Honour your 'Ancestral Gifts'
Samhain is the time of year when the 'veils between the worlds' is thinner than usual. Making contact with those who have passed before us is easier now. It is a time when we can reflect on where we have come from and appreciate all that we currently embody.
You might like to ask yourself - What 'Gifts' have I inherited from my ancestors? What have I yet to acknowledge in myself? What latent potential do I have yet to develop?
You might like to take some time to honour your 'Ancestral Gifts'.
Consider where you have come from. How many of your grandparents can you name? Light a candle in their memory.
Maybe you could create a collage of photographs showing both sets of grandparents and your parents in the middle.
You might like to create an altar to your ancestors. Check out the Feng Shui bagua/grid for your home and create a shrine in the appropriate area. Samhain is a very powerful time to remember and re-connect with those who have left this physical realm. What 'unfinished' business is there? Can you let it go? Does it need completing? These are questions you can reflect on as you settle into the still-point of Winter - either to act on in the Spring or to release forever - giving you time, energy and space for some newness in your life.
