This is Dr.
Holly inviting you on a journey.
I invite you to sit comfortably with your feet on the earth or laying down.
You can close your eyes or hold a soft gaze and together we'll take a journey using this guided meditation.
Inhale through your nose and exhale out of your mouth.
Let's do that one more time.
Inhaling peace and exhaling tranquility.
I invite you to find yourself walking along the Atlantic Ocean.
You're on the higher end of a cliff,
Along green grass with the ocean hitting rocks and sprinkling wetness onto your face.
As you walk along,
You notice in the distance,
In the fields,
Cattle.
You might even smell them along with the spray and saltiness coming off of the ocean bed.
As you walk along,
You notice rocks ahead and you realize you're on the Irish coastline.
The rockiness that goes into the Atlantic Ocean and lifts,
Lifts,
Lifts up towards the grass and forms what's known as the Burren.
This white-gray slate is known to be a space of magic,
A space you've heard about from your ancestors and in folk tales where other worldly happenings exist.
And as you walk along,
You see within these rocks what appears to be a grassy area.
You find yourself drawn to it.
And so you continue to walk aware of what it is and realizing as you get closer that it's a circle of grass.
This is a magical fairy circle,
One that you've only heard about.
With just a moment of hesitation,
A moment of uncertainty about the magic it may reveal,
You walk closer and closer to this circle,
Knowing that there's something just inside which is inviting you to be part of that experience.
As you step into the circle,
You realize you're no longer on the coastline and instead you've entered into a forest.
You notice there's a sense of magic,
A sense of other worldliness,
But also love and safety and support.
You walk amongst the large trees that reach up into the sky.
As you walk,
You see the leaves moving in the breeze and you hear the winds,
The winds of ancestors coming through,
Inviting you to continue walking forward.
The sun shines through the branches and comes down revealing,
Sparkling in the blades of grass and plant life amongst the trees.
Could this be dew drops or could it be a sense of magic from the others who live here?
You're not sure,
But you know this is a place where you're meant to be,
A place of safety,
A place of love.
And so you continue walking.
Eventually you see something up ahead.
It could be a person,
An animal,
A spirit.
Only you can answer that.
What you know though is that this being is a guide,
The wisest of guides here to help you in this moment and to offer you any needed support.
You approach them and they greet you fondly.
Spend time with your guide,
Allowing them to reveal any wisdom you've been lacking.
Are there questions you wish to ask,
Answers which you seek,
Guidance which is needed that only they can help you reveal from your innermost knowing?
Spend this time with them,
Allowing them to reveal all that you need to know in this moment,
In this time.
Accept what they offer you.
Accept their knowledge,
Their support,
Their love.
Perhaps others are with them,
Perhaps ancestors,
Loved ones who have passed,
Guardian angels,
Animals,
Humans,
Spirit.
Whatever may be present,
Know it's here for you in this moment to guide you towards a wiser self,
Towards what you need in this moment here and now.
Allow yourself to engage in that,
Spending this time with them,
Knowing what they have to offer,
It is what you need.
You know this time is one of support and love and you know this guide is here for you even when you're not in this place with them.
And with that,
You've come to realize that it's time to go.
Perhaps this is welcome,
Perhaps it feels just not long enough,
But know from your guide that they will always be available to you to return.
This place will always be just underneath the surface for you to enter.
As you say your goodbyes,
Feel their presence in your heart and know it will always be with you.
As you turn away,
You may notice that the magic of the space looks even more thrilling and beautiful.
You feel lighter,
Wiser,
And though you don't want to leave,
You know that you're ready.
Start walking back down the path away from your guide through the forest,
Noticing the trees as the breeze waves a goodbye.
And you see a light ahead.
As you get closer,
You start to hear the waves of the ocean and you see the grass within the circle which you had once entered.
And with the blink of an eye,
You're once again on the edge of the fairy circle feeling wiser,
Feeling more at home and present in the space,
Knowing that you have your guide with you always,
Always ready to offer you hope.
Taking a deep breath,
I invite you to exhale,
Bring your presence back to this moment,
Wiggling your fingers and toes,
Perhaps fluttering your eyelids,
Allowing yourself to be back in this moment,
Present.
I hope that serves you.
Till next time.
