Slowly scan your body from feet to head, noticing any sensations or energies.
Affirm: "My body is a vessel for divine wisdom and mystery."
🌼 Ancestral Connection
Place your hands over your heart. Imagine a golden thread connecting you to your ancestors and elders.
Feel their presence, their wisdom, their love flowing into you.
Silently say: "I am open to the guidance and blessings of those who came before me."

Focus on your heart center. With each inhale, imagine drawing in divine love and mystery.
With each exhale, let this energy expand outward, connecting you to all of creation.
