Crossing well: Threshold Moments
Pause at a weathered doorway just before dawn, where one room ends and another begins, and your hand rests on the lintel. This meditation explores threshold moments—not through grand transitions, but through the attention that changes what follows when you cross from one condition to another.
Through slow breathing and the exact line where floor meets step, discover clarity that forms not through rushing forward or turning back but through pausing at the sill. Let Ireland's practices around thresholds—Brigid's cross above the door, the solstice beam at Newgrange, the thin times of Samhain and Bealtaine, the cave of Oweynagat at Rathcroghan, and monastic teachings about pausing at the cell door—teach you about crossing well, the moral dimension of passage, and making transitions in attention rather than distraction.
Perfect for: Navigating transitions with intention rather than haste • Discerning what to carry forward and what to leave behind • Marking small daily thresholds with awareness
Historical context: Threshold practices in Irish tradition, Brigid's cross (Cros Bríde) at doorways, winter solstice alignment at Brú na Bóinne (Newgrange), Samhain and Bealtaine as threshold times, Oweynagat cave at Rathcroghan in County Roscommon, monastic practices of pausing at doorways, early Irish hospitality laws and the duties of threshold-crossing
Running time: ~9 minutes
