Meditation: May 8, 2025

"The boundaries we perceive between worlds are but momentary veils; the hawk knows this as it rides between earth and sky, the salmon as it travels between river and sea, and the hazel as its roots drink from underground streams while its branches capture starlight."

Physical Setting & Preparation

Seek a threshold place—where field meets forest, where land meets water, or where one type of landscape transitions to another. If such a natural boundary is not accessible, create a symbolic threshold in your space by placing stones in a line or laying down a branch to represent crossing between realms. Bring a small mirror to reflect the sky during your practice. Remove footwear and stand barefoot on the earth. Before beginning, face each of the four directions in turn, pausing to acknowledge each one with a slight bow. Finally, turn your face upward to acknowledge the sky, then downward to acknowledge the earth.
