Ask for the strength to endure the pain…
No one can resolve your suffering for you, it’s likely the biggest lie told, that anybody holds the power to do such a thing. For millennia, our people, humanity, have suffered immensely; I do not know why recent generations seem to believe that becoming free of suffering is a human possibility when history tells us the absolute opposite.
Never has there been a lifetime lived without suffering, without struggle. It’s all relative, sure, but no one escapes ill-health and death, no one escapes life either. To believe otherwise is foolish. Suffering will never be eliminated, one may not avoid the reshaping that comes when a grief too deep suddenly owns a piece of you, or when traumas so blinding give you new eyes, or when a sadness, a melancholy, simply becomes you.
When suffering has swallowed your life and everything you once held dear, do not fret, that’s life. Generations before us came and went, faced immeasurable suffering. We’ve got this, just as they did! We can survive because we always have. Find strength in knowing what you call for today, a deep rooted connection to ancestry and the power of the stories we have all forgotten…
Let yourself feel to heal, call for the strength to do so, it’s not easy in a world that wants you medicated for your ‘symptoms of life’. Life changes you, let it.
With love,
Ana Maria Santuario.

I call on the spirits of the ancestors today, I bend to their will, passion and fire. In faith, I step forward knowing that their strength is now my own, that their will to survive is now transferred to my bones and blood. In time we are bound, in space we are separate no longer. We are but one, rock on!
I bend to the will of the gods, to the spirits of the ancestors, those who see my insides without my speaking. I ask that they provide everything a person needs to endure the unendurable. I ask that they offer up the warrior energy that human beings can embody; I ask to become fully human and to own what I am, a wild animal who can pull this all off… who can survive, come what may. Amen.
Shadows, be cast away forever. Foes, oh treacherous foes, be gone from these lands, be banished from all that once was whole. In forgiveness, we watch you depart. Farewell to fear, farewell to treason, farewell to a mockery of the soul. Light, come now, be free to reign, as terror recedes, and there are enemies no more. In thanks, in service, we honour the gift of peace with acceptance and harmony. Amen.
Nature, dear Mother Nature, please, grant me the wisdom to bend the knee, not because I am lesser than, but because there is honour found in doing so, in knowing one’s position. Have you not designed such patriarchal and matriarchal societies in every nook of your wilderness? Can a Queen Bee be blamed for being born one? Am I, a part of this great colony, any less than the parts and pieces of this mesmerizing strangeness that is your world? Let acceptance be won today, let the knee bend, let me find safety in safe leadership. Amen.

Dear Divine, there is a path I walk, through painful memories, through physical awakenings that hurt immensely. Why does it hurt so? Was it born of great love? Show me the love at the center of this pain and please bring peace from that aspect of this great suffering. I am willing to accept this pain as being born from love. Amen.
Dear darling world, thank you for providing the nourishment in vitamin and mineral that I require to make it through this on a physical level. Although I may feel weak, I know the strength offered to me by food and water is all I need to make it to a new day. Please, bless my body with courage too, this day. Amen.
In the abyss, is born faith. Ultimate powers that be, grant me passion enough to dwell in your ruthlessness, in your love, in your treasured wisdom beyond the known. Allow all that passes as life be forgiven, and forgotten when I am dead. Let freedom be born from forgiving myself, above all else. Amen.
In song of ancestry, I call for the power to endure what cannot be endured; I ask for the pain that is felt to be absorbed and contained into a new shape. Let anger be instantly forgiven; let tears be wiped clean with love; let all that is felt become confirmation that love once lived in a space now felt to be empty. Seek that love, it is not gone; I can feel the whisper of the whisper, to lean into love, instead of hate and fear. Thanks be for the message today. Thanks be. Namaste.

Dear Infinite Creativity, please, grant me passage into The Age of Life and Beauty. Allow this body and mind to become able to choose, with self-caring intent, to follow the paths of what is good and trusted. Let life become the most beautiful thing, as we move as one to preserve that which we all are… mother nature. Namaste.
In the life of nature, I see myself. In the mirror of Eden, I am granted the wisdom of perceiving, but never quite knowing, what I am. Let awakening become less about knowing, and more about unknowing that which shapes ill perceptions of that which is beauty and perfection already – life! Amen.
Holy Father, take care of us all, the children of your creative genius. Please, dwell upon the earth with us for some time, bring us home to your embrace of safety. In devotion, I step to your side, along with the angels and saints that are unseen, but with us as we fight. Amen.
Divine Mother, as childhoods are stolen from your warmth and togetherness, please shine light enough upon the path ahead, and let us turn towards a New Age of Safety and Nourishment. Let us remember that you are all our children need. Amen.
Pray for peace. Pray for hope. Pray for love, joy and freedom.
