Find a quiet space near a window where you can observe the winter sky. If possible, have a bowl of clean snow or ice water before you. Place your hands palm-down on your thighs, and let your feet rest firmly on the ground.

Opening - Winter's Embrace

Tha mi a' gairm air Màthair na Talmhainn (I call upon the Mother of Earth)

Ann an doimhneachd a' gheamhraidh (In the depths of winter)

Far a bheil an sneachd a' laighe (Where the snow lies)

Agus na craobhan nan cadal (And the trees sleep)

Picture the crystalline winter air around you, each breath drawing in the crisp clarity of February. Feel the deep stillness of the earth beneath the frost, where the Mother tends to sleeping roots and seeds.

Body - The Healing Waters

O Mhàthair, tha mo chridhe sgìth (O Mother, my heart is tired)

Mar abhainn reòthte fo dheigh (Like a frozen river under ice)

Leagh an reothadh seo (Melt this frost)

Le do ghràdh blàth (With your warm love)

Envision the Mother's healing energy as melting snow, trickling down through layers of earth. Each drop carries renewal, seeping into every tired space within you. The water moves like liquid light, dissolving tension and pain.

Sruth an leigheis (Stream of healing)

A' ruith tro mo chuislean (Running through my veins)

Mar uisge earraich (Like spring water)

A' glanadh gach creuchd (Cleansing every wound)

Closing - Return to Strength

Tha mi a' fàs làidir (I am growing strong)

Mar na freumhan fodham (Like the roots below me)

Ann an àite sàbhailte do ghaoil (In the safe place of your love)

Gu ruige earrach ùr (Until new spring)

Feel the renewed strength flowing through you, like sap beginning to rise in the trees. The Mother's healing has reached every part of you, leaving behind a gentle warmth even in winter's chill.

Afterthought

Take a moment to reflect: What parts of yourself have been waiting beneath the ice for healing? Like the dormant plants beneath the snow, what strength have you carried within you all along?

Slàn leat, a Mhàthair (Farewell, Mother)

Gu robh do ghliocas còmhla rium (May your wisdom stay with me)
