A guided meditation by Daniela Giraldo to recognize, honor and give thanks to the men who came before you: your father, your grandfather, your great-grandfather.
Find a quiet place. Put your headphones on. Close your eyes.
Leave us your email and we'll send you the link when we upload the meditation. No spam: just this one notice and nothing more, unless you decide to subscribe afterwards.
Close your eyes. Rest your hands on your legs. Feel your breath.
Behind you, in silence, stands a long line of men. Your father, first. Behind him, your grandfather. Behind him, your great-grandfather. And further back, those you can't even name.
You don't have to do anything. Just let them be. Just allow them their place.
They look at you. They carried what they could. What they couldn't, reached you. It is not your fault, nor theirs.
Today you acknowledge them. Today you let them stand behind you, holding you. Not in front of you, not on top of you. Behind you. In their place.
And you, in yours. Ahead. Alive. Continuing what they could not.

It is a visual tool, a companion to this meditation. You write the names of your father, your grandfather, and your great-grandfather, and receive an image to keep or share.
