Rune Gift Guided Meditation
This meditation is intended to help you connect with
the runes on a deeper level. It is particularly
helpful to tape-record the meditation and play
it just before going to sleep, and upon waking.
If you tape-record it and want to use it before
going to sleep, just alter the ending to take
you into a restful, refreshing sleep. You can
also change the meditation to use the word "god"
in place of "goddess," if you prefer.
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and relax. Get
as comfortable as you can, breathing and relaxing
more and more. Breathe in to the count of three,
holding your breath for three counts and then
exhaling completely. Do this three times or more,
and allowing all the tension of the day to leave
your body every time you exhale. Each sound you
hear in the room will help you to become even more
relaxed and peaceful.
Begin to breathe white light into your body from
all around you. It's as if you can feel yourself
breathing in the light through your skin, through
the tips of your toes and the top of your head,
softly and completely. As you breathe in the white
light, you can feel it flowing through your body
and warming you from head to toe.
Now very slowly begin to visualize yourself walking
down a garden path on a warm summer's day, the sun
shining brightly. The air is warm and a gentle breeze
touches your face. You come to a garden gate made of
wood. The gate is very ornate and carved with runic
symbols. The symbols seem to come alive as the sun
shines on the gate.
Slowly you open the gate, and as you do you notice
the warmth of the wood on your hands. You walk slowly
through the gate into the lush garden, leaving the gate
open behind you. As you enter the garden the smell of
roses, lavender, and jasmine fills your senses. Several
tall mountain ash trees guard the entrance, and their
branches suggest ancient runic symbols in the way they
weave together. oaks, pines, and fir trees surround the
area, shading delicate ferns and butter-colored wild irises.
Pine needles, twigs, and leaves cover the ground here and
there, and their shapes, again, remind you of runes.
You can hear bees buzzing in the garden as you walk on,
and the smell of water greets you as you approach a small
pool fed by a natural spring. The spring bubbles softly over
several large milky-white quartz stones as the water flows
into the pool.
You sit down comfortably on the grassy bank next to the
pool and look into the water. You can see the reflection
of trees in a circle around the pool and you also see
yourself in the brightly lit water. Dip your hand into the
water and feel the cool sensation, perhaps even take a drink
from the pool.
Noticing some very small white quartz stones at the edge
of the pool, you pick up three stones in your hand and
begin throwing them into the pool, one at a time. You watch
the ripples from each stone move outward and finally disappear
before you toss in the next. With each stone you toss into
the water, you feel more relaxed, peaceful, and warm.
Suddenly you have the sensation and realization that you
are not alone. As you look to your left, the picture and form
of the Goddess appears. Study her image for a few moments,
using your breath to get an even clearer picture of her.
Taking a deep breath, you can see her clearly now. Communicate
with her. If you know her name, call her name. If you don't
know her name, ask her and she will tell you. Merge with
her and become one with the Goddess. With each breath you
take, her image becomes more defined and her face more clear.
She seems surrounded by a kind of golden-white luminosity
that radiates from her being and melts into yours.
In her hand, she holds a rune stone. Notice which rune
symbol and what kind of stone it is. Take the stone from
the Goddess and notice how it feels in your hand. It may
feel cool or hot, alive with energy or soothing and calm.
Trace the runic symbol engraved in the stone with you fingers,
feeling the indentation on the smooth surface. This rune
stone is your magical gift from the Goddess, and you can use
it to communicate directly with the divine.
Now it is your turn to give the Goddess something in return:
a kiss, a song perhaps, or a vow-whatever you choose. Give this
gift to her now. Breathing slowly and deeply, say whatever you
need to say to her, silently and completely. Breathe slowly and
visualize the experience even more clearly now sensing every
feeling and thought between you and the Goddess.
Suddenly the Goddess beckons you to follow her. You carry your
rune stone with you as she takes you through the garden, showing
you the many trees, plants, roses, and other flowers, animals,
and magical beings that live there. You notice the runic symbols
in nature all around you. The bright sun shines upon everything:
the leaves of the plants, the branches of the trees, the path in
front of you-brightening everything with its pure light. The Goddess
reminds you that you can return to this magical garden whenever you
choose, and then she takes your hand and guides you through the
wooden gate carved with runes, closing the gate behind you.
As you move through the gate, the Goddess Becmes invisible, but
she is still very much with you. You can sense her hand on yours.
She is always with you. The rune stone gift that she has given you
is eternal.
Slowly begin to move back into your body, remembering the rune
symbol that the Goddess has given you and what you have given her,
knowing that these gifts are signs of you connection with the Goddess
and the divine. Moving your hands, toes, amd head, come back to the
present moment completely, opening your eyes and breathing deeply.
Be sure to make note of the rune stone the Goddess gave you, and
what you gave her in return. Look up the meaning of the rune and
study the description. Over the next few weeks, notice how this
particular rune influences your life.
