Welcome to this sacred meditation honoring the season of Imbolc.
As the wheel of the year turns,
We celebrate the return of the light,
The first stirrings of spring,
And the goddess Brigid,
Keeper of the flame.
Imbolc is a time of renewal,
A moment to plant the seeds of hope,
Intention,
And growth for the year ahead.
So let's connect to this sacred moment and awaken the light within ourselves.
Take a deep breath in,
Feeling the air fill your body with warmth and possibility,
And exhale,
Releasing anything that no longer serves you.
Find your comfortable position,
Warm and cozy.
Close your eyes,
And let's begin.
Start by connecting with your breath.
Inhale deeply through your nose.
Feel the cool air enter,
And as it exhales,
Feel the warmth it leaves behind.
Exhale softly,
Letting go of any tension or stress.
With each breath,
Feel your body relax,
Letting go.
Feel your feet firmly on the earth,
Anchoring you to its steady rhythm.
The earth beneath you is stirring,
Slowly awakening with the promise of spring.
Breathe in the energy of renewal,
And breathe out anything heavy or stagnant.
Feel yourself grounded,
Supported,
And ready to receive the gifts of this sacred time.
Now,
Just visualize yourself walking through a quiet winter landscape.
The air is crisp,
And the ground is still.
Yet,
There is a sense of something stirring just beneath the surface.
You follow a winding path that leads to a beautiful clearing.
In the center of the clearing stands a glowing fire,
Its warmth is drawing you closer.
This is Bridget's flame,
A symbol of transformation,
Creativity,
And light.
Just take a moment to stand by the fire.
Feel its warmth on your skin,
Its energy awakening your spirit.
Notice how the glow of the flame reflects the light growing stronger within you.
Now,
Beside the fire,
You see a small patch of soft earth.
In your hand,
You hold a seed.
This seed represents a hope,
An intention,
Or a dream you wish to bring to life in the coming months.
Gently kneel by the earth and plant your seed.
As you cover the seed with soil,
Whisper your intention to yourself,
Or simply hold it in your heart.
Now,
Visualize the light of Bridget's fire bathing your seed in warmth and energy.
Picture it taking root,
Slowly growing stronger,
Just as you are.
Stay here for a moment,
Watching your seed grow.
Nurtured by the earth,
The fire,
And your own inner light.
Beautiful.
As you nurture this seed within your heart,
Let us honor the turning of the seasons with this blessing.
As the wheel of the year turns,
The light grows stronger,
And the earth awakens.
I honor the seeds that stir in the soil,
And the dreams that take root within my heart.
With the fire of Bridget,
I find warmth and inspiration.
With the waters of life,
I find flow and renewal.
May this season of light guide me forward,
To growth,
To hope,
To the beauty of spring.
I bless the earth,
The sky,
And the flame,
And welcome the joy that blooms with the coming days.
May I walk with purpose,
Grace,
And gratitude through this beautiful,
Sacred time of beginnings.
Place one hand on your heart.
Feel the warmth from your hand.
Feel your heartbeat.
And carry this blessing with you,
As you step forward into the light of Imbolc.
Slowly take a deep breath in,
Feeling the warmth of the fire,
And the energy of your planted seed.
Exhale slowly,
Knowing that the earth is holding and nurturing your intention.
Gently bring your awareness back to your body.
Roll your shoulders if that feels good.
And when you feel ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying the light of Imbolc with you into your day or evening.
May the seeds you plant today grow into something beautiful,
And may the light within you shine brightly.
And may you walk with grace and hope through this season of renewal.
Thank you so much for joining me in this sacred space.
Blessed Imbolc.
Namaste,
My friend.
