Honoring Our Ancestors and Honoring Our Family
By Rev Teresa Stuefloten
I acknowledge that I am a Divine Expression. I am Spirit having a human experience. I am one with Spirit. I am grateful for the precious opportunity to be in physical expression on this earth plane, to live and love, to learn and grow, to awaken to the Truth of who I truly am, Spirit in expression. I am grateful for my life.
I honor my own Spirit. I am one with Divine Spirit.
Those in my family who are currently physically present in the body in this earth realm, are Spirit having a human experience. In Truth they are Divine Expressions. I open my heart in love and gratitude for them. I honor them all.
I honor my family. I am one with my family.
Those in my family who have left the physical body and have made their transition to the other side, are Spirit. They are Divine Expressions, continuing life on the other side. Mothers and Fathers, Grandmothers and Grandfathers, aunts and uncles, cousins, spouses and partners, siblings and children who have gone before me, I open my heart in love and gratitude for their lives and I send them love. I honor them all.
I honor my family. I am one with my family.
I am grateful for all that my family members have contributed to my life and to my growth. I am grateful for the love, encouragement, and support. I am grateful for the guidance and direction. I am grateful for the challenges that helped me grow. I am grateful for the hugs and the kisses, the laughter, the tears and the joy. I am grateful for the listening ears when I was sad or needed to talk. I am grateful for the sharing and the caring.
I honor my family. I am one with my family.
Some family members may have presented challenges to me through their behavior. I open my heart in forgiveness, knowing that forgiveness does not mean condoning their behavior. Some family patterns I may choose to not to bring forward. I release these patterns. May my spiritual growth bless my entire family, including those who came before me, and those yet to come.
I honor my family. I am one with my family.
I may have treated some family members in ways that I now regret. I forgive myself for my mistakes and my ignorance. I release my feelings of guilt and regret and open my heart to healing the wounds through unconditional Divine Love.
I honor my family. I am one with my family.
I release this prayer with gratitude for all of my family members who went before me, creating the opportunity for me to be in the physical body, learning and growing in this lifetime. I am grateful for all that they have contributed to my spiritual growth. I send them love, knowing that, through our oneness, love is received in all realms. I release my family in love and joy. The healing is complete.
I honor my family. I am one with my family.
I dedicate my life to:
“Living a Sacred Connection to all life.
Living an Inspired Purpose-filled Life.
Living a Life of Joy, Love, Beauty, Peace, Wisdom, Harmony, Abundance and Wholeness.“
