This meditation leads you on a remembrance of your lineage and all of the known and countless unknown pieces of life that led to you being here in this moment. What a miracle! This is also a part of a larger meditation series incorporated in this teacher's Reiki Level 1 and 2 Courses. (40)

Tracing Back Your Lineage

Hello! My name is Eden, and I am a therapist, Reiki teacher, and meditation guide. Now whether you've found this meditation through one of my Reiki courses or just through the web of life, welcome! These meditations are intended to deepen your relationship to your intuition and gifts, and facilitate an understanding of your own internal landscape. Each meditation is also a tool that can be offered to yourself or a client, so I invite you to notice what shifts within you before, during, after, beyond the meditation, cataloging the effects with words and feelings and sensations, just letting yourself take note. Allow it to be personal and universal. Let's begin. Finding some stillness and some comfort within your body. Maybe taking a moment to take any little movements that feel supportive to your physical body right now. Something that might let you settle in just a little bit more. Today we usher in our lineages. We allow ourselves to consider and remember where we've come from and what got us right here. So first we just invite in all parts of us that are scattered to the day. Our energy scattered towards our phone, our work, our relationships, our home. Just bringing all of these pieces of self back into you right now. Inviting them in. And then we also invite in all versions of self that exist in other timelines, from other decisions, all these different realities that could have been with different choices. From the small, like what you ate for breakfast, to the large, like where you live, what you do, who you surround yourself with. We usher in all of those what-ifs as well, all of those alternate realities to come back into this version of you right now. Can you allow yourself to relax a little bit more and feel a little more full? And then we soften the mind to open up to our family, our parents, perhaps some siblings. Just inviting them into this space mentally, cataloging your relation to them. Maybe you start to picture a web weaving yourself to them. And then you add into this web, this map of you, those grandparents as well. Maybe you know their names, maybe you invite them in here now too. And we go even further now to those great-grandparents, the parents of all of those people already on the map. Watching as this web, this map grows exponentially with each generation. Maybe you know the great-grandparents' names, maybe you'd recognize their photos, and maybe not, and that's okay. We're just inviting the truth in that they did exist. And then gently opening up this web so you let it take itself much further into the past, into your lineage. And at some point, this does become imaginal, because there's only so much we know about our past, our lineage. May there be beauty in that. Recognizing the vast diversity and amount of people that came before you, that you likely don't even know really existed until you consider them. And we may never know their names, their background, what their life was like, and you are the living embodiment of all of these folks now. This huge lineage that's hard to even wrap our minds around because it could be traced back to the beginning of time and humanness. All of these people are rooting for you. Because you are the current physical embodiment of this lineage. Can you allow yourself to just feel that support from this web for a moment here? Maybe reveling in this beauty, this miracle, this strength, this tether to the past, this support system. All of these people that are rooting for you. You. And all of the beautiful things that have happened and not happened to get you to this moment right here. Right here. The good, the bad, the ugly, not just of your life, but theirs too. How different it could have been. Just knowing all of the choices that went into each of these lives in this web of your lineage. It creates this truth that you, sitting here right now, are a miracle. You're a miracle. The odds of this being the iteration of you that sits here right now is minuscule based on all of these choices and happenstance that happened before you. You are a miracle. Let yourself be. Taking a few breaths to just sit in this mindset, this understanding of self, this feeling of support that extends deep into the past. And thanking everything that got you right here, even those things you don't know existed within the lineage that is hard to claim, but absolutely there. Softening to that miracle. And knowing that today too is a miracle. It's a day that has never, ever happened before, even in the history of everyone that exists in your lineage, in that web and map. This day is a miracle and you exist in it a miracle all in and of yourself. Softening to the miracles here. And taking one more moment here to thank yourself for being right here and nowhere else. And whenever you are ready to rejoin this miraculous day, you can gently blink the eyes open, refocusing them, inviting today in again. Welcome back. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
