Ancestral Strength Meditation. Let's begin by connecting with
our ancestors. Ask for their permission.
Open your heart. Gently close your eyes, take a

(00:38):
deep breath in and slowly release.
Be patient with yourself. Turn your attention to your

(01:04):
breath only. Breathe deeply and simply
observe your thoughts. There's no need to judge them.

(01:31):
Thoughts may come, that's OK. Greet them of kindness.
You are welcome, and now you maygo.

(01:55):
Let go of the past, release the future, come fully into the
present moment. Now imagine the 2 doors before

(02:21):
you. One is the door of change,
forgiveness and healing. The other leads to more of the
same. Which one will you choose?

(02:44):
Take a deep breath and then takeyour first step.
Visualize yourself walking slowly and naturally toward the
door of transformation, the doorway of forgiveness,

(03:11):
connection, and ancestral healing.
Let us now connect with the feminine lineage of your mother.

(03:36):
See your maternal grandmother, the one who once cared, your
mother in her womb. She gave your mother life and
your mother gave life to you. Now feel the presence of both

(04:07):
women. Women hold strength, mastery and
deep sensitivity. Women open space for the new to

(04:30):
arrive. She's sacred vessel of becoming.
The woman is creation. The woman is strength.

(04:58):
Take another deep breath. Now gently turn your attention
to your father. Visualize his face in a way that
brings you peace. Breathe deeply and naturally as

(05:31):
you look at him. What do you feel?
Sadness. Joy, fear, regret, love,
whatever arises, observe it without judgement.

(06:01):
Now welcome the emotion. Look behind him and see his
mother, your paternal grandmother, whether you knew

(06:22):
her or not, feel her presence. See beyond what you once knew.
Imagine her strength at the beginning of the last century,

(06:53):
her resilience, her will to survive, to raise her children.
Look into her eyes. How many children may she have
lost to Wellness, dehydration, or poverty?

(07:20):
How much pain did she carry, andhow much of that pain reached
your father? Now connect with her mother,

(07:41):
perhaps born during times of oppression or hardship, a woman
without electricity, education, or basic rights.
Feel the greatness of this woman, the strength she passed

(08:07):
down to your grandmother and through her to your father.
What emotions arise? Feel them, welcome them.

(08:36):
Breathe. Bow your head slightly, place

(09:00):
your hands over your heart and give thanks.
She was a victorious woman. Now shift your gaze to your

(09:23):
paternal great grandmother, yourgrandfather's mother.
You may never have known her, but you can sense her energy.

(09:45):
See how much of your grandfather's essence came from
her. What was her connection to the
other woman in the lineage? Now place these three

(10:13):
grandmothers side by Visualize then, smiling, embracing, and
dancing together in a sacred circle, the dance of life.

(10:43):
From that circle they send you ablessing.
Receive it with a gentle smile. Feel their peace, their
forgiveness. Send them light and love.

(11:11):
Go in gratitude. Breathe.
Now prepare to face your mother,standing to the left of your

(11:36):
father. What do you feel in her
presence? Joy.
Pain, respect, guilt, sadness. Simply observe.

(11:58):
Welcome the emotion. Now look behind her at her
maternal grandmother. Oh, that she could not.
He was passed to your mother, and much of what you carry now

(12:24):
comes from her. Bow to her.
Fill your heart of light with forgiveness, with gratitude, and
return it to her. Feel the release.

(12:53):
Feel the peace. Go even farther back to your
maternal great grandmother. Perhaps she was a migrant.
Perhaps she suffered violence, poverty, hunger or loss.

(13:23):
Feel the depth of what she endured and understand how it
shaped the women who came after her.
Now look at your maternal grandfather's mother, perhaps a

(13:47):
strict or controlling figure. Just observe, feel, accept.
Now place these three women together, hugging, smiling and

(14:14):
spinning in a sacred quantum circle.
Bow to them with reverence. Send love, send light.
Feel their blessings. This is the ancestral strength

(14:38):
that now lives within you. Commit to seeking your truth, to
taking risks, to embrace who youare desired.
Welcome it. Celebrate this moment.

(15:05):
Take a deep breath and say silently or out loud if you
prefer. Welcome Grandma.
I accept your presence and your blessing.

(15:26):
With the strength of all the women who came before me, the
strength of courage, the power of love.
I now receive the blessing of life.
I am ready. Take a deep breath.

(16:02):
Come back gently to the present moment with your heart full of
gratitude. Namaste.
Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude.
