Whisper Prayer: Night Blessing Of The Elements
A simple, one-minute Celtic-inspired night prayer to gently close your day. This whisper-sized blessing calls on the four sacred elements — Earth, Air, Fire, and Water — to bring calm, comfort, and rest. Perfect for bedtime, or any quiet moment when you long to feel held, grounded, and at peace. The final phrase 'sin a bhfuil' is an ancient Irish phrase which translates to 'that's what it is', and is a beautiful way of offering both surrender and thanks as we allow ourselves we deepen our understanding that we are both part of, and held by the cosmos. Everything is sacred, and we are part of the vast whole.
Deep Peace - An Ancient Celtic Blessing
The origins of the phrase Deep Peace and this ancient blessing reach far back into ancient Celtic Spirituality. Deep peace of the running wave to you is a phrase from a Gaelic blessing, a traditional prayer form, that invokes a profound sense of calm and well-being. The "running wave" symbolises the constant movement and flow of life, while "deep peace" represents a state of tranquility and serenity. Perfect for our busy 21st-century lives. I invite you to let these words and the soothing music from the Wakes (you will find their beautiful live sound baths here on IT) simply wash over you as they invite you home to your own inner calm.
Held By The Ancient Oak & Sacred Well: Deep Yoga Nidra
Rest deeply under the protective branches of the ancient oak and beside the clear healing waters of the sacred well. In Celtic spirituality, the oak offers grounding strength while the well brings clarity and renewal. This long Yoga Nidra guides you through body relaxation, breath awareness, chakra imagery, and soothing nature visualisations to release tension, calm anxiety, and restore your inner balance.
A personal mini retreat, if you like, ideal for times when you need to feel safe, nourished, and deeply connected to earth wisdom. My wish for you is that you can take some time apart and settle in. Towards the end of the practice, you are invited to let the beautiful chant, the sacred Gaelic chant used in this recording, be with the permission of Céile Dé, an esoteric Celtic path of spiritual awakening. Called A Hu Thi - The Great Mystery unfolding. Lean in and know that you, too, are part of the great cosmic unfolding.
