The Celtic Book of Seasonal Meditations by Claire Hamilton Pdf

The ancient Celts lived in harmony with nature, celebrating the season through raucous festivals, which always included feisty tales with morals and soul-stirring poetry. The Celtic Book of Seasonal Meditations offers an inspirational collection of prose, verse, and meditations drawn from ancient lore and designed to draw modern seekers into the rhythms of nature. Claire Hamilton's overall introduction, simply and briefly, gives readers the tools they need to interpret the recurring symbols and meanings in these excerpts. She gives ideas for meditation using the readings--how to invoke nature, how to go to the Well of Wisdom, how to meet the Goddess in one of her many aspects. The body of the book is organized by season, each beginning with a short introduction of Celtic practices and beliefs particular to the season. What follows are the tales of warriors and lovers, goddesses and gods, and maidens and faeries, the songs of heroes and poetry in celebration of nature. Meet Queen Medbh, an independent ruler who chose her husband by the qualities he must lack--meanness, fear, and jealousy. Spring has its Meditation on Air, and other ways to consider the meaning of things new, not just at the time of year. Ditto all the other seasons. This collection offers a wealth of scholarship and information in an easy-to-understand and use format. Summer' from Amergin's Poem of the SeasonsSummer is the season for long journeys, silent is the wood of the tall trees undisturbed by wind, green is its clothing, a sheltering canopy. The water sucks and swirls in the stream and there is warmth now in the very clods of earth. A celebration of the ancient Celts and their spirituality--use it for individualmeditation or in group rituals and practice. Mythic tales of warriors and faeries, meditations on the meanings of elements, and the symbols of nature. Celtic wisdom and lore made simple and interesting.

The Celtic Way of Seeing by Frank MacEowen Pdf

The Celtic Way of Seeing posits a direct link between the eye and the heart, a link that connects seekers to forces, energies, and knowledge that exist beyond the corporeal world. This book explores this concept through retelling the traditional story “The Settling of the Manor of Tara,” which describes the spiritual divisions of Ireland and the four directions — north, south, east, and west. The orientations to the four directions and the center become the focal point of a series of simple meditations that guide readers to “see” the directions, making the Irish Spirit Wheel come alive in their daily lives.

Becoming Rooted by Randy Woodley Pdf

What does it mean to become rooted in the land? How can we become better relatives to our greatest teacher, the Earth? Becoming Rooted invites us to live out a deeply spiritual relationship with the whole community of creation and with Creator. Through meditations and ideas for reflection and action, Randy Woodley, an activist, author, scholar, and Cherokee descendant, recognized by the Keetoowah Band, guides us on a one-hundred-day journey to reconnect with the Earth. Woodley invites us to come away from the American dream--otherwise known as an Indigenous nightmare--and get in touch with the water, land, plants, and creatures around us, with the people who lived on that land for thousands of years prior to Europeans' arrival, and with ourselves. In walking toward the harmony way, we honor balance, wholeness, and connection. Creation is always teaching us. Our task is to look, and to listen, and to live well. She is teaching us now.

A Celtic Book of Dying by Phyllida Anam-Áire Pdf

• Describes the Celtic rituals of honoring death and dying and offers prayers, meditations, and blessings for the time of transition • Offers reflective questions and exercises to explore your beliefs, attitudes, and fears around your own death • Includes the sacred meditation of traveling with the dead as offered by an anam-áire or Celtic soul carer THE CELTS BELIEVED in the transmigration of the soul, in the magical rhythm of life with a particular order of coming and going for each soul. As they celebrated every new stage of their lives with a ritual, they also honoured the passing of a soul--the death of the physical body. In her decades of work with the dying, Phyllida Anam-Áire has revived the ancient Celtic tradition of watching with the dying and traveling with the soul after death. Integrating the wisdom of her Celtic ancestors with modern knowledge of the death process, she shows how a peaceful transition for the leaving person is possible and how this process can be consciously supported by relatives or friends. Reflective exercises and meditations help us become aware of our beliefs and fears around dying and acknowledge our own death as a natural transformation, allowing our essence to move on into love. Once we come to terms with our own mortality, we will find it easier to assist family and friends in their last hours in this life. Rituals, prayers, and blessings in this guide offer compassionate support for the one transitioning and for those left behind. Phyllida also shares the sacred meditation of traveling with the dead as held by a Celtic Anam-Áire, or soul carer. In addition, she addresses many practical questions around the care for the dying and their environment during and after the process, stressing the importance of silence. A practical yet soulful guidebook, A Celtic Book of Dying deepens our spiritual understanding of the internal journey of the dying and the adventurous afterdeath journey still to embark on. Dying is the most natural step we will ever take.
