ancestral connections 101

I have gathered many gems along my path of rooting in ancestral connections. Today, I want to share just a few that I always find myself returning to:
🔑
1) Allow your practices to be authentic to who you are. If your practices don’t resonate, you’ll be less likely to engage them. I habitually ask myself what practices reflect where I am right now. Sometimes, that connection practice looks like savoring a walk after school drop-off and meditation. Other days, it looks like making school lunches with a full heart and tired hands.
🔑
2) Simple offerings and rituals are the most potent. We don’t have to partake in grand rituals and make elaborate offerings. There is a time and a place for everything; simplicity is key. Our ancestral ecosystems delight in being woven into the magical and the mundane aspects of our lives. What do you have access to today that can serve as a love offering of beauty to these ecosystems? Is it your laughter, a leaf, or libations? The possibilities are endless.
🔑
3) Allow your practices to evolve. We are always growing and changing, and so should our connection practices. Today, I have more skills and resources to engage in ways that didn’t seem possible years ago. Our connection pathways evolve as we become students of our own hearts and begin to trust our medicines. The question is, are you willing to trust your heart and your medicines?
