We are in northern Spain as holiday time begins, and with an active nervous system and all that I see on my feed on social media, it’s been hard to relax I’ll be honest. Yesterday was particularly heavy and I think I’m also feeling grief of our world and dismay for how little response many people have to it...
I know we are all overwhelmed with too much information, too much bad news etc. Even though I’m one who tries to uplift others, I’m one of you too. Monitoring how much we take in is important. I remember years ago when I threw away the last TV I owned and stopped watching the news seeing how fear based it was. Yet now I’m at a different place. I feel the importance of noticing and being informed enough as so much is happening without us knowing. Being informed “enough” is a good strategy I find.
The last module in my Family Constellations training program included the Ancestor Field, and I was inspired finding many small stones near a pond yesterday to do my own ritual with them. Not having my own rattle with me, I improvised with the box of matches and matches fell out two times on the maternal lineage. I prayed with and for them and offered some light in the form of the match. 🕯️
I’m here on vacation without some of the resources I would use otherwise, yet ancestors can be with us at any time. No matter your beliefs or traditions, we all have ancestors. We all came from a Field of people who made our lives possible!
I grew up in a tradition where ancestors went to heaven and we didn’t speak much of them again. Some even find it wrong to do so! And what a pity as they can be a force of life to support us in times of need. Yesterday was one of those for me. This was a fun way to meet them and it did uplift me too.
