This is a short, meditative day-starter for Wiccans and practitioners of any nature-based spirituality. Enjoy these moments of magickal mindfulness before your daily walk with the God and Goddess. Blessed be.

Transcript

Begin this practice in a position that is comfortable for you.

This can be sitting or lying down.

Light a candle in honor of a deity,

Someone in need,

Or yourself.

Do so prayerfully and mindfully.

Now,

Close the eyes or allow the gaze to simply soften.

Focus on the breath as you allow the jaw and shoulders to soften.

Relax the neck.

Release any tension your body might be storing.

Your awareness is on the breath,

The natural and effortless flow of the breath,

As you simply allow yourself to be here and in this present moment.

Releasing any effort it has taken to bring you here and to this present moment,

Releasing the anticipation of what is yet to come in the day ahead,

And giving yourself the gift of this moment and this time.

As you do so,

See,

Sense,

And feel a brilliant white light coming into the body through the root chakra and traveling up as it reaches for the crown chakra.

This light surrounds you,

Forming a barrier between you and anything that does not contribute to or support your highest good.

In your mind's eye,

Also see this bright light forming a pentacle above you.

Mighty Lord and gracious Lady,

Lend me what I need for the coming day.

Share with me your divine wisdom that I may respect all living things,

And always know that the greatest power of all is love.

May the sun rising above me fill me with love,

Peace,

And wisdom.

Hail to the sun who rules the day.

Blessed be the elements of earth,

Air,

Fire,

Water,

And spirit.

Blessed be the ancestors of this land and those I call to mind at this time.

In the face of intimidation,

I show strength.

Out of darkness,

I emerge with knowledge.

The unformed I shape into a beautiful reality.

So might it be.

When you are ready,

Allow any unused energy you have gathered to return to the earth,

Knowing that it will be there for you whenever you need it again.

At your own pace,

Begin bringing subtle movements into your fingers and toes,

And eventually into the rest of your body.

Take your time.

When you are ready,

Open your eyes.

Take another deep breath,

And extinguish your candle.

Blessed be.
