Greetings friends and welcome.
In today's journey to meet with a Celtic goddess,
We will meet Ariannrhod,
The Welsh Celtic goddess of moon and stars.
It is said that she has palaces both in the heavens and upon earth.
Her name means silver wheel,
Representing the wheels of the year,
Of fate and destiny,
And of the spinning wheel weaving the tapestry of our lives.
And it was with this thought of weaving the fates that I thought of positive affirmations and how useful they can be to us.
Not everyone enjoys positive affirmations,
They're not right for everybody,
But if you would like to journey with me perhaps we will explore the possibility together.
So as always,
Take your time,
Close your eyes,
Find a warm and soft place to be.
Goddess Ariannrhod will watch over us as we relax and settle.
Maybe we envisage gazing up at the stars woven into lines of constellations in the clear and starry sky.
And the goddess may watch over us from her castles in the heavens or from the earth.
A web of stars surrounds us,
The universe surrounds us.
I'm going to speak some affirmations and pause after each one.
You may repeat them if you wish,
Or simply listen and relax.
Some you may wish to change a little to be right and personal for you.
Today I can breathe deeply at this moment.

My body,

I might begin to utilize them in a small way today or work to improve them.

And now dear ones,
After many words,
Let's take a quiet pause to just let those affirmations or any moment of peace fall around us.
When you do feel ready,
Let's take a deep breath or two.
You can stretch and move and open the eyes when you feel ready as I welcome you back to the day.
I invite you here,
If you wish,
To take a little time to write down some of your own affirmations that you may wish to use together or instead of the ones I have offered up today.
Just as Ariane Rod weaves the tapestries of our lives,
We can weave a little of our own as well,
Taking time to find new pathways,
A new pattern and finding our own ways to heal,
Change and set our own intentions.
And with this in mind,
I will let the music play for a minute or two more just to give you a chance to reflect and write if you so wish.
And as always,
I thank you for joining me and I look forward to journeying with you again soon.
Thank you and farewell for now.
