(This is a meditation I wrote for my Druid Grove's Alban Eiler ceremony right before these words are spoke by the ritual leader hard boiled eggs are handed to each person. Try the meditation out it is a nice feeling meditation that really can help open your mind.)

Thank you for these gifts. Let us now take the time to quiet ourselves.

Let us close our eyes. Become aware of your breathing. In and out, the air cooling as it goes in, In and Out, the air gently warmed as it goes out.

Let us take this time to feel the egg in our hand, to see it with our mind’s eye and attempt to unravel its meaning. Feel your consciousness being drawn within the egg.

Safe, Secure, in darkness yet fully sustained.

Now feel yourself growing, your consciousness in the egg growing. Getting larger cramped yet still safe and secure.

Finally you break free from the shell and for the first time see the light. It is bright and may hurt your eyes but is still stunningly beautiful and warm. Though out of the safety of your shell you now are free to grow and see.

Take a moment to ponder the egg’s meaning, the egg’s message, and what special meaning it may have for you.

When you are ready become aware of yourself here and now and open your eyes.

(Now is a time to discuss our thoughts from the meditation and either ponder the eggs further or eat them if you wish to impart their gift in that way.)
