I haven't posted in a while. There have been a few deaths in my close circle and there will be a few more soon. In my spiritual community. While I have faith that they are going to a good place and will be met by the ancestors, I fear a little for the community left here on earth dealing with grief.
So I came up with a guided meditation.
Imagine the tree of life in the center of the circle. See all the people you care about standing around it in a circle. See ribbons of light leaving the tree trunk, floating out, and attaching to each person in the circle at the heart. Each ribbon a different color. Notice how they interweave as the people now dance around the tree. Perhaps they do a maypole pattern. See the web of light woven tight between you.
Now see the ones who have left slowly floating up towards the clouds. Their ribbon falls back down towards the earth, as they enter a different reallm, no longer tethered here to the tree of life. Or they take those ribbons with them up into the clouds and the beyond. They are still able to contact us, but they are not grounded to earth. Feel for a moment the break in the matrix, the weakening of the web.
Now see the new young ones coming. See them pick up the ribbons which were dropped, or receiving their own new ribbons. See the web weave tight again, filling the spaces which were left open. Feel it strengthening and tightening.
Watch the people dance. See the tree at the center as you circle with your heart ribbon connection to the tree. Feel the people around you, and those above looking down. Feel the earth beneath your feet.
Breathe in.
Be well.
