Litha Countdown: Nature Meditation

If you do nothing else during the Litha season, try to get outside, alone, for a while. If you're in the northern hemisphere right now, the weather's good, the forests and flowers are full of life, and it's a wonderful time of year to remind us why we chose an earth- or nature-based path.

The Song of Amergin is believed to be the oldest poem in the Irish language. Poets and bards enjoyed high status in early Celtic society, and Amergin's song (which is actually a collection of several pieces) reflects that hierarchy, as well as some of the core beliefs held by the Druids and their people. Lady Gregory's translation of this song is the basis for a meditation that will help you reconnect with the natural world around you: Nature Meditation

To perform this meditation, begin by choosing a place far from the crowds. Go someplace where no one will bother you -- not even the people you love -- and get back in touch with the earth, the wind, the sun, and the sky.
