Preparation
Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. Sit with your feet on the ground or lie down if that feels better. Close your eyes and begin to slow your breathing. Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, release tension from your body. Let yourself settle into the embrace of the earth.
Opening Invocation
"A Mháthair an Dúlra, glac mo phian agus déan é a athrú."
(Mother of Nature, receive my pain and transform it.)
Feel the solid ground beneath you, warm and supportive. Picture yourself in a sacred grove surrounded by ancient trees, their roots deeply intertwined, holding space for you.
Grounding
Imagine roots extending from your body, growing downward into the earth. These roots seek the stability of the soil and the nourishing energy of the earth’s core.
"Táim ceangailte leis an Domhan Mhór."
(I am connected to the Great Earth.)
Feel the earth’s steady pulse, reminding you that you are part of something vast and ancient. Let this energy fill you with calm and strength.
Visualization for Healing
Now, bring to mind the relationship you wish to heal. See it as a cord connecting you and the other person. This cord may look frayed, knotted, or heavy.
"Osclaím mo chroí don leigheas."
(I open my heart to healing.)
Gently place your hands over your heart. With each breath, allow light to flow from your heart into the cord. Picture this light untangling knots, smoothing rough edges, and dissolving pain. As the light grows, feel compassion blooming in your heart—not just for the other person but for yourself as well.
"Maithim dom féin agus duit-se."
(I forgive myself and you.)
Release of Trauma
Visualize the earth beneath you opening slightly, just enough to receive what you are ready to let go of. Imagine placing the pain, anger, or grief into this opening.
"Tógfaidh an talamh mo thromaíocht."
(The earth will take my burden.)
The earth transforms this energy, composting it into fertile soil for new growth. Trust that what you release will no longer hold power over you.
Renewal and Blessing
When the cord feels light, whole, or ready to dissolve, let it transform into something new—a blooming flower, a radiant tree, or a flowing stream. This symbolizes the healing of the relationship, whether it continues or ends.
"Beannachtaí don todhchaí atá romhainn."
(Blessings to the future ahead of us.)
Feel gratitude for the work you’ve done and the strength it took to face this moment. Let yourself rest in the quiet peace of the grove, knowing you are supported by the earth and all its living beings.
Closing
Take a few deep breaths. Begin to bring your awareness back to your body and surroundings. Wiggle your fingers and toes. When you feel ready, open your eyes.
"Go raibh an tsíocháin leat."
(May peace be with you.)
