So Let’s Begin…

THE ANCESTOR MEDITATION SCRIPT

Take a minute

to close your eyes

and just retreat

into yourself.

PAUSE

Breathe.

And, as you breathe,

let go of those thoughts and worries

cluttering your mind.

See them floating away like tiny balloons.

PAUSE

Now, breathe again.

And, while you’re breathing,

allow yourself to hear

a tiny whisper in the air.

a whisper of the past.

It is the whisper of an ancestor.

PAUSE

Imagine, now,

that the whisper grows louder

as if it’s near you,

right by your ear.

What does the voice say?

Let yourself listen.

PAUSE

Now, take a deep breath,

and imagine that the whisper

takes a form.

Imagine that you can see and hear

your ancestor standing before you.

What do they look like?

Do they look the way you expected they would?

PAUSE

Now, breathe in deep,

and ask the ancestor a question.

Breathe some more,

and listen to their answer.

PAUSE

Now, imagine that question and answer

become a conversation.
And during the conversation,

your ancestor tells you

something about yourself

that generations before you also shared.

What is it?

Take a moment to let it sink in.

PAUSE

Now, breathe again.

And imagine that your ancestor

leans in close 

and whispers 

secret advice–

advice meant only for you.

What advice did you receive?

Hold it close.

PAUSE

Now, take a moment,

and reflect on the advice,

knowing that it is passed on to you

from those with 

years, decades, centuries 

of wisdom.

Knowing that it is meant 

for you to carry on

into your future.

Express your gratitude

for this wisdom,

and acknowledge to yourself

that you will carry with you.

Always.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
