Hello and welcome to this guided meditation to celebrate the winter solstice yule by Ray Caroline Cowan from Radiant Angel Energy.
As always,
Please do make sure you're going to be somewhere where you're not going to be disturbed.
All Nobel devices are switched off and you're sitting or lying comfortably.
Please do make sure you have some water by your side,
Ready for when this guided meditation finishes.
So if you're ready now,
Just close your eyes.
And as you do so,
I'd like you to take a deep breath in and on the out breath,
Just release everything that doesn't need to be in this space.
Take another deep breath in and on the out breath,
Just release everything that doesn't need to be here.
And just allow your breathing to fall into its natural rhythm.
Every in breath relaxing you more and more.
And every out breath just releasing everything that doesn't need to be in this space.
Just think about relaxing.
Think about relaxing your whole body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes,
All the way down your arms to your fingertips.
For when you think about relaxing,
So you will relax.
Give yourself permission and allow yourself to relax.
And I want you now to see if you can imagine or know a beautiful golden light above your head.
It's a beautiful golden light of peace and relaxation.
Just allow this beautiful golden light to move into your aura,
The energy space around you.
And as it does,
Just allow it to move into your body,
Filling you up physically,
Mentally and emotionally with this beautiful relaxing golden light.
And just allow this beautiful golden light to relax the whole of your head.
Just feel your head relaxing,
Your brow relaxing,
Your eyes relaxing,
Your eyelids feeling so heavy and relaxed.
As this relaxation moves into your temples,
Your ears,
Your nose,
Your cheeks,
Your mouth,
Your jaw feeling so relaxed.
As this relaxation moves down into your neck,
And you feel all your neck muscles start to relax.
As this relaxation moves down into your shoulders,
And your shoulders just feel so relaxed,
As if they're being bathed by beautiful warm sunshine.
And allow this relaxation to move down into your arms,
Relaxing your upper arms,
Your elbows,
Your lower arms,
Your wrists,
Your hands and your fingers.
As this relaxation now moves into your upper body,
And you feel all your chest muscles start to relax,
All your stomach muscles relax,
Your whole back start to relax,
And you can feel your spine relaxing vertebrae by vertebrae by vertebrae.
As this relaxation moves down into your hips,
Your pelvis,
Your buttocks,
Sinking you deeper down where you're sitting or lying.
As this relaxation moves down into your thighs,
Your knees,
Your shins,
Your calves,
Your ankles,
Your heels,
Your feet and your toes.
And your whole body is just so relaxed.
And in a moment I want you to engage your imagination.
And I want you to see,
Feel,
Imagine or know yourself at the top of a beautiful staircase.
A staircase with 10 wide,
Safe,
Comfortable steps,
Leading down to a beautiful door.
And in a moment I'm going to count you down the steps.
And as I count you down the steps and you walk down these steps from 10 to 1,
Each descending number relaxing you more and more.
So if you're ready now,
Let's start walking down the stairs 10,
Going deeper down the stairs 9,
Deeper down the stairs 8,
Deeper down the stairs 7,
More and more relaxed,
Deeper down the stairs 6,
Deeper down the stairs 5,
Deeper down the stairs 4,
Feeling so relaxed,
Deeper down the stairs 3,
Deeper down the stairs 2,
All the way down the stairs 1.
And you take a step off that bottom step and stand in front of a beautiful doorway.
And I want you now to open that door and step right through and as you do you find yourself in a beautiful banqueting hall.
A beautiful banqueting hall with oak panels,
Decorated with beautiful silks of red,
Orange,
Gold,
Green,
Lit with many candles,
All shining brightly.
And at the end of this hall is a beautiful fireplace with a bright burning fire inside it.
Beautiful gold,
Orange,
Flames.
You can feel the beautiful warmth in this banqueting hall.
And as you walk across the hall your footsteps echo in on the floor.
You notice that there's a huge table filled with the most beautiful food you have ever seen.
You can smell the beautiful smells.
See the wide variety of food,
The gleaming of the cutlery and the sparkles from the crystal glasses.
And there are beautiful velvet chairs dotted around that look so comfortable,
Ready to be seated upon.
And as you get closer to the fireplace you notice the mantle around it and on the mantle there is an altar.
An altar that is filled with pine cones,
Mistletoe,
Bells,
Lots of evergreens with red berries,
Beautiful red,
Orange,
Yellow,
Candles just flickering.
There are gold disks there as well.
There's some oranges,
Some apples,
Some nuts.
And you can smell beautiful frankincense,
Cinnamon and myrrh.
There's a beautiful altar set up to celebrate your winter solstice.
A winter solstice where the sun is at a standstill,
The day is short.
I'm waiting in anticipation for the change that is coming,
The change that will bring the sun again,
The warmth,
Bringing in growth and abundance.
As the days get longer,
The nights get shorter,
It gets warmer.
And this is why we celebrate the winter solstice,
To honour the change of seasons and to welcome in the brightness of the sun,
New beginnings,
Rebirth and growth.
And I want you now to think about what the return of the sun means to you.
How does it affect you?
How does it affect Gaia?
How does it affect your loved ones?
And I'll give you a moment or two to think about this.
What does the return of the sun mean to you?
And what abundance and growth will it bring you?
What does it mean to you?
What does it mean to you?
As you finish thinking about what the return of the sun means to you,
You notice that there is a log by the fire that has not yet been lit.
This is your yule log.
So you pick the log up and you put it on the fire to light it.
This is you setting in motion the growth,
The rebirth,
The abundance of the coming year as you celebrate this yule.
And this yule log will continue to burn all the way till next year to the 21st of December 2022,
Bringing you all the abundance and joy for yourself and your loved ones.
And now that you've lit that yule log and placed it in the fire,
You start to hear the sound of music.
Beautiful festive music just seems to fill the room,
The banqueting hall.
And as it does,
I want you to think about everyone you would like to celebrate this yule with,
Whether they are people in your life now,
Departed loved ones,
Those that you no longer see,
Or anyone you just want to celebrate with.
And just see,
Imagine,
Know,
Feel them now,
Just starting to fill up this banqueting hall.
And as you do,
You'll notice the sound gets louder with all the talking and laughing.
And I'm going to leave you now,
Leave you for a while to enjoy celebrating with all those people still alive or departed that you wish to celebrate with.
Enjoy the food,
The music,
The fun,
The laughter,
And maybe even some dancing.
And before you realise many hours have passed,
The food has been eaten,
The drink has been drunk,
And you've laughed and you've cried and you've had so much fun,
But it's now time for you to come back into your current time.
But you know that you can always come and celebrate again anytime you wish.
So you give thanks to all those who have come to join in this celebration with you.
And just before you leave,
One of the guests gives you a beautiful piece of mistletoe.
A mistletoe to bring you luck,
Joy,
And prosperity and abundance that you can bring back with you back to your current time.
You thank them with a hug.
And you walk back down the banqueting hall,
Back to the doorway.
And if you close the door,
You can open it.
The door is open,
You can step right through and you find yourself back at the bottom of your staircase.
And in a moment,
I'm going to count you up as you walk up the staircase from one to 10,
Each ascending number bringing you back into the present,
Into the here and now.
So if you're ready now,
Start walking up those stairs one,
Coming further up the stairs two,
Further up the stairs three,
Remembering your whole journey.
Further up the stairs four,
Coming further up the stairs five,
Remembering the fun,
The conversations,
The laughter.
Further up the stairs six,
Further up the stairs seven,
Feeling so wonderful for celebrating this midwinter,
This yule,
And the sun coming back with abundance,
Abundance for you and everyone you know.
Further up the stairs eight,
Further up the stairs nine,
Bringing back that piece of mistletoe that is going to bring you so much luck and joy,
Abundance and prosperity in 2022.
All the way up the stairs 10.
I want you now to wiggle your fingers and toes.
Make sure you are fully back,
Fully present.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes,
Drink some water and welcome back.
