So supporting your body.
Allowing your breathing to come easily and just as slowly and deeply as is right for you.
Turn your awareness inwards to the stillest,
Quietest,
Gentlest dark within you.
Just go inwards now.
And deep inside you is a beautiful thread that you can touch and follow through that sacred inner space.
Notice the thread.
It's light,
It's look,
It's feel,
Any scent it has as you follow it through your internal landscape until you reach the tapestry.
And on that tapestry is the place of the ancestors.
And recall that place and notice as you step into the tapestry and the place of the ancestors begins to materialize around you.
You may wish to light a fresh candle,
Pour a libation or offer flowers,
Words or song to announce your presence and communicate reverence to your ancestors.
Intend that this place is open to any loving ancestors of family who would like to work with you.
And spend a moment more in stillness,
Noticing whether you see,
Hear or feel any reply from the ancestors.
Sense into the place of the ancestors.
Allow yourself to perceive how it looks how it's shaped how it feels to be in there.
Any sounds any sense the presence of the ancestors nearby.
Place a hand on your heart to ground you into your body and call with all your being for the loving ancestors of family to be with you now.
Call to mind a part of yourself that you really like.
It could be anything,
A physical attribute an interest,
Passion or ability that you have a way of thinking,
Of seeing things or engaging with the world or some other part of your identity.
We'll call this part of yourself your gift.
Somewhere in the past,
One of your ancestors of family will have had that same gift.
You may know who that was or you may have no idea.
That's okay.
Invite that ancestor into the space now and allow them to reveal themselves to you in a way that's appropriate.
So you may see their face,
Hear their voice or feel their presence.
Sense their presence in some other way.
When they've joined you,
Express your gratitude for passing on to you whatever the gift was.
Acknowledge that they may once have thought of it as a part of them and that now you are experiencing it as a part of yourself.
Tell them how you're using it,
How it impacts your life.
If you choose and you're willing and able to follow through on your promise you can pledge to use this gift well.
As a way of honoring them,
Remembering them every time you use it.
They may want to give you their blessing or their own gratitude or to share with you something about themselves,
Their experience and who they were.
Allow this space to be one now in which you can listen to anything they wish to communicate to you.
If you choose,
You can ask this ancestor to share with all of your loving ancestors of family that you would like to work with them now and invite them to show up for you in appropriate ways.
You might make them aware of any support that you would like or ways in which you would like to tend to this ancestral connection.
Give thanks now to the ancestor you've connected with and any other ancestors who've shared the space and begin to take your leave.
Step out of the place of the ancestors and out of the tapestry.
Finding the thread which led you here.
Begin to follow that thread back through your sacred inner landscape until you reach the place within which is where you started.
Begin to bring your awareness outwards now.
Aware of your body,
Your physical posture,
Any sensation.
You may wish to make a movement and as you do so become aware of the sounds around you,
Close by and further away.
Take three deep breaths as you intentionally bring yourself back into this moment,
Opening your eyes and returning to your surroundings.
Have a wonderful rest of your day.
