A pathworking for the Summer Solstice that can be used anytime of year when you need empowerment from the ever-flowing source. About 13 1/2 minutes and headphones suggested.
"Full of the Sun Pathworking"
Close your eyes and move inwards. Take a deep breath and become aware of any distractions from the outside world— sounds, sensations, thoughts and feelings that came with you to this moment. Gather these distractions together ••••• and bid them depart until you return from this journey. •••••
Open your eyes briefly and then close them again holding within yourself the image of where you are in the here and now. See a sparkling mist rolling, slowly filling your vision. See it grow thicker, and thicker, and thicker until you are enveloped in swirls of pearly mist, rosy mist, that glistens with sparkling motes. ••••• Although you are still, you feel motion all around you. The fog swirling all around you grows dimmer and dimmer.
All that is, • is a soft darkness • in every direction and above and below. A velvety richness of black with shadowy suggestions of crimson and purple that you breathe in and breathe out with ease. • You float comfortably, upheld by the billowing of the velvety richness that fills your senses. •• You feel a touch across your face as soft as the gentlest breeze, so soft it could have been just imagination. Then you feel it again. You feel a rhythm. You feel it pass over you like a ripple on a pond. A ripple that repeats again and again and again in the fabric of all that is. ••
The faint ripple now becomes a tide. You sense motion. You are carried along on this tide as easily as foam atop the ocean. ••• Slowly you begin to sense that you are not moving in a straight line. You are moving in a great circle. • The tempo of this great turning is increasing • and with that increase you see faint glimmers of color, followed by sparks, and rays of light that radiate from the center of that great circle that you are following.
The rich velvet of the dark is now the backdrop for a wheel of brilliance, a wheel of all colors You are now spiraling in towards the wheel, moving faster and faster. • As you move closer and move faster, you see that the center of the wheel is an absolute void without color or form. • You are falling towards the center, towards the void, towards the dark. You are so close that the dark is all you see. •••
You pass into the center and hear a sound so low and deep that it rumbles through you as if you were a reed in the wind. Nothingness, Nothingness, Nothingness.•••
Then a thunderclap. • And you ARE and you are somewhere. There is a sense of your body, the smell of roses and lavender, and you see stars above you. • The full moon hangs low in the sky, filling the grassy landscape with warm shadows and cool blue highlights. You look down at your feet and see that you are standing on a stone disc, perhaps nine feet across. You lift your gaze and see a stone path, that forms a circle with the disc that you stand upon as its center. You recognize the meaning of the circle and the dot. Together they are the glyph, the symbol of the Sun. The dimensionless point and bounded infinity of the circle. •
It is MidSummer Eve, the night before the Summer Solstice. This knowledge is yours without question or explanation. You feel the turning of the Earth beneath you, and marvel that you can feel it. You feel honor bound to stay on the central disc. • You keep vigil as the land makes its pilgrimage from night to day.
As you observe, as you mark, the anticipation, the building energy, of the awakening land, you hear a wordless song that comes from directly beneath your feet. You strain to hear the song better and you begin to understand the meaning of the song though the words are no human language. You see the blazing core of the Earth surrounded by the dark layers of stone that are the body of the World. ••• The Inner Sun of the Earth awaits the dawning of the Longest Day.
The song continues, but your sight is no longer shaped by the song. You look up and see that the Moon is about to set and that the first rays of Dawn have appeared. Suddenly the Moonlight and the first rays of Dawn become so bright that they shine through you. At the Root of your being, at the base of your spine, you see the light collect and reflect upwards, filling you with light. The light is silvery with hints of gold. ••
The Sun is now rising, rising, rising, in the North East. And you notice that time is moving faster than normal. The colors of the land ripple with change as the Sun rises higher and faster. The light reflecting upwards from your root is growing and the Inner Sun deep within the Earth is shining up into you from the disc of stone at your feet. •
The Sky is incredibly blue, a color richer than any sky that you have seen before. The Sun is climbing and as it climbs you feel a spark of light ignite within you in the space between your navel and the joining of your ribs. The spark becomes a small golden sun that fills your center.•••
The Sun is almost at its highest point in the sky. • You hear tones, clear, bright, sparkling tones and they seem to be coming from the many rays of light as they cross and touch each other. Just above your head a sphere of brilliance is forming, swirling with all colors like rainbow fire, each flame and spark ever changing in color and shape. The crystalline tones grow higher and louder.•
The Sun is at its zenith.• It is High Noon on the Summer Solstice. • It is the Full of the Sun. ••
The high bright tones from the strumming of the strings of light are joined by the deep rumble of the song of the Earth’s Sun below. The ground shakes and you struggle to remain standing on the center of the disc. A bolt of power races from the center of the Earth.• It passes through you with waves of warmth until it touches the Sphere of brilliance above your head. Your mouth opens in song and a pillar of light rises through you, from you towards the Sun above. ••
The shaft of light touches the Sun and you are floating in brilliance.•
You feel a whirling, a stirring in the currents of the Sun’s light and you are carried along like a feather in a gale. •
You are carried in a great torrent of light that jumps from the Sun into a dark space, darker and vaster than you can bear to behold. You know that you are moving in a great parabola, a great arc.••
The torrent of light is climbing and slowing, climbing and slowing, climbing and slowing. You see the goal of the flight. A glorious Sun that shows all others to be pale reflections of this • the Central Sun. Rays of brilliance reach towards you. You reach the topmost point of your flight and you touch the glowing corona. You are filled with a sense of peace, • completion,• hope, and a hint of the sadness of the separation that will come. ••
You over flow with the everflow of the light. The light pours down from you, following the path of your journey. Curving and spiraling downwards.
• A part of you returns downward with every wave of light. ••••
• A part of you returns downward with every wave of light. ••••
• A part of you returns downward with every wave of light. ••••
• A part of you returns downward with every wave of light. ••••
You can see the Earth spinning beneath you now. As you continue downwards with the flow. •
The Earth is growing larger, spinning with all the colors of the living world.
You are above the stone glyph of the Sun and the central disc is now the same darkness of the Turning Wheel that started this journey.
You fall through the center of the Wheel. •
All is a soft gray. • You feel the swirling and the turning all around you. ••
Little by little, the fog lifts and you flutter your eyes open and find yourself back in the here and now. Back in the place where we began. Back in the place you held in your memory so that you could return. •••
Take a deep breath. Move your toes and fingers. Be here and in the now. Be here and in the now. And you are here!
