Welcome to the sacred space.
This meditation is an invitation to connect with your ancestors,
Those who have come before you guiding and supporting you on your journey.
As we journey together through this forest,
Allow yourself to feel open and receptive to the wisdom and love that your ancestors wish to share.
Find a comfortable position,
Seated or lying down.
Close your eyes gently and take a deep breath in through your nose,
Feeling your lungs expand.
Exhale softly through your mouth,
Releasing any tension or distractions.
Now let's take a few more breaths,
Inhaling peace and exhaling any worries.
Now begin to visualize a beautiful forest.
Imagine yourself standing at the entrance,
Surrounded by tall ancient trees.
These trees stretch towards the sky.
The air is fresh and you can smell the earthy scent of the forest floor.
Feel the coolness of the shade and hear the gentle rustle of the leaves in the wind.
With each breath,
Feel yourself becoming more grounded and connected to the earth beneath you.
Picture roots extending from your body deep into the ground,
Anchoring you securely as you prepare to enter the sacred space.
As you begin to walk into the forest,
Notice the path beneath your feet.
It may feel soft and mossy or lined with leaves.
Each step takes you deeper into the sanctuary of wisdom and peace.
The light flickering through the leaves creates a dance of shadows and some beams around you,
Guiding you forward.
With every breath,
Feel yourself becoming more attuned to the energy of this forest.
It is alive with the presence of your ancestors,
Waiting for you to connect.
As you continue walking,
You come to a clearing.
This clearing is bathed in soft golden light.
And in its center,
There is a circle of stones.
This is a sacred space where your ancestors gather.
Take a moment to stand in this circle.
Close your eyes and open your heart.
Invite your ancestors to join you.
You may feel their presence as warmth,
A gentle breeze,
Or even hear whispers of love.
And support.
When you are ready,
Allow yourself to visualize your ancestors stepping forward one by one.
They may appear as shadows,
Silhouettes,
Or in their full form.
Feel the energy surrounding you,
Feeling you with warmth and strength.
They are here to guide you,
Offering you wisdom and support.
In this sacred space,
Take a moment to connect with your ancestors.
You may choose to ask them a question or seek guidance about a specific area of your life.
What wisdom do they have for you?
What support can they offer during these times?
Allow yourself to listen,
Receive,
And observe.
You may feel sensations,
See images,
Or simply have a knowing.
Trust whatever comes to you,
Knowing that it is your ancestors' love and guidance.
As your time with your ancestors comes to a close,
Take a moment to express gratitude for their presence,
Love,
And support.
You may say a silent thank you or send them love from your heart.
Know that they are always with you,
Guiding and supporting you on your journey.
When you feel ready,
Slowly begin to step back from the circle,
Knowing you can return to this forest of peace and connect with your ancestors whenever you wish.
As you walk back through the forest,
Feel the earth beneath your feet and the air around you.
Take a deep breath in,
Feeling your lungs with the life force of the forest,
And exhale deeply.
When you are ready,
Begin to bring your awareness back to your body.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Feeling grounded in the present moment.
Open your eyes when you feel ready.
Thank you for taking this time to connect with your ancestors.
May their love and wisdom accompany you always.
