Am recently retired from a very stressful job and have used these meditations to calm my soul. Monday I worked one day (same job) and missed the live stream. I found that I could not even concentrate enough to follow when I got home. What a revelation to see just how stressed I had been. Today following and happy to do so
Thank you Philip 💜 this took me right back to being sat atop the Tor when I lived in Glastonbury. Shall try to catch the sun rising here in Scotland but if that fails, this has been perfect for it.
strangely, I also pictured Glastonbury sun rise!perfect
Thanks Philip, this is exactly where I am personally, and your meditation is a keeper to use again and agsin.Happy solstice to all. From SE Tennessee.
Thank you! ☺
Beautiful meditation thank you 🙏🏻
I really enjoyed that meditation ~ many thanks 😊
I completely resonate with your reading as it is actually happening here in Vermont the heat slowly building after rains subsiding. I’m more conscious now of the relationship we have to the sun and the way my plants are behaving in the gardens so thank you for this reading. If one considers the Pangea theory then Vermont would have very nicely wrapped around parts of England and France creating an atavistic relativity
Thank you! This took me right back to the Scottish Highlands where I used to love watching the shafts of sunlight over the mountains and across the lochs.
I resonate with the tention in terms of the fea, i have always seen them as kind and nice and the elves and pixies as much more mysterious.
I think there was a lot of explaining in that text but beautiful writing. ❤
This summer soltice has changed for me, sometimes it feels like I can not catch up with the brightness, will check out your book, sounds beautiful 😊
Thankyou for sharing, will pop over to the blog
Yes, I definitely get it too. To me it's like a corresponding tension just before the Winter Solstice where we and the other beings in nature are waiting, waiting, waiting for the first glimpses and suggestions of the return of the light after a long period of intense dark. Then we all breathe a huge sigh of relief as the shift towards lighter days begins, ever so gently and slowly.
It resonates with me! I was unsettled and restless. My problems still linger but I now have acceptance. And right now the north east u.s. is soooo hot in the 90’s with humidity like the tropics makes frustrations more extreme.
The Reading was most helpful in reminding me the Nature of the Season. My Gratitude.
My Appreciation for the Solstice Meditation and Blessing; it lightened my heart.
This feels like home ... thank you ♥
That was so interesting, normally i am able to follow your words, this tome loads of diffrent visions of when i have connected to nature came into my mind.
I grok the building tension in any project, the depth of historical connections and mythical associations are great. However, the tone of the book or the depth of the rest of the book might have been on the minds of the editors. This passage may be the seed of another exploration.
What do you think about incorporating stoicism into Pagan/Druid philosophy? I've always loved some quotes by Marcus Aurelius and I've been reading more about him and I'm very attracted to it - I was just curious if that is something any of you have looked at . . . I don't see any conflict with Pagan/Druid ideas - but I'm eclectic as hell - so even if there were I'd figure out a way around them :)
Feeling a little cold, itchey and irritated
