Journal Prompts

Taking a moment to get really comfortable where you are right now. 

Slowing the pace of your breath, softening your eyes until they gentle  - close.

Allowing your breath to flow through its cycle of inhaling, and exhaling with ease. 

Trusting its natural rhythm. 

Each inhale,  inviting in a fresh wave of energy through your body. Lungs expanding. Each exhale, letting go of any tension, fear, or anxious energy. 

Inhaling, and exhaling.

Moving through that cycle of breath in whatever way feels best for you. 

…

For this meditative journey, we are going to connect with the vibration of our red thread. Each and every one of us hold this powerful, energetic tie, it is not often acknowledged, but it is always there. 

And so, allowing yourself to sink deeper, into your anchoring breath. 

Sink further into a state of relaxation.

Knowing that you are in a safe place, that all is well, and that everything is exactly as it should be. 

Breathing in deeply.

Exhaling completely .

I invite you to visualise yourself in a beautiful open field. There is something special about this space. Something that feels familiar and filled with wisdom. Take in your surroundings, noticing what time of day it is. Noticing how you feel here, and any other detail that takes your attention. 

Breathe it all in.

You walk further into this field, finding yourself standing now in a wide circular space. You walk right in the middle. 

Breath in.

Let it go.

You notice a soft glow that starts to build off the top of your skin, you notice it expanding all around you, pulsating with its own life.

Breathing in deeply

Exhaling completely 

From your womb space, a bright light glides its way to your heart, feel its potency, feel as it extends out from your heart, as it thrums with an ancient pulse. Witness its colour turning to a deep red. A strong thread now formed, giving you the opportunity to honour the deep rooted bonds  that your blood line connects you to. 

Breathing in deeply.

Exhaling completely .

As this red thread circles around you, you feel a gentle tug behind you, and a warm feeling begins to build in that space behind you. 

You close your eyes, taking a deep breath in, exhaling loudly now through your mouth completely allowing what is to come next. Knowing that you are about to witness your maternal line form. 

Breathing in deeply.

Exhaling completely.

When you are ready, allow yourself to see your mother behind you. Your red thread flowing straight through her heart-space. 

Taking in her features here. Noticing things about her that perhaps feel new. 

Inhale

Exhale

Behind her stands your grand-mother, your mother’s red thread flowing through to her heart-space now. 

Taking in her features here. 

Inhale.

Exhale.

Behind your grandmother stands your great-grandmother. Noticing how the connection flowing through you all is present. How it lives in you, even when you don’t notice. 

Inhale.

Exhale.

And so it continues, you see the red thread extending from the heart-spaces of all that came before you. Its potency envelops you. 

You notice that as the red thread continues, more and more ancestral connections begin to circle around you. Forming a big spiral.  Each soul adding a layer of complexity, of wisdom, of depth, and of love.

Although you would not have met all of these souls, you are all bound together. Each and every one are shaped by life’s beauties,  joys, by life’s challenges. Each are filled with their own lessons, achievements and memories. All of these experiences flow through the collective connection in the red thread. 

Inhale. 

Exhale.

The thread vibrates softly, calling for your attention now. And so you turn your gaze upon it. You acknowledge its deep wisdom, its offer of strength, support and love. 

You breathe in a new found trust in the guidance it can provide you when you seek. And as you exhale you see the light brightening here, strengthening the connection to the thread. 

As a way to show your love and your gratitude, as a way to honour your lineage, you invite in a bold healing light to begin to filter its way through the bond, down the red thread. Sending healing, and life force energy through the bond, feeling the warmth as it spreads, notice its vibrancy stretching across generations. 

Hands to heart, breathing in, letting go.

Breathing in.

Letting go.

Taking a moment to honour your ancestral wisdom here, your lineage. Stating anything you need to state, and receiving anything you need to receive. 

…

Taking a deep inhale here as you witness the spiral slowly shift back to where it came, the red thread refolding back into your heart, down to your womb. 

Breathing in deeply.

Exhaling completely.

Thank yourself for this moment of connection. Knowing you can come back here at any time. Softening your breath. Slowly bringing your awareness back to your body. Feeling your clothes beneath your fingertips. 

One more time. 

Inhale and exhale. 

Gently opening your eyes.
