Settle yourself where you can see the play of winter light - perhaps where sun catches ice crystals or where shadows dance on snow. If indoors, find a warm, bright spot. Let your shoulders drop and your face soften into a natural smile. Feel the earth's steady presence beneath you.
Opening - Winter's Warmth
Tha mi a' gairm air Màthair an Aoibhneis (I call upon the Mother of Joy)
Ann an gealach a' gheamhraidh (In winter's brightness)
Far a bheil solas a' dannsa (Where light dances)
Air sneachd geal (On white snow)
Notice how happiness glows from within, like the warmth of earth beneath winter's blanket. The Mother nurtures this inner flame even in the coldest season.
Body - The Glowing Heart
A Mhàthair, tha mo chridhe blàth (Mother, my heart is warm)
Mar teine teaghlaich (Like a hearth fire)
A' soillseadh (Glowing)
Tro dhorchadas a' gheamhraidh (Through winter's darkness)
Let happiness spread through you like warmth from a hearth. The Mother shows how joy can radiate outward, melting frozen places.
