This week: daffodil.

Jeff Lilly is a druid, linguist, and author of one of the most popular druid blogs, much to his surprise. He writes about druid things -- meditation, relationship with Spirit, soulful fulfillment in scholarship and art, reconnecting the ancient with the modern, creating beauty, and healing the world. He is a member of a number of druid organizations, including AODA, OWO, and OBOD, and does ritual rather ineptly but earnestly in the Pittsburgh, PA area with the Sycamore Circle. He lives with his partner Ali and her cat Cu.

Announcing Druid Journal Meditation Blog

A few weeks ago I posted a free downloadable audio guided meditation called Meet a Guide. The response has been enthusiastic — I’ve had some great feedback, and my bandwidth usage has doubled since it went up, so I know many people have downloaded it, and continue to do so.

So I decided to provide more downloadable meditations. In fact, I want to make a great many — one every couple of weeks at first, and maybe once a week eventually. However, I don’t want Druid Journal’s posts to become cluttered with all these meditations. At the same time, I’d like those who are interested in them to be able to subscribe to a feed or email notifications whenever I make a new one available.

So I’ve started a new blog: Druid Journal Meditation. Bop on over and check it out! I’ve added a new meditation already, which is intended to help release fear and unhealthy attachments.

Now, these new meditations will not be free, since it does take considerable time to create them, but I have made them as cheap as I can — $5 each — so that the price should not be a barrier to anyone. In any case, the free sample meditation I’ve offered (the same one I posted on this site in early June) is a general purpose meditation that, with practice, can help you solve any problem, by invoking the guide you need to help you.

You can subscribe to the site via feed reader or email subscription. If you have a site of your own, you can also join my affiliate program; I offer a 50% share of the revenue.

Please feel free to leave comments, suggestions, questions, and any other feedback! It is all valuable and dear to me.

Thank you! And enjoy!

  • All the best for your new blog!

    Will it be a download only thing only, or will you be posting advice and stuff like that as well?

  • Jeff Lilly

    Thanks, Mahud! I will definitely be posting advice and stuff, both as blog posts and articles. If you have particular questions, don’t hesitate to ask — they’ll probably provide me with post seeds!

  • I’ve subscribed :D

    One thing I have problems with, following your Meet a Guide (Which is excellent BTW, really well done), is focusing on your voice, the visualization, and my body all at the same time. I find the descent down the steps to the beach quite hard. Mastering this probably will take a bit of practice for me, as I’m very new to it all.

    Mahud, practice will definitely help. But I would advise not worrying too much about keeping everything in your mind at once. After all, think about your regular alert waking mind as you walk down steps to the beach: your attention flits from your body, to the sound of the ocean, to the sights you’re seeing, to the person you’re talking to, flit-flit-flit, in sequence — not all at once. Similarly in the meditation, allow your thoughts to move from one to another in sequence. Follow my instructions — when I describe the ocean, think of that; when I describe warmth in your body, think of that.

    I hope that helps! And thanks for the great feedback!
