Begin this meditation by finding a quiet,
Comfortable space where you won't be disturbed.
Sit or lie down in a relaxed position.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in.
As you exhale,
Let go of any tension that you're holding in your body.
Continue to breathe slowly and deeply as you begin to soften,
Relax,
And center yourself in this present moment.
Now use your incredible imagination to feel,
Sense,
See,
Or imagine yourself in a lush and vibrant forest.
This is the heart of an ancient land where your ancestors once walked.
The air is filled with the sounds of nature,
A reminder of the Earth's deep and timeless wisdom.
With each breath,
Feel yourself becoming more grounded,
As if roots are extending from the base of your spine deep into the heart of the Earth.
And as you connect to the Earth,
Imagine these roots reaching further,
Intertwining with the roots of the mighty trees around you,
The guardians of this sacred place.
These trees stand tall and strong,
Their branches reaching up to the heart of the sky,
And their roots deeply connected to the heart of the Earth and to the past,
Present,
And future.
With your next breath,
Envision these roots traveling across time and space,
Connecting you to your ancestors.
See them before you,
The healers,
Their hands aglow with the wisdom of herbal medicines and the power to mend body and spirit.
See the warriors,
Their strength and courage,
Unyielding protectors of their people and their way of life.
And see the medicine people,
The keepers of sacred wisdom and mysteries,
Their connection to the natural world,
A testament to the magic that flows through your bloodline.
Feel the presence of these ancestors gather around you,
Their faces etched with the stories of countless lifetimes.
Their resilience,
Their courage,
And their wisdom flow into you through the roots that connect you.
This is a potent reminder of the strength and magic that now courses through your veins,
A legacy of those who came before you.
As the connection to your ancient ancestors deepens,
A radiant light begins to emanate from within you,
Illuminating the forest and the spirits of your wise ancestors.
This light is a manifestation of your ancestral magic,
A gift passed down through generations now alive within you.
Let this light fill you,
Empower you,
And remind you of the unbreakable bond that you share with your ancient and wise lineage.
Feel the energy of their lives,
Their wisdom,
Their joys and struggles flowing through these roots and into you.
Allow their strength,
Resilience,
And love to fill your being.
As you bask in this connection,
See your light emanating from your heart,
Spreading throughout your body.
This light that represents your magic and power within you,
A gift from your ancestors,
Reminding you of who you are and where you come from.
In this sacred space,
Surrounded by the wisdom of the forest and the presence of your ancestors,
Take a moment to reflect on the things in your life that you are grateful for.
Let each thought of gratitude be like a leaf on the branches of the mighty trees,
Each leaf a testament to the abundance and blessings in your life.
Now feel this gratitude as a brilliant energy radiating from your heart through the roots as a gift to your ancestors and the earth itself.
This is an expression of the cycle of giving,
Receiving,
And belonging that ties all of life together.
Take a few more deep breaths,
Feeling this connection to your roots.
Feel the power within you,
The magic,
And bask in the strength,
Wisdom,
And love of your ancestral roots and the gratitude that fills your heart.
When you feel ready,
Gently retrace the roots back into your being,
Carrying with you the profound connection and the ancestral power you have rekindled.
When you are ready,
Gently bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Take a deep,
Grounding breath,
And as you exhale,
Slowly open your eyes to the present moment,
Renewed,
Empowered,
And deeply connected to the ancient magic of your ancestors.
Thank you for remembering with me,
Madhyosh.
