Today, we gather to honor those we have lost, to offer healing to our grieving hearts, and to feel the nurturing embrace of the Mother of the Earth. Let this meditation be a balm for sorrow and a spark of hope for the path forward.

Seo lá na h-athláiníocha agus na faoiseamh. Seo lá le bheith gar don Máthair na Cruinne.(This is a day of renewal and solace. This is a day to be close to the Mother of the Earth.)

Feel your connection to the Earth beneath you—solid, grounding, and eternal. Imagine her vast presence, full of wisdom and compassion, offering her blessings to all who seek her aid.

Close your eyes and take a moment to remember those you have lost. Let their presence fill your thoughts, not with pain, but with gratitude for the time you shared.

Cuimhnigh orthu siúd nach bhfuil linn a thuilleadh. Tabhair buíochas as a mbeatha agus an solas a thug siad chuig an domhan seo.(Remember those who are no longer with us. Give thanks for their lives and the light they brought to this world.)

Allow your sorrow to flow freely, like a stream returning to the ocean. Know that in the arms of the Mother, no loss is forgotten, and no grief is ignored.

Picture yourself in a sacred grove, surrounded by ancient trees whose roots stretch deep into the Earth. In the center of the grove stands a figure—the Mother of the Earth herself. She is both timeless and ever-changing, her form radiating warmth and love.

Suíom ort in aice léi. Lig do do chroí briste a bheith oscailte do héigréineach.(Sit beside her. Let your broken heart be open to her infinite care.)

She reaches out and places her hands upon your shoulders. Feel her touch—soft yet powerful, filling you with a sense of calm and wholeness. She whispers:

Bíodh misneach agat. Níl tú leat féin. Glacfaimid leis an mbriseadh agus tabharfaimid leighis.(Have courage. You are not alone. We will embrace the brokenness and bring healing.)

With each breath, imagine her energy flowing into you, knitting together the torn pieces of your soul and planting seeds of hope for the future.

Mother of the Earth, we call upon you now.Bless us with your unending love.Help us to heal the wounds of grief and sorrow.Guide us to find strength in our connection to you and to one another.

Tabhair leighis do na croíthe briste. Tabhair solas do na croíthe dorcha.(Bring healing to broken hearts. Bring light to darkened spirits.)

As we prepare to leave this meditation, let us carry the blessings of the Mother with us. Feel her strength in the ground beneath your feet and her love in the air around you. Let her wisdom guide your steps as you move forward into the new year.

Go dtuga an Mháthair na Cruinne sláinte, suaimhneas, agus cumhacht duit.(May the Mother of the Earth grant you health, peace, and strength.)

Know that even in the face of loss, you are never alone. The Earth holds you, the Mother blesses you, and life’s eternal cycle carries you ever onward.

Beir bua agus beannacht!(Bring victory and blessings!)
