Ancestor & Beloved | Ritual & Meditation
Now is the time to connect with your beloved ones who have left this earth.
Now is the time to connect with your ancestors.
As the veil between the physical world and celestial Spirit realm becomes thinner, access this connection with a light blessing.
As a death doula, I often receive requests on how to honor and connect with loved ones who have left this world.
If you are interested in becoming a death doula, learn more about the Death Doula & Self-Awareness Certification & Mentorship program.
Here is a ritual and meditation to HONOR and CONNECT with those who hold space in your heart and have passed over to celestial Spirit realms.
Cultivate a space that is inspiring, quiet, and clean. It is often helpful to perform this ritual in front of an altar or in a sacred space. Find a space that is calming to you.
You are welcome to include photos or memorabilia that connects with your beloved or ancestor. Journal what you receive.

Express Aloud: May the light of grace be with those I love.
May the light of grace be with those who have seen and felt transcendence beyond this world.
May the light and insight revealed to them be shown to me in my heart as well.
As I breathe, I allow love to connect us.
As I breathe, I allow gifts of golden truth to take seed in my heart.
As I breathe, I say thank you for all who come before me and their wisdom.
