Mabon Meditation
Guided
Meditation For Honouring Mabon.
Relax your body, breathing quietly. Feel each part of your
body letting go. When you are completely relaxed concentrate
on your breathing for a few minutes.
Go within your breath.
Here you find yourself in a summer wood. There is a well used
path at your feet. You follow this path, enjoying the calls
of the lark and robin. You see a clearing in the trees up
ahead. In it you find a meadow full of summer flowers. There
is a coolness in the air, a sense of being on the cusp of
change. Perhaps the leaves in one or two trees have flared
bright yellow or orange.
You notice a young girl picking flowers in the meadow. She
is beautiful. She has a garland of summer flowers in her hair.
She seems familiar to you.
You realise she is no young girl. She is Persephone, part-time
Queen of the Underworld. This is the meadow where Hades first
found her and tore her from the bosom of her Mother, the Earth.
It is almost time for her to go underground for another winter.
Go to her. She has something to say to you...
From here let the meditation take you where
it will. Enjoy!
Alternative Meditation
For Mabon
Prepare yourself for meditation in the usual way. Sit comfortably
and relaxed. Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths to cleanse
your body and mind of everyday cares and concerns.
Picture yourself, sitting quietly in a large, empty room.
The walls and floor are quite plain, there is nothing else
here, only you.
Now turn your consciousness inwards. Look inside yourself,
into your very heart, your soul. Do you see something there
you don't like, something that does not belong? Pluck it out.
Take hold of the thought, the idea, the negative aspect of
your character, or whatever it is, grasp it with the hands
of your psychic body and draw it out: a nasty, black, sticky,
stringy mess. Form it into a ball in your hands; a black,
sticky, rubbery sort of ball.
Now reach inside again and take another negative thought or
emotion. Draw it out. Add it to the black, sticky ball in
your hands. Keep doing this, again and again, until there
is no negativity left in you, nothing disharmonious or harmful
at all in your psyche.
After continuing in this way for some time, you find you are
not alone in the room. You look up, and you see before you
an Archangel. It is Michael, clothed in red and carrying a
huge, fiery sword. Take the black ball of negativity you have
in your hands and throw it at him with all your might. Michael
swings his sword, and the ball of negativity vanishes in a
great burst of flame.
Now all is quiet. Sit here peacefully for a moment, resting,
recovering your natural, harmonious energies. And then, when
you are ready, return to objective reality, in the place and
the time where you tarted your meditation. Put your consciousness
in the centre of your head, just behind your eyes; and when
you are ready, open your eyes.
Take a few hours, or a few days, to absorb the significance
of this meditation. If you wish, you may repeat the meditation
several times during the period around the Festival concerned.
