Ancestor Prayer/Meditation

Objective

  1. To energetically, emotionally, philosophically untangle from:
  1. What's holding you back from the past
  2. Concerns and anxiety about the future

  1. Restore the flow of love in your family line. Liberate you from shame, suffering, and old patterns. When you choose a new path, in service to love and aliveness, it ripples through time and everyone gets an upgrade, both your Ancestors and Transcestors

Process

Repeat each section (x2)

Ground, take 3 deep breaths and repeat these lines in your mind/ or out loud after I say them (let your imagination visualize & animate what you are saying):

Dear ancestors, I bow to you respectfully

Thank-you for my life

I honor all your sacrifice and suffering

Particularly those of you who were shamed, hurt or killed

You have a place of dignity in this family

I acknowledge your pain & your courage

Your suffering was not in vain

My freedom sits on top of your hardships

I am so grateful to be alive

In order to reach our family’s highest potential 

I take this gift of life with me into my future (gesture of taking)

And leave that shame & suffering with you (gesture of leaving))

Thank-you for your contribution to my life

>> TURN AND FACE DIRECTION OF YOUR FUTURE (those who come after you, those you impact)

I’m grateful to have my life

I trust you are too

I am learning to expand my awareness

By attuning to my body

Bringing attention to my emotions

My heart is healing, my suffering is lessening

With tenderness towards my self

I surrender judgment

I surrender violence

I surrender shame

As the leader of my family system

I move forward with reverence & respect

On behalf of all US, I will live my life fully

I’ll honor my aliveness & create my future

Expressing my own truth, on behalf of all of us

Feeling faithful

Feeling worthy

Feeling loved

I imagine you all clapping for me

For when I succeed, we ALL succeed

(Imagine all your ancestors behind you, cheering for you representing the family system, imagine all those you impact or who come after you cheering)
