Here is an Ancestral Clearing Prayer for longing and all it brings:
Oh Infinite Creator, all that You are, whatever that is, please help me and all of my ancestors going back to the beginning of time itself – for the times we felt want and tried to fill it to no avail, for when we felt completely disconnected and isolated from the world, each other, and You, Infinite Creator, and for all the angst and negativity that arose because of the feelings – please help us all to forgive anyone who had anything to do with this, help them forgive us, and help us to forgive ourselves.
Please and thank You.
For the times we did something to make others feel isolated from the world, those in the community, from themselves, from you Infinite Creator, and for all of the negativity visited upon them by our hands, knowingly or unknowingly – please help all those affected forgive us, help us to forgive each other, and forgive ourselves.
Please and thank You.
For all of the times we went without or took too much and as a result, others went without; for the times we didn’t have enough and felt the longing all the time and were unable to deal with it and didn’t have the knowledge to understand the source of this feeling, and for all we made it mean about ourselves, each other, life, and You, Infinite Creator – please help us all release this burden and forgive ourselves, each other, and You, Infinite Creator.
Please and thank You.
For all of the times we felt the longing but did not understand it, no matter how hard we tried, and we did everything we could to avoid it, get rid of it, do anything but simply acknowledge that we were feeling it and just presence ourselves to it without judgment, and for not knowing there was any other way to experience it – please help us all to release all that we carry around this and forgive anyone at all that was involved in how this showed up and played out in our lives, and help us all to forgive ourselves.
Please and thank You.
Please and thank You.
Please and thank You.
