I wrote this meditation, beginning and ending with some words from St. Patrick's Lorica. We used it for Still Waters last Saturday in the prayer loft and we're going to try it outside for our Quiet Garden morning tomorrow ...
Earth
Meditation ...
I Arise Today
Through the strength of heaven
Light of Sun
Radiance of Moon
Splendour of Fire
Speed of Lightening
Swiftness of Wind
Depth of Sea
Stability of Earth
Firmness of Rock ...
Standing
– grounded through feet and centred in breath
1.
Turn to the North –
bring your awareness to the element of Air and wind; a place of communication &
direction. What is the invitation or challenge for you in this place? ... Allow
all that comes to mind to be gently present. Draw them in through your breath,
breath out the healing unity of the Creator of Creation
2.
Turn to the East – bring your awareness to the element of Fire and the rising sun; a
place of passion & transformation. What is the invitation or challenge for
you in this place? ... Allow all that comes to mind to be gently
present. Draw everything in through your breath, breath out the healing unity
of the Creator of Creation
3. Turn to the
South - bring your awareness to the element of Water and rain,
a place of growth & healing. What is the invitation or challenge for you in
this place? ... Allow all that comes to
mind to be gently present. Draw everything in through your breath, breath out
the healing unity of the Creator of Creation
4. Turn to the
West – bring your awareness to the element of Earth
and soil; a place of rootedness & stability. What is the invitation or
challenge for you in this place? ... Allow all that comes to mind to be gently
present. Draw everything in through your breath, breath out the healing unity
of the Creator of Creation
I Arise Today
Through the
strength of heaven
Light of Sun
Radiance of Moon
Splendour of Fire
Speed of
Lightening
Swiftness of Wind
Depth of Sea
Stability of
Earth
Firmness of Rock
...
I
arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of
the Creator of creation
St. Patrick’s Lorica
Peace be with you.
