Session One Practices and Points of Awareness
¬ Write down your ritualistic introduction as follows:
My name is ____________. I am the daughter/son of ___________(Mother’s Maiden Name) and __________(Father’s Maiden Name). I was born in __________________, land of the ______________peoples. I live in _______________ land of the ___________ peoples.
¬ Practice priming the field in preparation to make contact— include connecting with the navel and base as a team as you attune to the central channel that connects the primary gateways —the head, the heart, and the base.
¬ Continue to gather stories and pictures of the recently dead and begin to create an ancestral map.
¬ Connect with the front left or front right and invite your ancestors to come through during your meditation practices and altar attunement practices.
¬ Follow your intuition or the step-by-step instructions in the Creating an Illuminated Altar eBook and create a simple altar dedicated to your lineage of choice and invite them to use it as a window between the ancestral and temporal planes. Before you open the altar, take a picture of it and share it in the group WhatsApp thread for co-inspiration.
Ancestral Invocation
I call upon the wise and healthy ancestors connected to this lineage. My intention is to attune and collaborate with a lineage that is in accordance with my current evolutionary stage. I ask for your support in assessing the health and availability of this lineage. I offer my physical, mental, and visual intelligence as channels of communication.

Session five Practices and Points of Awareness
Follow your intuition or the step-by-step instructions in the Creating an Illuminated Altar eBook and create a simple altar dedicated to your lineage of choice and invite them to use it as a window between the ancestral and temporal planes. I encourage you to work with this lineage for at least 13 lunar cycles so make sure to choose an area in your home where the altar can ground and grow.
When you have primed the field and have strengthened your anchor invite one ancestor into your body and sustain the connection as long as it feels natural.
During our closing ritual, we will honor the recently dead. Gather pictures and stories about your line of choice and email the pictures to solea.anani@gmail.com. If you feel comfortable share some pictures on the WhatsApp thread.
Create or acquire a talisman to consecrate as your ancestral power tool during our closing ritual.
Session Six Practices and Points of Awareness
Engage in rituals that honor the recently dead. Ask the ancestors to support their continued path and to bless those in the world of spirit, those currently alive, and those yet to come.
Continue to amplify the presence of the causal plane altar by energetically visiting it and attuning to its medicine.
Find creative ways to engage with the affinity spirits and deities that were shown to you. Call them into your meditation practices or walks.

Ancestral Meditation Practices
In this meditation practice, we relate to the primordial nature of the physical channel. We align with the movement of the breath to synchronize deeper with the earth. From embodiment, I guide you to connect with your wise and healthy ancestors in your matrilineal and patrilineal lineages.
In this meditation practice, we focused on deep embodiment followed by an exploration of space within and throughout the body. We then primed the field and connected with the ancestors. Once an active line of communication was established we asked the ancestors for support and inspiration.
SOMATIC ATTUNEMENT MEDITATION
Somatic Attunement Meditation is a non-dogmatic contemplative practice that focuses on relating to awareness as a conduit of consciousness. In this practice, we relate to the body—the Soma— as an intelligent organism that emits resonance. Through the process of attuning to patterns of movement within the physical and energetic dimensions, we aim to strengthen groundedness, develop subtle body competencies, and create an introspective relationship with the body.
