Stand beside the ancient mound of Brú na Bóinne as winter twilight gathers, where stone spirals have watched the returning sun for five thousand years. This meditation explores Aengus Óg—not through romance or drama, but through the patient cycles of renewal found in aligned stones, shifting seasons, and light entering darkness at exactly the right moment.

Through slow breathing and the enduring presence of Newgrange, discover the clarity that comes not from force but from recognition—seeing what calls to you and moving toward it with steadiness. Let Aengus's claim of the Brú "for a day and a night," his transformation among swans, and the chamber's precise solar alignment teach you about timing, focus, and the quiet arrival of new beginnings.

Perfect for: Seeking renewal when energy feels depleted • Recognizing what's ready to begin again • Finding clarity through natural cycles rather than forced change

Historical context: Brú na Bóinne (Newgrange), early Irish tales of Aengus Óg from the Mythological Cycle, winter solstice alignment, the symbolism of swans in Irish tradition, the River Boyne (Boann) mythology, láa ocus aidche wordplay in medieval texts

Running time: ~8 minutes
