Deep Peace - An Ancient Celtic Blessing

The origins of the phrase Deep Peace and this ancient blessing reach far back into ancient Celtic Spirituality. Deep peace of the running wave to you is a phrase from a Gaelic blessing, a traditional prayer form, that invokes a profound sense of calm and well-being. The "running wave" symbolises the constant movement and flow of life, while "deep peace" represents a state of tranquility and serenity. Perfect for our busy 21st-century lives. I invite you to let these words and the soothing music from the Wakes (you will find their beautiful live sound baths here on IT) simply wash over you as they invite you home to your own inner calm.
