Samhain Guided Meditation!
Sit quietly once again. Close your eyes and concentrate on your
breathing. One long breath in, hold it, then let it out slowly. Again.
One long breath in, hold it, let it out again slowly.
Your body is heavy, but let your mind be at ease. All thoughts are
stilled now. Feel the darkness wrap you in it's arms... feel it as it
grazes your body, surrounding you. Listen to my voice. It is the beacon
that will lead you through this pitch black night. Hear it; focus on it.
Through the darkness you begin to see a blue-white pinpoint of light...
just at the edge of your peripheral vision. Far distant, it sings to
you. Enchants you, like a thousand sirens calling. Do not look at this
light straight on! Do not strain to see from whence it comes. Already,
you feel the emotions left behind as your ancestors moved towards the
SummerLand. Joy, fear, hope, blessed relief.
Feel them as they wash over your shoulders, cascading down your body,
puddling at your feet like rain water.
But the time has come to return to our land again... to return to our
side of the Veil. Turn away from the darkness, from that beckoning
pinpoint of light. Turn away from the siren songs of the Faeries. Let us
walk towards the Sun, back to our world.
Slowly you convince your feet to move... at first with great difficulty.
Each step you take becomes easier, though... lighter. You feel the
darkness rising from around you, releasing it's hold on you. Blithely
now, you hike towards the Sun... feeling almost weightless, carefree and
giddy.
Watch out! You almost skipped cheerfully into that Chasm right in front
of you! But wait! What's this? Suddenly you're surrounded by all manner
of strange beings... bats and spiders... things that creep and things
that flit... and every one of them wants to grab you! The bats are in
your hair... vines from nowhere seek to claim your legs and feet... and
what IS that crawling on your arm???
Run now! Gather your strength and leap over that void. See yourself as
you sail effortlessly over it. You cannot fall, but you must leap amidst
the oddities to return to this world. Focus on the chasm. See it...
gauge its distance across. Now, start running... faster.. faster...
faster. Now! Leap across the Void!
Yes! You made it! We're here! We're home! But wait, did I forget to tell
you to seal the doorway in your mind? I think I must have... because
something has followed you thru the Void! Turn, turn around and look at
what you've brought back!
Open your eyes and see! The Great Pumpkin lives!
