Entering the Heart Cave of the Great Mother

A Guided Meditation Journey for Yule

Yule, the Winter Solstice, is a powerful time to journey in to the magic and mystery, to receive wisdom and guidance from beyond the veils. This guided meditation journey for Yule harnesses the stillness of the longest night, inviting you to take time for deep rest, reflection, and renewal. 

It is dusk in the forest as you follow a track that leads down into the heart cave of the great mother. Night creatures are beginning to stir. The first stars are awakening in the twilight. The veils that lie between you and the great mystery are thin.

Take time to soak in the peace and inner nourishment. This truly is the necessary interlude to replenish yourself in the quiet winter healing magic, to receive guidance for this time of the cycle, or the next steps on your journey.

Yule is traditionally a time for us to take the opportunity to reflect back over the year, perhaps re-energising intentions whilst simultaneously letting go of the old to create space for the rebirth to come.

You can do this journey at any time, however, we highly recommend listening on the actual Winter Solstice if possible.

Things you’ll need

• Cacao made the way you love
• A candle + lighter
• Your journal and a pen
• You may want headphones for the inner journey

Set Up

1. Carve out some spaciousness for your guided meditation journey, and find a safe place where you won’t be interrupted. You may want to lie down for the inner journey, so ensure you have enough space and anything you will need to be super comfortable.
2. Begin by preparing your cacao in the way you love.
3. Then, light your candle, welcoming your inner light and mindfully begin to drink your cacao. Hold the intention that you are going on a journey to receive guidance and wisdom from the dark.
4. Once you’ve finished the cacao, stay seated or lie down and prepare for the inner journey. Use headphones to block out any external noises if you prefer.
5. When you are comfortable, play the recording and open to receive.
6. Take some time once you’ve returned to journal any insights or reflections you were gifted.
