Sleipnir Meditation

Begin by finding a quiet area where you will not be disturbed. Sit in a comfortable position and light the incense. Spend a few moments focusing on nothing but the incense, allowing yourself to calm. Now would be the opputune time to have the drum beats start. Having a CD playing would be the easiest, so there would be less to distract your attention. The ideal beat is called Sleipnir: it should be eight beats in a row, matching the sound of horse hooves.

As the beat plays, close your eyes. Focus on nothing but the sound of the beating. Let go of everything else, and your awareness. Begin to visualize Sleipnir, galloping along the lines of Wyrd or along the roots of Yggdrasil. As Sleipnir moves, allow your awareness to move with him. This is a great way to get into trance work or faring forth.

Feel energy coming off the roots of Yggdrasil and into you with every step Sleipnir takes. Allow the feeling of the energy to move along your body, starting at your toes and working its way up. When you feel full of energy- stop the meditation in the same way you started.
