THE
AVALON MEDITATIONS - Magical Journeys to the Isles
of the Blessed
by Mara Freeman
(with music by Gerry Smida)
Avalon
is the Inner Temple of the Mysteries of Britain,
a landscape of the soul, a country of the heart.
It is the land which the poet and mystic see in
vision, where the artist and musician find inspiration;
where the soul goes for spiritual refreshment: an
ageless land that offers initiation and enlightenment
to all those who set sail for her shores.
These
four Vision Journey meditations, set to the haunting
music of Celtic harp and zither, will open the ‘magic
casements’ of the mind, guiding you to this
hidden realm of timeless beauty and wisdom where
you may contact a deep source of magic, healing
and power.

CELTIC
SPIRIT MEDITATIONS
by Mara Freeman
This beautifully packaged CD of six meditations
will bring the ancient wisdom of the Celts into
your life to enrich both your inner and outer world.
Guided visualizations, set to the
exquisite music of harp, flute, keyboards, zither
and other traditional instruments, will take you
into the Celtic Dreamtime, a world-between-the-worlds
where you can explore the inner landscape of the
Celtic spirits. Here you will meet the Shining Ones:
Celtic gods and goddesses including Brigit of the
Flame and Morgen of Avalon, plus other guides and
ancestors from whom you will receive guidance and
support for the journey of your soul.
The meditations are selected
from the book "Kindling the Celtic Spirit"
by Mara Freeman (HarperSanFrancisco, Dec. 2000),
but they can be used without reference to the book.
If you are experienced with inner journeys, you
can use the meditations as starting-points to travel. |
