Meditation, By Maria Wulf

_______

Every morning, I meditate for an hour.   Sometimes I sit under the apple tree in the yard, or on the back porch if it’s raining.

Just as often, I take a walk or sit on a rock or fallen tree in the woods. It is in the woods that I find myself most easily. I always come back with a calmer body and quieter mind.

My Woodland Meditation Potholders are about the joys and benefits of meditating in nature.

Looking at the girl under the mushroom, wildflower, or blade of grass with a snail on it (a reminder to slow down), I can wander in my mind to the calm and peacefulness that I find among those beings who grow in the woods.

I hope they can help take you to a calm and peaceful place, too. Even as you use one to pull dinner out of the oven, or a pot off the stove.   That is the beauty of functional art: to actually use it in the things we do in our everyday lives.

(My Woodland Meditation Potholders are $32 each + $6 shipping for one or more.  You can see them all in my Etsy Shop, just click here.
