In the quiet moments of reflection, when the noise of the world fades, there is a gentle truth waiting to be rediscovered: the light within you. It is a light not born of external achievements or fleeting circumstances but of divine essence, woven into the very fabric of your being.
Celtic Christianity often speaks of “anam cara,” the soul friend—a deep, spiritual companionship that reminds us we are never truly alone. This light within is, perhaps, our first and most faithful soul friend. It is the whisper of the Divine, guiding us through the twists and turns of life, offering hope when the path grows dim and courage when the journey feels steep.
Illuminating the Shadows
Life often presents moments of uncertainty—times when we feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of our direction. Yet, the Celtic tradition teaches us to embrace the shadows, not as threats, but as opportunities to see the light more clearly. It is in the darkness that even the faintest flicker becomes a beacon.
When we pause and recognize that this light is not earned but gifted, we begin to trust its presence. It is a reflection of God’s love—a love that is unconditional, ever-present, and transforming.
Sharing the Light
As we journey through life, this light is not just for us; it is meant to be shared. In the Celtic worldview, there is no separation between the sacred and the everyday. Every act of kindness, every moment of connection, becomes a way to carry and spread this light.
When you share your inner radiance—through a smile, a word of encouragement, or simply your presence—you remind others of their own. Like candles lighting one another, your spark ignites a chain of illumination that transforms the ordinary into the sacred.
A Journey of Light and Connection
This week, I’ve created a video, The Light That Guides You, as a reflection on these themes. It’s an invitation to reconnect with your inner light, to trust its guidance, and to share its warmth with the world.
The video blends the quiet wisdom of the Celtic tradition with the transformative power of changework, offering a moment of stillness and inspiration. It’s a gentle reminder that even the smallest light can dispel the greatest darkness.
Reflect and Shine
As you watch the video, consider:
- When was the last time you felt your inner light guiding you?
- How might you share that light with someone in need this week?
- What small act of kindness or courage could reignite your spark?
Let’s journey together in the light, trusting that it will guide us, connect us, and bring us closer to the divine love that surrounds us all.
✨Watch this short video and let me know your thoughts. How is your light shining today? 🌿
In the words of St. Brigid: “May the light of your soul guide you. May it bring you courage and compassion, and may it illuminate the path for others to follow.”
