This short breath meditation (3:33min) is traditionally the Centering process for the PaGaian Summer Solstice/Litha ceremony as it developed over decades in the sacred space of MoonCourt in the Blue Mountains Australia. The script for it is below the video link, and can also be found the Summer Solstice chapter in my book A Poiesis of the Creative Cosmos: Celebrating Her within PaGaian Sacred Ceremony.
Script: Breathe deep, and sink into the weight of your body – feel Earth holding you. This is how She holds you – feel your weight, Earth holding you. With this same power Earth is held in orbit around Sun, Moon around Earth. Feel this Power in you … this relationship with Earth, Sun and Moon – this Cosmos. Breathe into it.
Breathe deep, and draw up from the Mother all that you desire … filling your bodymind to capacity, until you can draw it no longer, feeling the fullness at the peaking of your breath, and the urge to release it … then letting it go. Again, breathing deep, filling your bodymind to capacity – feeling the Fullness at the peaking of your breath – holding it a moment, and feeling the urge to let it go, to pour it forth – then letting it go … feeling this Sacred Interchange of form and formlessness – the fullness of being and the pouring forth of it.
This is how Gaia breathes in our part of the world at this time. She is filling to capacity, and giving it away, letting it go. Joining with Her now in this breath … breathing deep, filling to capacity, feeling Her Fullness and the urge to release, let go, pour it forth – and as you do, recalling those times in your life when have acted with ease and poured forth your essence. This is the Summerland within you … the Sacred Interchange of form – the fullness of being, and formlessness – the dissolving. Feel it in your breath.
