A meditation to ask for guidance from your guardian ancestor:
* Find a quiet space where you can be alone in front of the altar.
* Sit comfortably with your back straight, either against a chair or on the ground.
* Make sure that you are breathing slowly and deeply into your solar plexus.
* As you breathe follow your breath right down into the lower part of your solar plexus and release any tension.
* Call upon your ancestor to send his or her light and essence to you.
* Imagine this light becoming more powerful, more real with each breathe; let it brighten your aura and continue to spread throughout your body.
* Imagine you are standing under a shower of light as clear pure water, coming down through the top of your head, and then washing throughout your body.
* When you feel that your body has connected with the ancestral light, call upon them with a simple prayer: ‘I ask that my true ancestral guiding spirit to come forward now to show me their power and protection to guide me in my current life at this time.’
* Imagine that as you are bathing in this light. You will begin to sense a presence around your body.
* Ask your ancestor for insights into a problem that currently preoccupies you. Ask them to open your heart and mind to new perspectives on how to deal with it.
* Continue to breathe deeply and allow your mind to flow with your guardian spirit.
* To close down take a deep breath and thank your ancestor for coming to connect with you.
* Allow the light to be released from your body back into the sky.
* Wiggle your toes and clench your fists to awaken out of the meditation.
* Give thanks.
