Audio - Solstice Stillness: Mist, Memory, and a Dawn Meditation
Audio version - for Ambient background find the companion episode "Audio with Music / Solstice Stillness: Mist, Memory, and a Dawn Meditation" https://ThisMagicalLife.podbean.com/e/am-solstice-stillness
Philip reflects on the solstice as a pause in the yearly cycle, noting the shared “sun standing still” meaning of solstice and describing a shift of energy: from winter to summer as increasing focus and growth, and from summer to winter as dispersion, generosity, and letting go. On a cold, rainy day with coastal mist, they consider embracing uncertainty and liminality, linking mist to Celtic imagery and the unconscious.
Philip reads Pablo Neruda’s poem “Births,” exploring how we record details of life yet retain little memory of birth or death. A guided meditation follows for a global group, imagining gathering before dawn on Glastonbury Tor in a sea of mist, breathing with gentle pauses, receiving sunlight into the heart, offering blessings for peace and protection of nature, and concluding with advice on breath pauses and a solstice greeting for Alban Hefin.
