  Kda and welcome to Constellations and all that.

  Today, I'd just like to share a little bit around belonging as we move in towards Christmas 2025.
• 0:47
  If you're listening to this in the future, I hope that there are some nuggets of wisdom or insight, clarity that you're able to receive from this Also.
• 0:58
  So belonging, just feel into that for a moment.
• 1:02
  If you're driving a car or operating a vehicle, I'm gonna do a little exercise.
• 1:10
  So you might wanna skip this one and come back to it when you're in a place where, or in a position where you're able to really focus and not have your attention on the road.
• 1:20
  So just for clarity, there's gonna be a little bit of a, um, an exercise to do.
• 1:28
  So the invitation right now is to feel into the word belonging and breathe into that belonging.
• 1:43
  Maybe say it out loud, belonging, and just notice in yourself, where does it stir in me?
• 1:57
  Do I feel it down in my roots, in my tailbone?
• 2:03
  Is it up in my solar plexus?
• 2:05
  Is it sitting in my heart or throat?
• 2:08
  Or maybe I feel it to the side of me.
• 2:15
  Just noticing, not changing anything, just observing belonging.
• 2:27
  So as tribal beings, as human beings, we all come from the people of the fire and the tribes and the communities, the connections, the, the iwis, the, the different clans.
• 2:45
  And in those clans, when we had a place and we belonged, survival was much higher.
• 2:52
  If you were excluded from your clan or your tribe or the community, then your chances of survival were lowered.
• 3:04
  They went down significantly, and maybe even in your family system, there's a sense of that.
• 3:15
  Is there a sense of that for you and your job and your community?
• 3:23
  Maybe you have a full deep connection to all of it and you feel that you belong.
• 3:32
  That is amazing.
• 3:34
  That is beautiful.
• 3:35
  And that is our, our goal and our wish for everyone.
• 3:38
  Correct.
• 3:42
  So my invitation is, if you are able to get an object to represent belonging, or maybe you'd like to write the word belonging.
• 3:51
  On a piece of paper, so whether you have an object or a piece of paper, take a moment to hold that in your hand, just to breathe that in and then to place it down on the floor.
• 4:15
  This is the energy of belonging.
• 4:20
  And it may be something that's, that's quite new to you because of your life experience, or it may be something that you've had a glimpse of, or it feels familiar, but you don't quite have a, a handle on that right now.
• 4:43
  Everything is welcome.
• 4:46
  So my invitation is to stand either on the piece of paper or stand beside the object, and to feel your feet on the ground to let the energy of belonging move up your legs into your belly, and then up into your heart space.
• 5:18
  And we're gonna pause there in your heart space and just notice what happens in your body when you stand in the energy of belonging.
• 5:37
  Maybe there's a, a solidness or a rocking.
• 5:45
  There's a longing in you.
• 5:50
  Maybe you notice something behind you or beside you.
• 6:01
  Just breathe and give that space for a moment.
• 6:13
  I.
• 6:16
  You may want to pause.
• 6:20
  You can pause this recording while you stand and receive this energy, this experience, or you may be ready for the resource.
• 6:38
  So look around you and see what other objects you have in the space.
• 6:45
  My invitation now is to choose an object, to be a resource for belonging.
• 6:55
  And it doesn't matter what you choose.
• 6:57
  It could be your, your coffee cup or, um, another piece of paper, a crystal or a rock.
• 7:05
  It doesn't.
• 7:06
  Matter what the object looks like.
• 7:09
  It's the intention that you put into it.
• 7:13
  This is going to be my resource, and we don't have to name the resource, as in my resource is an invitation to a group or something like that.
• 7:27
  It's just, we're just gonna call it a resource and let it be whatever it is that.
• 7:34
  When you connect with it, you may get an answer.
• 7:39
  You may have a deeper understanding.
• 7:41
  This resource could maybe be an ancestor who, for whatever reason, knows what it means to to belong or not to belong, and they're here to be a resource.
• 8:03
  It could be someone who's missing from your family system, who's coming to be that piece from your puzzle.
• 8:15
  It could be unconditional love, it could be light, it could be just the energy of space.
• 8:28
  Oh, boundaries.
• 8:28
  Boundaries are really good when we belong as well.
• 8:33
  We don't have to name what the resource is.
• 8:36
  These are just some, um, things that are showing up in my awareness right now to share with you, and you're gonna have your own experience from this.
• 8:51
  So, placing that resource down.
• 8:54
  On the piece of paper or right beside the object that is representing belonging.
• 9:03
  And again, breathe.
• 9:06
  Feel your body.
• 9:09
  Feel your body expand with your breath.
• 9:13
  And notice where your breath lands in your body.
• 9:16
  Ah, and feel it.
• 9:18
  Relax and release.
• 9:24
  Feel the ear entering your body, the coolness of the ear as it enter your body.
• 9:38
  Beautiful.
• 9:53
  And if for any reason you feel that you have a sense of not belonging, I also invite you to choose a couple of objects.
• 10:09
  Because we have millions and millions and millions of ancestors, and in those millions and millions of ancestors, there are many that can be there to resource us.
• 10:25
  So the invitation is to choose a couple of ob, a couple of objects to represent ancestors.
• 10:37
  Who see you and know that you belong.
• 10:45
  You belong to the family soul.
• 10:49
  This is your tribe.
• 10:51
  This is your clan, your community.
• 11:02
  Oh.
• 11:03
  They may come from the same line or they may come from different lines, maybe one's from your mother's line and one's from your father's line Trust that you were seen and you were held in the space of belonging.
• 11:28
  And if you already have a sense of belonging, you may like to do this as also for the experience of connecting into some of these ancient ancestors.
• 11:44
  If you look, if you're watching me on YouTube right now, you'll be able to see that behind me there is an image of the layers of ancestors.
• 11:57
  From my maternal line and my paternal line.
• 12:06
  Do you imagine them like wings coming out to support you taking these resources and maybe bringing them to your heart or down to your belly, wherever you feel that you need to?
• 12:24
  Bring these resources of this ancestral love of, of the connection from these, this part of your clan, your tribe, your community, your family of origin, and when you are ready in your own time, placing them down.
• 12:53
  With your sense of belonging and standing with all of that, maybe there are words or images that you've been able to receive, maybe colors, feelings, sensations.
• 13:25
  The invitation is to take this as a supportive resource going forward into the Christmas season, into the new year, and maybe you'd like to share this with anyone that is feeling a sense of disconnection.
• 13:51
  If you need any support, please reach out to me.
• 14:01
  I leave you now to to be with your belonging.
• 14:07
  Maybe there's some words that you'd like to write down or some sounds that you'd like to make.
• 14:14
  Just making a hot cup of tea and finding a beautiful spot, cozy spot to sit and allow this to integrate whatever is there for you.
• 14:29
