The bridge that once crossed it has broken away. You stand there pacing back and forth, again and again, trying to determine how you will cross. Do you walk farther down, hoping to find another bridge? Do you attempt to build a new one, knowing that will take time? You pause. You wait. You look for a new idea to arrive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/b571bb13-ac1f-44d1-b15a-809ed51d264e/bottom+of+the+matt.jpg Ancestors Blog - The Invitation to Move Forward - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/2ff76d0c-eb3f-442c-9042-7011b26536a8/Ancestor+bones.jpg Ancestors Blog - The Invitation to Move Forward - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/a86d71e0-c851-485b-8e08-29eec67fbff7/life+path+bone.jpg Ancestors Blog - The Invitation to Move Forward - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/1f1cb229-e16a-42b2-8efd-8fc8b0f42397/wisdom.jpg Ancestors Blog - The Invitation to Move Forward - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/39300efa-e243-4b50-9e2f-da5e6c3cbaed/balance.jpg Ancestors Blog - The Invitation to Move Forward - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kathybales.net/ancestors-blog/the-candle-that-taught-me-how-to-shine-brighter monthly 0.5 2025-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/46318111-943d-41be-9f44-b9fef98a9b9b/20251102_113806.jpg Ancestors Blog - The Candle That Taught Me How to Shine Brighter - This morning, as I sat down to meditate, I noticed that the yellow candle on my altar had burned all the way down.

Recently, while walking through the woods with my dog, I felt their presence strongly. The forest was still, the air thick with the scent of pine and earth, and I took a moment to open my heart and ask, "Is there a message you would like to share with the global community?" https://www.kathybales.net/ancestors-blog/seeing-beneath-the-surface monthly 0.5 2025-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/2cca1466-718d-4064-a6b4-f19834295d53/20250504_112318.jpg Ancestors Blog - Seeing Beneath the Surface During meditation, the Ancestors showed me a vision.

Their response surprised me. They said, "You spend a lot of time looking at what needs to be healed—not only within yourself but also in the world around you. Today, we want you to look at what needs to be nourished inside of you." https://www.kathybales.net/ancestors-blog/change-when-things-are-going-good monthly 0.5 2025-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/0e2f8585-d8fa-4a03-9e53-73741105305f/20240907_113405.jpg Ancestors Blog - Change When Things Are Going Good I was recently meditating on change and how it often feels easier to embrace when things aren’t going well. In those moments, change seems necessary—something has to shift—a feeling of I don’t want to do this anymore. https://www.kathybales.net/ancestors-blog/the-energy-of-kindness monthly 0.5 2025-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/4b7d6991-6674-4248-a231-85dc455b9164/20241005_170215.jpg Ancestors Blog - The Energy of Kindness Kindness is more than just an action toward another—it is a gateway.

They encouraged me to reflect on what inspires me. As I sat with this, my mind turned to everyday sources of inspiration—my children, grandchildren, and even nature. But the Ancestors urged me to go deeper. https://www.kathybales.net/ancestors-blog/embody-gratitude monthly 0.5 2024-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/34d5ded8-8b6e-4ee7-87b8-e42905407acb/20241010_093206.jpg Ancestors Blog - Embody Gratitude Often, when we talk about gratitude, we think of it as something we give or receive. However, the ancestors speak of gratitude as something to embody.

The vibration and frequency of hope are expansive, creating possibilities for opening, expanding, and growing. When we close ourselves off to hope, we close ourselves to possibilities—shutting out new thoughts, ideas, and ways of doing and being. https://www.kathybales.net/ancestors-blog/blog-post-title-two-x72wr monthly 0.5 2024-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/c1470c2b-a792-46be-b59d-1714e488e311/20241027_130249.jpg Ancestors Blog - Embracing the Metamorphosis of Aging - Aging is a type of metamorphosis.

I realized after taking a meditation class how much fear and anxiety I held within my body. I did not know what had changed but like a salmon swimming upriver I was guided to keep moving forward. I began exploring what it would be like if fear and anxiety did not rule my life. In 2010 I worked with my first Sangoma (traditional South African healer). Through this work I began to unravel what I held within myself that was not mine and moved toward what was my own truths. I was told I had a calling. I did not know what that meant, nor did I want to. https://www.kathybales.net/bones-readingdivination daily 0.75 2024-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f205e7639831d382333fc86/1595960964303-0BFVNEQG26QYU9IYIAYE/DSC04683+bones+on+mat+with+hand.jpg What is a Bones Reading/Divination - What type of information can you receive from bones reading?
