Ullachadh don Talamh is don Speur
Preparation for Earth and Sky
Stand or sit where you can feel the wind on your skin. If possible, position yourself on a hill or open space. If indoors, open a window slightly to let the air flow freely. Burn sage or pine needles if available, watching the smoke dance with the air currents.

Thought for the Soul
How can we become more conscious of our relationship with the air we share? What changes can we make in our daily lives to help the Earth Mother purify our skies?
Remember: Each breath we take is a sacred exchange with the Earth Mother. As we help heal her air, we heal ourselves, for we are all part of her great respiratory system.
