Last week I invited you to share some words,
Words that you would like to have woven into a wreath
A wreath that when worn would be a crown of beauty
A wreath that when held would become a talisman of magic
A wreath that when placed around your neck would touch your heart and gift you with profound healing.
I received some beautiful words. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to write your special words.
To receive the wreath and the special words, I invite you to come on a journey with me
I invite you to imagine you are walking on the earth.
Barefoot upon the earth.
Step
by step
you walk upon the earth
Step
by step
you feel the earth under your feet.
What does the earth feel like under your feet?
What does the air feel like upon your face?
Now imagine as you walk upon the earth,
Imagine that you are walking to a magneficant clearing
A clearing that is surrounded by a sacred circle
What makes up your circle?
What defines the boundaries of your sacred circle?
Gently walk around the inside of your circle.
Gently reach out and touch the beautiful things that make up your circle - maybe sacred stones, maybe beautiful trees, maybe a circle of fine spring flowers, maybe something else
Gently touch. Gently walk around.
And very slowly,
Once you have walked around the circle,
Walk to the centre and feel the fire gently glow.
Here you meet a Spirit Guide.
What does your guide look like?
What is your guide wearing?
Maybe you have met before in some other space
Maybe this guide is a new friend.
Whoever comes to you in this sacred space is a friend,
a dear dear friend.
I invite you to introduce yourself
And your guide may introduce back - sharing a name,
maybe.
Speaking to you,
Yes.
Your guide then gently invites you to step closer.
“Come. On this Full Moon night, I have a gift for you”
Out of a hand woven basket your guide lifts out a wreath
A wreath of the most exquiste flowers you have ever seen
A wreath woven in the most intricate and delicate way
A wreath so beautfiul and so exquiste that as you look closer you feel that all around you has become silent
silent,
in honour of the beauty and exquisiteness that beholds you.
“Step closer.” Your guide says.
You do.
“Bend your head”
You do.
The wreath is placed upon your head
“May this wreath CALM the worries and anxieties in your mind.
May this wreath gift you BALANCE and GENTLENESS
when your days feel too full and the demands too overwheming.
May this wreath gift you REST,
when the world around you asks more and more of you.
May this wreath EASE your troubles and soothe your pain with PEACE.”
Your guide pauses.
Then gently comes over and moves the wreath from the top of your head to over your head so it sits like a lei upon your heart.
“May this wreath with its beautiful PETALS of JOY fill you with ILLUMINATION, and VITALITY
May this wreath as it sits upon your heart,
May it invite you to SURRENDER with GRACE the unwanted, the troublesome, the stressful.
May this wreath in its SIMPLICITY offer you LOVE.
May this wreath be a talisman.
A GENTLE powerful talisman of deep TRUST
Where you can come and feel safe and held
Where you can feel a FLOURISHING energy of protection and PEACE
A HARMONIOUS interaction beyond the words, beyond the flowers, beyond the circle …”
You hear beyond the silence an invitation to reach up and touch the wreath around your neck.
GENTLE. SOFT.
A circle of HOPE
A circle of DEVOTION.
You stand there,
Under the light of the Full Moon with your Spirit Guide next to you
With the wreath around your neck
And as you stand there
The light of the Moon shines over you and around you
And you feel the blessings of the wreath, like moonbeams falling,
gently falling deeper and deeper into your body
into your skin
into your muscles
into your bones,
into your organs
into your blood
into your mind
into your nervous system
into your cells
deeply
deeply
the blessing of the wreath sinks deeper and deeper into you
Becoming You
as you BECOME it
Wreath and Human
Human and Wreath.
The Moonbeams fall upon you
You feel the gentle and powerful energy of the wreath deep in your cells.
Your Spirit Guide smiles
and nods
“It is time now to walk back upon the path you came.
Take the wreath home with you
Take it home and place it somewhere where you can touch it over and over again.
Take it home and wear it.
As a crown
As a lei
As a talisman”
You smile,
You say thank you.
And you slowly,
Step by step
Make your way back to the path
and to the threshold of here and there.
When you have arrived you pause.
Pause.
Pause
and remember the energy, the journey, your guide,
Pause
and remember the light of the Moon over your body
Pause
and remember the blessings that you received as you were gifted the wreath.
Pause
and consider,
“How will I integrate this blessing into my daily life?”
And only when you are ready
Step over that threshold ,
and into your room
and back
into your physical body.
May you remember this journey
And may the integration be a continuation of the blessigns that occured this eve.
Until we meet again,
Blessed be.
In gratitude to those that sent in words to enable the wreath to be send futher a field.

This is wonderful, I love how you wove together all the words shared into a beautiful prayer/blessing. Isn't this how we grace the world, by sharing a piece of it. Then as you did here, blending them in partnership as another piece that then goes out as grace into the world....
I’ve only just seen this. How beautiful and I’m honoured that my word was included. 🙏💫
