First confirm that all of the ancestors are well in spirit along the span of the lineage between the guide and the most distant person remembered by name. When this is the case, the guides may give permission for you to approach the eldest named ancestor, but remember that soul guidance work is on an “as-needed” basis. If these types of repairs are called for along the lineage, address the remembered dead one at a time, from the more distant past toward the present. This may entail a separate process for each, making sure at each generation that the blessings of the entire lineage are flowing closer to you in the present. If you have a strong emotional attachment to the person you are attempting to help, consider first doing some form of exercise 8, involving forgiveness. If the recent, remembered ancestors are already well in spirit, modify the exercise below to focus on extending the blessings of the older guides and lineage to the recent ancestors. Envision the remembered dead as being well connected to the more ancient lineage. Remember to take it slow and reinforce shifts as you go.

As in previous exercises, you will first record your own voice (or a friend’s) reading the following guided visualization, and then play it back. Or you could ask a friend to read it aloud for you while you listen. Once you have made these arrangements, find a space conducive to ritual work. When there, do whatever helps you to establish sacred space and ritual intent (e.g., light a candle, offer incense, make prayers). If possible, identify the cardinal directions and consider sitting near the center of the ritual space. Play back the recording, or ask your friend to begin to narrate.
