them.
Feel their presence.
And now you're receiving your masculine lineage behind your right shoulder.
Mother,
Father,
Grandfather,
Great-grandfather,
Great-great-grandfather,
Again going back ten generations.
Imagine that you can lean back and into their support,
Into their arms.
They have lived,
Might still do.
They have overcome challenges.
And they know a thing or two about life.
Let them guide and support you on this journey.
Now your ancestors are surrounding you in a circle.
Very specific ancestors come to you today for support,
For nourishment,
For reassurance,
For healing.
Your first ancestor approaches,
Comes right up to you,
Has a gift for you.
Receive that gift,
Whatever it may be.
Allow it to come to you and thank your ancestor for their blessing.
Now your next ancestor approaches.
And he,
She comes bearing another gift for you,
Holding out your hand,
Receiving the next gift from your ancestor.
Keep breathing gently.
And you have another ancestor approaching you with another gift for you.
Receive it and enjoy.
Breathing gently into your heart with gratitude and acceptance.
Your next ancestor approaches bearing more gifts for you.
Receive,
Allow,
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
The last ancestor now comes forward and approaches bearing gifts for you.
Receive this last set of gifts from one of your ancestors.
Really receiving,
Allowing the blessings and offering of this gift for you from your ancestors,
A member of your lineage has come before you.
Take a moment and take in the beauty and the offerings that you have received from your ancestors.
Those who have walked before you have come here today to remind you that you are the new ancestors and that they wanted to gift you with what they thought supports and helps you on the path ahead.
They wanted to show you their gratitude for you being here,
Showing up and living,
Still carrying their codes,
Their DNA,
Their experiences within them.
They remind you that through self-love and acceptance,
They remind you that through self-love and acceptance and doing the inner work of acknowledging emotions,
You are honoring them as well.
Take a deep breath in and out.
With the next breath in,
Receiving all the blessings from your ancestors.
All their lived experiences,
Their gifts,
Their offerings of gratitude.
Their special blessings that support you on your path.
Their joyfulness,
Playfulness,
Their humor.
Enjoy.
Your ancestors carry the life stream that you are continuing to live.
Ask them now for something specific in this moment that would help you and support your journey.
Ask them for their blessing,
Their guidance and protection in any area of your life.
Bringing your hand to your heart,
Receive.
Stay with your ancestors a while longer.
You may journal,
Draw,
Paint or just sit in silence after this meditation.
Take your time,
Ground in and integrate everything.
And we'll connect back again soon with my love always.
