As Yule continues, the light of the world is reborn, and we are invited to journey inward, tending to the emotions that weigh on our hearts. This is a time of renewal and healing, of acknowledging what has been damaged and opening ourselves to transformation.

Setting the Space

Sit comfortably. Feel the earth beneath you, steady and unyielding, supporting your journey. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

"Mothaigh suaimhneas na talún thíos fút." (Feel the peace of the earth beneath you.)

Close your eyes and let the stillness of Yule settle into your soul.

Invocation

Call upon the spirit of Yule:"A Spiorad na Bliana Nua, cuir do sholas agus do shíocháin chugainn."(Spirit of the New Year, send us your light and peace.)

Feel the presence of the season’s energy—calm, restorative, and brimming with potential.

Meditative Reflection

Yule is a season of endings and beginnings, a time to honor both the pain and the possibility that life holds. Reflect on the emotions that feel damaged or fragile within you. Whisper to yourself:"Tá bristeacha i ngach duine, ach is féidir leo leigheas."(There are fractures in everyone, but they can heal.)

Acknowledge these feelings without judgment. They are part of your story, but they do not define your entirety. Picture them as frost on a winter branch—beautiful in their own way, but ready to thaw under the warmth of care.

Guided Visualization

Imagine a great tree, crann mór, standing in a winter forest. Its branches are bare, its bark cracked from storms past, but its roots are deep and strong, drawing life from the earth.

Now see a soft golden light, solas óir, descending from above. It touches the tree, mending the cracks, coaxing new buds to life. Imagine this light flowing into you, reaching the places that feel damaged or broken, gently healing and restoring.

Whisper:"Lig dom glacadh leis an bpaindéim agus an leigheas a thagann ina dhiaidh."(Let me accept the pain and the healing that follows.)

Feel the light filling you with warmth and hope, repairing what feels broken, making space for growth.

Closing Blessing

As Yule continues, take this moment to honor your healing. You are a tree standing strong through the winter, ready for the spring to come.

"Go mairfidh an solas i do chroí agus go leighisfidh sé do chréachtaí."(May the light live in your heart and heal your wounds.)

Carry the energy of Yule’s renewal into your day and beyond. You are whole, even in your mending.

"Beannachtaí na hÍce ort."(Blessings of healing upon you.)
