Create a space with four items: a candle for Brigid's flame, a small bowl of water to represent emotional flow, a white cloth or ribbon for clarity, and if possible, early spring flowers or seedlings. Sit where you can feel both grounded and open to change.

[Feel yourself standing at the threshold of an ancient stone doorway. Snow melts around its base, revealing the first green shoots of spring. A warm breeze carries the scent of awakening earth.]

Màthair na h-Earraich, fosgail mo chridheMother of Spring, open my heart

Mar a dh'fhosglas an talamhAs the earth opens

[Watch as gentle flames begin to dance along the stones, illuminating whatever emotions are rising within you.]

Leig dhomh a bhith fìorLet me be true

[Step through the doorway into a sacred valley where winter meets spring. Streams of melting snow create patterns that match your emotional state - be they turbulent rapids or quiet pools.]

Tha mi nam sheasamh ann am fìrinnI stand in my truth

A' leigeil le mo chridhe bruidhinnLetting my heart speak

[Feel the ancient earth energy rising through your feet, while Brigid's healing flames dance in the air around you. Each flame transforms into a bird of light that carries your emotions skyward.]

Mar a ruitheas na h-uilltAs the streams flow

Mar a dh'èireas a' ghrianAs the sun rises

[Watch as your emotional energy takes visible form - perhaps as colored mist, flowing water, or dancing light. Let it move and change freely.]

Tha gach faireachdainn naomhEach feeling is sacred

A' gluasad tro mo bhithMoving through my being

Mar thoradh na talmhainnLike the fruit of the earth

[Feel the balance of Brigid's flame and spring water creating perfect acceptance of your emotional state.]

Màthair, beannaich mo chridheMother, bless my heart

[See your emotions as sacred messengers, each one carrying wisdom from deep within.]

Glan mo shùileanClean my eyes

Le do ghliocas sìorraidhWith your eternal wisdom

[Know that like the seasons themselves, all emotional states are part of the great cycle of growth.]

Is treòraich mi gu fìrinnAnd guide me to truth

As you honor your current emotional state, consider:

What message does this emotion carry? How does it connect you to the greater cycles of nature and growth?

Remember: As Imbolc celebrates the stirring of new life beneath winter's surface, every emotion carries seeds of wisdom waiting to bloom.
