Diana Paxson, in her book, Trance-portation offered a “meditation” that was designed to provide balance:
Before me,
Beside me,
Behind me,
Beside me,
Over me,
Below me,
Within me,
Around me…
I thought this was a very interesting idea, and while a bit “wiccan” in its feel it does seem to have a purpose, even within the heathen traditions. However I wanted to give it a more heathen flavor to it:
Before me I see my path and the web of the wyrd,
To my right are choices I may make,
Behind me is my past, and that which brought me here,
To my left are choices I may make,
Above me is the sun that warms me,
Below me is the ground that steadies my feet,
Within me I experience the moment,
Around me is that which is coming into being.
