Heal: A Candle Meditation

Editor’s note: This is a candle meditation and centering practice. If you can, light a candle and place it in front of you. Sit with the candle and its flame for a few minutes becoming aware of your breath and the flame and your connection to it. Then, read these lines slowly outloud to yourself. If you cannot light a candle, close your eyes and light an imaginary one.

I still,

I fill,

I will My Soul,

I concentrate upon the Whole.

The candle’s glow,

Desire to Know,

The flicker/focus ebb and flow.

Flicker, Quicker, magic spell

Harm me not,

Health fill my well.

Blending, Bending, mend my skin,

Cool the fever that

Dwells within.

I hunger for The One to take me higher,

Pulse magic into mind-transforming feat,

Divinity delineates The Power,

Creator and creation journey-meet.

I hunger for the God and Goddess blessing,

Almighty Father lead me to The Day,

Great Mother bathe me in Your vision’s healing,

Unite my tri-part soul in Heaven’s Way.

I hunger for the knowledge locked inside me,

Forgotten in the troubles of the night,

The bounty of the harvest is upon me,

I revel in the nourishment of light.
