Memories of meditations at An Tobar

Snippets from our Meditation Diary

Our meditations are led by regular attendees, each bringing their own methods and practices of traditional and modern meditation to the evening. This results in many different experiences, with each week being unique.

• Grieg's music welcomed us into the Oratory, a lamp shone in the centre beside a flask of water, all on a purple cloth. We stood and relaxed from head to toe. The guided visualisation led us to the well at An Tobar, then we descended via a ladder into a chamber of green light and a still mirror-like central pool. We sat beside the water in silent meditation...

• Everyone brought hard-boiled eggs. In the centre was an empty basket, 3 chocolate eggs, a fluffy rabbit, a candle, angel cards and daffodils. We held our eggs and put our intentions for the coming year into them. Then we decorated them with colouring pens...

• We imaged a fountain at the bottom of Flower Hill in Navan flowing with harmony and peace. This energy spread over the town, road by road, then out over the surrounding countryside, Ireland, in all directions over the world...

• Removing the Blocks to the Divine: This meddy had us navigate the things in our lives that we can't exist without, the chocolate, the crystals, the profit. the pain, the things we disfunctionally glorify. They can be blocks to our true divine nature. These are simply sign posts or stepping stones, they are not the eternal.

We have also meditated on.... mindful walking, the door to our hearts, sitting in silence, Ireland using Amergin's Invocation, our inner child, chakras and colours, physical changes when meditating, hemisynch brain balancing, crystals, experiencing energy with water, colour and lengthening our arms (yes, really!)
