Meditation: Dec 30th
To the Mother, I ask for help....
As the year wanes, we reflect on the losses we have experienced—of people, opportunities, or moments. Loss is a sacred part of life’s cycle, and in it, we find connection to The Mother, who holds all of our pain and healing within her embrace.
Setting the Space
Find a quiet place where you feel supported. Sit comfortably, and let your shoulders relax. Close your eyes and take a deep breath, inhaling through your nose and exhaling slowly.
"Mothaigh lámha na Máthar ag tacú leat agus ag tabhairt suaimhnis duit."
(Feel the hands of the Mother supporting you and bringing you peace.)
Let yourself be held in this moment, free from judgment or expectation.
Invocation
Call upon The Mother:
"A Mháthair Uile, glac lenár mbrón agus cabhraigh linn sólás a fháil i do ghrá."
(Mother of All, accept our sorrow and help us find comfort in your love.)
Feel her presence as a steady, warm embrace, holding you in your grief and your healing.
Meditative Reflection
Loss leaves spaces within us, but these spaces are not emptiness—they are sacred ground. They hold the memories, the lessons, and the love that remains.
Whisper softly:
"Tá brón orm as mo chaillteanas, ach tá mé buíoch as an méid a bhí."
(I grieve my loss, but I am grateful for what was.)
Allow yourself to honor the pain of what has been lost. It is a part of your story, one that The Mother sees and understands. She asks for nothing but your truth.
Guided Visualization
Imagine yourself in a quiet forest, coill chiúin, beneath a great, ancient tree. The branches stretch wide, offering shelter, while the roots run deep, connecting to the earth’s core. This is The Mother’s tree, crann na Máthar, a symbol of her eternal care.
Sit at the base of the tree and feel its warmth. Place your hands on the ground, letting your sorrow flow into the earth. Whisper:
"Glac an brón seo, a Mháthair, agus tabhair leigheas dom."
(Accept this sorrow, Mother, and bring me healing.)
As the tree absorbs your grief, it sends back strength, comfort, and renewal. Feel this energy rising through you, filling the spaces left by loss with peace and love.
Closing Blessing
Loss is not an end, but a transformation, and The Mother is with you through every change. May her love soothe your heart and her presence guide your healing.
"Go gcoinní an Mháthair tú i ngrá agus i síocháin."
(May the Mother hold you in love and peace.)
Open your eyes and take a deep breath. Carry The Mother’s embrace with you into the day, knowing that you are never alone.
"Beannachtaí na Máthar agus an leighis ort."
(Blessings of the Mother and healing upon you.)
