I had a vision. There were faces. Loving. Supportive, and strong faces encircling me as I sat in surrender and peace. Looking into the eyes of my Guides, I was reminded that I am supported and that my life has a great purpose. And with that acknowledgement, the vision faded.
In indigenous cultures, ancestral energy and purpose are real. Our life journeys guide us to reclaim that purpose, often one that we agreed to before being born onto the Earth. And each individual’s purpose doesn’t exist for the self only. It is inextricably linked to the purpose of others, including our Elders and Ancestors. One of my Elders once told me “Where we go, so do the Ancestors”. How we live our purpose determines the future of the legacy our Ancestors have left for us. True connection to our highest self requires contemplation on purpose and meaningful action guided by that purpose. It is then, that we become enlightened, powerful, and connected to the divine plan for our lives.
