Sacred sites,
Especially stone circles,
Were built by our ancestors to create a highly revered place for unique communications with the spirit world.
During this meditation,
Each of us will receive different guidance from the stones themselves and from the guardian of this place.
For as we enter with gratitude and respect,
We will be met by that same energy during our virtual sacred tour.
Enjoy.
So,
Would you like to journey with me into a simple stone circle?
If you'd like to make yourself comfortable,
We will practice this meditation.
And this is a meditation really just to get us familiar with the etiquette of a circle.
Please do close your eyes.
Take a few good deep breaths,
Short breath in,
Long breath out.
Bring yourself into your body.
This is the place where we're going to enter a circle,
Not out of our body,
But in it.
And as always,
Feel your feet on the ground if they're on the earth at this time.
Keep connected.
And now,
Through your heart,
See yourself outside a stone circle.
If you've never been to one,
You can imagine Stonehenge if you wish.
You may have seen images of that.
But just imagine a very simple circle of what we call megaliths,
Huge stones.
These stones are often of a certain material that has a strong crystalline structure to them.
So they hold onto information.
That information can be opened out through sound.
So now,
On the outside,
Before we enter in,
There's always a guardian.
That guardian of a site can be a tree,
It can be a stone,
It can be a river,
But it tends to be just outside the circle.
It's almost as if nobody's bothered to see whether that tree,
How old that tree is,
And maybe it's been reseeded.
The fact of the matter,
There's always a guardian.
And the guardian is the person who,
Like anywhere where we enter sacred space,
Tells us how we should behave or what we should do.
And then we ask for permission.
So it might be,
Speak quieter,
Don't sit on the stones,
Do sit on the stones,
Don't touch the stones,
Do touch the stones.
Just receive the information now from the guardian,
Whether it's a tree or a stone,
Outside the sacred site.
Now ask for permission to enter.
Now as I will explain in another video,
As we pass through a doorway,
And it's often two stones or something that defines this doorway,
It's almost as if the stones read us,
Seeing what level of consciousness we've reached.
So never just rush through a doorway,
A portal,
Just enter in with reverence,
Emptying your mind of anything that's chattering,
Any stresses,
Being like a curious child.
And now you're inside the stone circle.
And you may wish to go in either direction,
I suggest you go around all the stones.
There are different ways you can go in terms of counterclockwise or clockwise,
But just let your intuition direct you.
And just before you move,
I'm going to suggest that you may,
If you're allowed to touch the stone or to hum into it,
Humming is a way that stones really relate,
Just a low hum.
This is how we resonate with the stone and when then we ask permission again,
Would it like to show us something or explain something,
Et cetera.
So please go around the stone circle and I'll leave you to do that.
And if you wish,
And I will ask you to do this,
Is to end up in the center of the circle.
So just for a moment,
I'll leave you to talk and listen to the stones.
And now I ask you to come back into the center of the circle.
And it may be you still have different stones to speak to that you can go back to later,
But if you would kindly stand in the center and imagine that you have been in this circle before,
That there is knowledge for you here,
You go,
I remember,
Maybe you went something similar.
But get a sense of the people who have gathered here before,
All the builders,
All the architects,
Who knows about this particular circle that you're in.
Ask them,
What was the purpose?
Who built it if you want to ask that?
And how,
What is it that I am going to take from my experience of being here?
And what is it you would like me to give?
What can I give in response to what I may take from this circle?
Do it now.
And now it is time to leave the circle.
If whatever it is that you said you would give,
Leave it either within the doors of the circle or even with the beings you may have met by a certain stone.
Imagine that they have given you a gift and place your hand on your heart as you're leaving the circle in acceptance and gratitude for the gift you've been given.
Now to leave the circle,
Again,
Give gratitude to the guardian who's taken care of this site for so long.
And then gently start to bring your awareness back to the room where you are.
And in your own time to open your eyes,
Knowing you can return to this particular circle anytime.
