Welcome,
I'm so glad you're here.
Take a gentle breath in and slowly release.
Once more,
Breathing in and just letting go.
Allow yourself to arrive here once more.
Notice how you feel today,
Just simply acknowledge whatever is present.
Let your shoulders soften,
Your body settle,
Your breath becoming steady and natural.
You are here and that is enough.
As we move into this second day of our Beltane journey,
We begin to explore a slightly different energy.
And in this session,
We gently shift into embodiment.
Traditionally,
Beltane was not only a celebration of growth,
But also of connection,
Energy,
And aliveness.
Fire played a central role,
Symbolizing vitality,
Passion,
And transformation.
It was a time where people gathered to honor life and to celebrate warmth,
To feel deeply connected to themselves,
To each other,
And to the Earth.
And this same energy lives within you,
Not as something to strive for or to force,
But just something to gently allow to welcome into your body,
Your breath,
Your everyday moments.
So today is an invitation to not only feel this inner light,
But begin carrying it with you.
And as Anaïs Nin once said,
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom.
Now let these words settle softly within you.
I allow myself to open.
I carry warmth,
Light,
And gentle confidence within me.
I trust myself to live with softness and aliveness.
Just reflect for a moment on those words and breathe them into your heart.
Now bring your awareness back to your breath,
Soft,
Steady,
And natural.
And now just see yourself standing in that same open meadow.
The light is warm,
Familiar.
The air is soft against your skin,
And everything feels so gently alive.
Notice how it feels to return here.
Perhaps there is a sense of ease or recognition.
It's as though this place exists within you.
And now bring your awareness to your heart space at the center of your chest.
And here you may begin to sense it,
That warm,
Golden light,
Your inner flame.
And just notice it is still present,
Steady,
And quietly glowing.
This time,
Instead of moving toward it,
You just simply notice it is already within you.
No searching,
No reaching,
Just a gentle awareness.
With each breath in you take,
You allow this light to expand,
Softly,
Naturally,
Thinning your chest,
Your whole body.
And as it grows,
You begin to feel it differently now.
Not just as warmth,
But as something you can carry,
Something that moves with you.
Now you begin to walk slowly,
Gently across the meadow.
And as you move,
This warm,
Beautiful light moves with you,
Within you.
It's steady,
Calm,
Present.
And each step you take feels connected,
Grounded,
Supported.
And this warmth in your chest,
It just remains with you,
Not fading,
Not disappearing,
Simply accompanying you.
So,
As you walk,
Just see this light,
It's bringing you into some simple moments.
Speaking,
Or moving,
Or pausing.
And this gentle flame is always there with you.
It's a quiet sense of confidence.
It's not loud,
Not forceful,
But steady,
Rooted.
You may begin to notice a soft openness in your body now.
It's a sense of ease,
Of allowing,
As though you don't need to push or prove,
But you can simply be.
And now this lovely light is gently expanding outward,
So it's not just within you,
But around you now.
It's touching the space you are in,
Softly,
Naturally,
Just like sunlight.
It is simply shining.
And as you stand here,
You sense a quiet truth,
That this light,
This warmth,
This aliveness is something you can return to at any moment,
Through your breath,
Your awareness,
Your presence.
So,
Let's just rest here for a few moments.
Breathing,
Allowing,
Embodying.
Wonderful.
So,
Now the image of the meadow is gently softening,
While the feeling remains settled within you.
As you move through your day-to-day,
You might gently choose one small way to express your inner light.
It could be speaking to yourself with more kindness,
Allowing yourself to enjoy something fully,
Or taking a small step toward something that feels meaningful.
Let it be simple,
Natural,
An expression of what is already within you.
And now,
When it feels right,
Take a moment to reflect,
How am I being invited to express,
Or really live this light in my life?
Just take a moment.
So,
Now take a deeper breath in,
And slowly release.
Thank you so much for sharing these two days,
This space,
This beautiful journey,
Beltane.
May you carry this warmth with you,
In your own quiet,
Natural way,
And return to it whenever you need.
Namaste,
My friends.
