Embracing Excitement in Spring's Approach

Physical Setting & Preparation

Find a place where you can sit comfortably, preferably where you can see or sense the outside world—near a window or outdoors if weather permits. Place before you something green and growing—a potted plant, fresh herbs, or even a small branch with swelling buds. Add a small dish of seeds and a cup of fresh water. If possible, include a bell or chime. Sit with your spine straight but relaxed, allowing energy to flow freely through your body. Rest your hands palms up on your knees in a gesture of receptivity. Take thirteen rhythmic breaths—one for each day that has passed in this month—feeling each inhale energize you and each exhale ground you.

Opening Invocation | Fosgladh

Air an treas latha deug den Mhàrt,
Eadar geamhradh a' crìonadh,
Agus earrach a' briseadh,
Tha mi a' faireachdainn gluasad luath mo chridhe.
A Mhàthair na talmhainn, cruthaich slighe do m' bheo-eòlas.

On this thirteenth day of March,
Between winter waning,
