Close your eyes or soften your gaze and allow your breath to settle into a slow,
Steady rhythm.
Take a deep,
Soft,
Slow breath in through your nose and gently releasing it through your mouth.
Take another deep,
Soft,
Slow breath in and gently exhaling through your mouth.
Again,
As you take a soft,
Slow breath in and gently releasing it,
Let the day soften and fall away from you.
Begin by becoming aware of the space around you,
The sounds in the room or beyond the room.
As you settle into a comfortable position,
Beware of your presence in this room,
Your space,
Your energy in this room.
Gently give yourself permission to be fully present for yourself now.
There is nowhere else you need to be.
Imagine a soft pillar of light surrounding you,
Flowing from above your head,
Down through your body,
And rooting you deeply into the earth beneath you.
With each breath,
You are held,
Grounded,
Safe in your own energy.
Now in your mind's eye,
Imagine yourself standing on a soft,
Grassy path at the edge of twilight.
The sky above you glows in deep shades of indigo and violet,
With the last traces of golden light fading into night.
A few early stars shimmer quietly overhead.
The air is cool and fresh,
Carrying the scent of wildflowers and the damp sweetness of evening dew.
Beneath your feet,
The earth is soft,
Alive,
Steady.
This is Bealtaine,
The ancient Irish turning point into summer.
A threshold time.
A crossing place between what has been and what is ready to begin.
Pause here for a moment.
Feel your body standing on this path.
Feel your presence in this space.
Feel your breath moving gently in and out.
Feel yourself dropping in to this beautiful present moment.
In the distance,
You hear it.
The low,
Steady crackle of a fire.
It calls to something deep within you.
Ancient,
But familiar.
You know this fire.
It is one of the great Bealtaine fires,
Like those once lit on the sacred hill of Ischnach.
The heart of the land,
Where flames were kindled to bless the people,
The animals,
And bless the earth herself.
As you listen,
Something within you begins to awaken.
A warmth,
A readiness,
A quiet remembering.
You don't need to name it.
Just notice it.
When you're ready,
Begin to walk.
See how the path stretches gently before you.
Lined with glowing lanterns.
Their small flames flicker in the evening breeze.
Echoing the great fire ahead.
Beckoning you to continue walking.
With each step,
With each breath,
Feel the earth beneath your feet.
Soft,
Cool,
And oh so grounding.
Step by step.
Breath by breath.
Allow your body to soften.
Let your shoulders drop.
Let your jaw unclench.
Let your breath deepen.
As you walk,
Notice the sounds of the evening.
The breeze moving through the grass.
The distant call of birds settling in for the night.
The quiet hum of life.
This is a liminal time.
A thin place.
You may sense a presence just beyond the edge of your awareness.
The gentle,
Watchful energy of the she-folk.
There is no fear here.
Only respect.
You walk in harmony,
Acknowledging this unseen world with quiet gratitude.
The lanterns beside you seem alive.
Each one offers a small blessing as you pass.
Protection.
Clarity.
Renewal.
You don't need to reach for anything.
Simply receive the blessings.
Step by step.
Breath by breath.
You continue along your path.
With each step.
With each breath.
You are lighter.
Clearer.
More present.
Ahead,
The glow of the fire grows stronger.
Its light rises into the night sky.
Warm and vibrant.
The crackling sounds deepen,
Wrapping around you like a heartbeat.
As you draw closer,
Notice what begins to stir within you.
A sense of renewal.
A quiet courage.
A readiness to grow.
This is the energy of Bealtaine.
Life rising.
Opening.
Expanding.
Now you arrive.
Before you,
The fire burns steadily in a small clearing.
It feels ancient and sacred,
Yet deeply welcoming.
This fire holds the power of blessing and protection.
Like the fires once used to guide cattle safely into summer.
Passing between flames to be renewed and protected.
Take a moment to stand at its edge.
Feel the warmth on your face.
Your hands.
Your body.
Let its energy sink into you.
Loosening anything you've been holding tightly.
Now,
Gently ask yourself.
What am I ready to release?
It may be a worry.
A fear.
Or something you may have carried a little too long.
When you're ready,
Offer this to the fire.
Watch as the great flames receive it.
Transform it.
Lift it upward into sparks of light.
There is no force here.
Only release.
Now,
Take a deep,
Slow,
Soft breath in.
And notice the space that has opened up within you.
Bealtaine is also a time of fertility and new life.
Of planting intentions.
Of welcoming growth.
So gently ask here.
What am I ready to welcome in?
Allow whatever comes to arise naturally.
A feeling.
An image.
A quiet knowing.
Hold it softly.
And notice how the fire responds.
It's flames rising,
Brightening.
Blessing your intention.
Sealing it with warmth,
Life and love.
Spend a few moments here.
Simply being.
Breathing.
Taking in this beautiful Bealtaine fire.
In this moment,
You are connected to the fire.
To the earth.
To this ancient rhythm of renewal.
Know that this place is always within you.
A space of clarity.
Strength.
And new beginnings.
When you are ready.
Begin to turn back toward the path.
The lanterns still glow.
Guiding your way.
As you walk,
Feel the warmth of the fire now within you.
Carried in your body.
Your breath.
Your beautiful heart.
Step by step return.
Begin to bring awareness back to your breath.
As you take a slow,
Soft,
Slow breath.
Bring awareness back to your body.
It's presence in the room.
Bring awareness to how the ground holds you in the room.
And as you gently take soft,
Slow breaths.
Move your fingers.
Your toes.
Feel the earth beneath you once more.
And when you are ready.
Slowly open your eyes.
Carrying with you the warmth.
The renewal.
And the quiet magic of this Bealtaine threshold.
Www.
Mooji.
