In Eastern Japan, the Bon festival is celebrated right around this time. This is a time of honoring one's ancestors, recognizing their sacrifices for future generations, and facilitating their most ideal and harmonious presence in the afterlife.

If you can, visit one or more of your ancestors' graves today. Otherwise, place their pictures or heirlooms on your altar. Adorn the headstone or altar with one or more white roses, and light a white candle in their honor. Relax, center, and connect with the spirit of your ancestor (or each ancestor in turn). Imagine bright white light filling and surrounding their spirit, removing any heavy or stuck energy that you may perceive. Then see their spirit in its truest light: the light of pure wholeness and love. Laugh or dance with them and inwardly honor their path in life, seeing it as a perfect support and complement to your own life.
