Welcome,
Beautiful soul.
My name is Ana and I'm so honored to guide you through this meditation.
This meditation is inspired by Beltane,
A powerful Celtic festival celebrated at the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice.
Beltane marks the high of spring and the promise of summer.
It is a time of fertility,
Passion,
Creativity,
Sensuality,
And vitality.
It celebrates the union of opposites,
The blossoming of life,
And the return of the sun's full strength.
Spiritually,
Beltane invites us to awaken our inner fire,
Honor our body and desires as sacred,
And step boldly into the blooming energy of our becoming.
It is a season of celebration,
Joy,
Connection,
And wild aliveness.
A time to plant intentions,
Ignite creativity,
And embrace the beauty of simply being alive.
So today we'll journey together through visualization and gentle embodiment to connect with the sacred fire within you,
Your joy,
Your passion,
Your power.
Take this time to remember who you are,
Sensual,
Sacred,
And fully alive.
Let's begin.
Starting by finding a comfortable position,
You could be seated or lying down.
And once you've found that space,
Just make sure you're safe,
You're held,
And you're not going to be disturbed.
If it feels safe,
You can close your eyes.
Then bringing one hand into your heart,
One hand into your belly,
Inhaling slowly,
And exhaling fully.
Letting the breath soften you,
Deepen with each cycle,
Repeating that,
Inhaling.
And exhaling.
Feel your body supported by the earth.
Feel yourself held in this moment.
Safe,
Alive,
Whole.
Beginning to imagine roots growing from your body into the earth.
Deep,
Ancient,
Stable.
You are connected to all of life.
Now imagine yourself standing in a wild open meadow.
It is twilight on Beltaneve,
May 1st.
The air is soft and scented with blossoms.
All around you,
Life is blooming.
Flowers,
Bees,
Birdsong,
Laughter.
You walk barefoot on the grass.
Your body is open and free.
You then approach a great bonfire at the center of the meadow.
Its flames flicker gold,
Red and orange,
Dancing with the wind.
This fire represents your inner spark,
Your passion,
Your life force.
As you gaze into the flames,
Ask yourself,
What am I ready to ignite within me?
What creative or essential part of me is ready to bloom?
What creative or essential part of me is ready to bloom?
What creative or essential part of me is ready to bloom?
Feel the warmth of the fire moving through your body,
Awakening your root,
Your sacral center,
Your heart.
You are glowing from the inside out.
Now,
Begin to move slowly.
Sway,
Stretch,
Dance if you like.
Let your body express joy,
Vitality and desire.
This is your belt and blessing,
The freedom to feel fully alive.
You are alive,
My love.
You are sparkling.
You are pure joy.
Now,
Allow yourself to come back into stillness,
Sitting or lying down.
And letting the energy settle into you as you receive these affirmations.
You may repeat them silently or out loud.
I honor the fire of life within me.
I honor the fire of life within me.
I honor the fire of life within me.
I awaken to my power,
My joy and my sensuality.
I awaken to my power,
To my joy and my sensuality.
I am fertile with my creative energy and inspired vision.
I am fertile with my creative energy and inspired vision.
I am fertile with my creative energy and inspired vision.
I am fertile with my creative energy and inspired vision.
I bloom fearlessly,
Wildly and without excuses.
I bloom fearlessly,
Wildly and without excuses.
I bloom fearlessly,
Wildly and without excuses.
I trust the rhythm of nature and the wisdom of my body.
I trust the rhythm of nature and the wisdom of my body.
I trust the rhythm of nature and the wisdom of my body.
Let these words become part of you.
Breathe them in,
Embody them,
Let them land in your bones.
Now,
Return into stillness.
Imagine the bonfire flame now lives inside of your heart,
Steady and strong.
Feel the warmth of the earth below and the breeze of spring around you.
Visualize yourself fully bloomed,
Radiant,
Rooted,
Alive.
You are a channel of nature's beauty and brilliance.
You are connected to the wild pools of the earth.
Take a deep breath in and a long breath out.
Allow yourself to rest,
Relax and receive the space of full blooming,
Of igniting,
Of dreaming,
Of being the pure celebration of joy,
Of your own wild aliveness.
Resting,
Receiving.
Now,
Begin to return to your space.
Invite the awareness back to your body and start to gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Yawning,
If you feel like yawning,
Sighing it out.
And eventually,
Bringing the arms above the head,
You can then hug the knees into your chest,
One knee and then the other.
Roll from side to side.
If you were lying down,
Making a pause in this fetal position or in your sitting down position,
Wherever you are,
Bring the hands in prayer in front of your head.
And as you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Coming back into the sacred space and may this belting remind you of the fire that lives within you.
May you honor your joy,
Your sensuality and your sacred aliveness.
Thank you for sharing this moment with me.
Until next time,
May you walk in beauty and bloom fully in your truth.
From my heart to yours.
Namaste
