Welcome, beautiful woman.
This meditation is an invitation into the quiet, powerful space of ancestral healing — a place where the personal and the collective meet within your own body and breath. Inspired by the quote from Maya Tiwari, “When we heal ourselves, we heal our ancestors and our children,” this practice is a soul-deep remembering of the women you come from… and the women yet to come. It’s for the part of you that’s ready to let go of old patterns, soften inherited stories, and create spaciousness in your womb, your heart, your life.
Inside this practice, we tend to the Red Thread — the energetic thread that connects you to your mother, her mother, and all the mothers before. Whether your relationship with your mother has been nourishing or complex (or both, as mine has been), you are welcome here exactly as you are. This is a space for honesty, softness, and true transformation.
I share from my own lived experience — noticing in recent years how my mother’s energy has shifted, how martyrdom and negativity made a show at times. And how that same energy began to mirror in my own mothering and marriage. Through this work, I’ve been able to hold those patterns with love, understand where they come from, and begin the healing — for myself, my sons, and the line of women who walk with me. This is not light work. But it is liberating. And you don’t do it alone.
I invite you to approach this practice in a soft and sacred way. Light a candle. Sit quietly. Hold a piece of red thread if you have one, or simply imagine it. Let yourself be held by the great feminine — the Earth beneath you and the ancestors behind you. There is no right way to feel. There is only your truth.
Let this be a moment of devotion — to yourself, to the women who came before, and to the world you're shaping with your healing. 🧵 It ends with you. And it begins with you. With love, Edwina 🌹
