Meditations

Musings from Gelli Fach. Guided meditations or visualisations, although developed from modern psychotherapeutic techniques, lend themselves well to work with Brigit. They are interactive stories, which work on many levels, drawing the listener in by their use of symbols. Like a poem they are unique to each person because different events and images are activated in each listeners mind. Just as no-one sees the same rainbow, no-one experiences the same visualisation.

Musings from Gelli Fach. If you are the artist please contact m. The Mystery of Brigit. You walked out of ancient mists. Bringing light to my hearth,. Blessing with fire,. Restoring the life with the flame. Clothed in your grace,. I follow your footsteps. To the place where. And the shapes behind myth. Are revealed as truth. And sharpens memory,. You are my maker of song,. The radiant flame of gold. That illuminates the land. Beyond the ninth wave,. That forges a sword of light. To penetrate, to heal.

Musings from Gelli Fach. The Caim or Sanctuary of Brigit. Be the compassing of Bride around me. Keeping me from ill and evil,. Keeping me from death and doom,. From malice and misfortune. Be the fiery sword of Bride. Defending me from all black swarms. Be the shield of blessed Bride. Protecting me from all sharp edges. Be the cloak of gentle Bride. Be the compassing of Bride around me,. Keeping me from hurt and harm,. Keeping me from wound and woe,. From darkness and despair. This day and every day,.
