Feel,
Imagine or know a beautiful staircase with 10 wide,
Safe,
Comfortable steps leading down to a beautiful door and in a moment you're going to walk down these steps from 10 to 1 each descending number relaxing you more and more so ready now,
Let's start walking down the stairs 10 going deeper down the stairs 9 deeper down the stairs 8 deeper down the stairs 7,
More and more relaxed deeper down the stairs 6,
Going deeper down the stairs 5 deeper down the stairs 4,
Feeling so relaxed deeper down the stairs 3,
Deeper down the stairs 2 all the way down the stairs 1 and you take a step off that bottom step and stand in front of your door now open your door and step through and as you do,
You find yourself in a grand banqueting hall glowing with warmth and midwinter magic tall oak panels line the walls draped with rich silks and silks and deep red,
Warm orange,
Gold and evergreen hundreds of candles flicker gently casting a soft golden light across the room at the far end of the hall,
A wide stone fireplace holds a bright crackling fire the flames shimmer with orange and gold filling the space with comfort and warmth and as you begin walking across the hall you take in the scent of cinnamon,
Pine,
Frankincense and rich winter spices a long table stretches across the room overflowing with beautiful festive food winter fruits,
Warm breads,
Roasted vegetables,
Fragrant herbs,
Sweet treats crystal glasses catching the candle light and velvet chairs waiting to be filled and as you draw closer to the fireplace your attention is drawn to the altar on the mantel it is decorated with pine cones,
Evergreen branches,
Red berries,
Mistletoe oranges studded with cloves gold discs and candles in shades of red,
Orange and yellow everything here honours the winter solstice the still point of the year the longest night and the tender promise of returning light you stand before the altar and take a slow breath tonight the sun rests tonight the earth is still tonight we honour the turning of the wheel and the quiet spark of renewal that begins in the darkest moment you think about what the return of the sun means to you the hope it brings the growth it promises the light it awakens within you the blessings it carries into the year ahead so just take a moment and let those thoughts rise naturally what the return of the sun means to you as your thoughts finish you notice the log resting beside the fire your yule log waiting to be placed onto the flames you lift it gently and place it into the fire watching as the flames rise to greet it this is your intention,
Your renewal,
Your fresh beginning the yule log will continue to symbolically burn through the coming year carrying abundance,
Warmth and blessings into every part of your life as you watch the flames dance a soft glow begins forming beside the hearth it grows brighter and brighter until a radiant being of light stands before you Archangel Gabriel his presence is gentle yet powerful glowing like dawn breaking on a winter morning his wings shimmer with white and gold light and his robes flow like soft moonlit snow Gabriel smiles warmly bringing a sense of hope,
Clarity and peace he steps forward and places a hand over your heart a gentle wave of pure white gold light moves through you warm,
Soothing,
Renewing Archangel Gabriel whispers from the deepest night,
Light is born again within you,
Something new is awakening trust what is rising,
Trust what is returning you are ready for your next beginning you feel clarity rising within you like a quiet in a sunrise new ideas,
New dreams new possibilities,
All gently stirring awake Archangel Gabriel invites you to reflect now on what you wish to welcome in with the returning light what you wish to nurture,
Grow or create in the coming year take a moment or two to explore whatever comes as your reflections come to an end Gabriel touches your hands and places a small glowing orb of light within them your solstice blessing a gift of hope,
Inspiration and divine support for the year ahead then the hall begins to fill with gentle festive music you think of all the people you would love to celebrate with those in your life now,
Those far away and loved ones who have passed you see them gathering joyfully around the table filling the room with laughter,
Warmth and love and you can now spend a little time in their company sharing,
Smiling,
Remembering,
Celebrating before you know it,
Time has passed and as the gathering draws to a close someone steps forward and offers you a single sprig of mistletoe a blessing of luck,
Joy,
Protection and prosperity to carry back into your current life you thank them and you thank Archangel Gabriel who nods gently in blessing before dissolving into radiant light once more holding your mistletoe you walk back across the hall towards your doorway you open and step through the door and find yourself at the bottom of your stairs and in a moment you are going to walk back up the stairs from 1 to 10 with a full heart,
Renewed spirit and your solstice blessing held close each ascending number bringing you back to the present,
To the here and now so let's start walking up the stairs now,
1 coming further up the stairs,
2 further up the stairs,
3 with a full heart further up the stairs,
4 coming further up the stairs,
5 remembering your whole experience further up the stairs,
