In this special bonus content from the "Letters from Aunt Phyllis" episode, hosts Kristen and Amy share a heart-centered grounding meditation perfect for connecting with your guides and ancestors.
The meditation begins with a beautiful reflection on joy as a quiet sense of connection rather than an exuberant expression - "like breathing like the ocean and feeling the trees." Through deep, nourishing breaths, the hosts guide listeners to fill their bodies with "that aliveness, that connection to all things on earth and the cosmos."
The practice focuses particularly on heart energy, with Amy sharing a visualization from her yoga teacher about "billions of light photons that radiate from the heart" with each exhale. This love and light extends outward, "having a ripple effect to the farthest cosmos."
The meditation transitions into a powerful invocation where Kristen calls in soul guides, spirit guides, the divine, and her special guides "the elemental, the lady, and the celt" - as well as her Aunt Phyllis, whose presence becomes central to the episode's profound story. Amy invites her grandmother with "all of her owl wisdom" and "all of my healed wise, loving kind ancestors who help me walk my path."
This brief but potent practice demonstrates the same grounding technique that would later provide undeniable validation of Aunt Phyllis's presence. Use this meditation to cultivate your own connection with guides and ancestors who walk beside you every day.
