Folklore Stories of the Irish landscape

Welcome to this guided meditation, there are as many ways to meditate as there are people in the world, what works for you works for you. For me the natural world and how we exist within it are universally connected, we are part of the universe and it is part of us. walk with me as you are guided through this meditation listening to my voice "Martin Matthews" allow yourself to move gently and deliberately through your own natural universe, accessing that, sense of calm we all have within. There is no right way or wrong way to partake in this meditation there is only your way. If people have questions or observations please feel free to contact me by email and I will endeavor to respond.  Mrtnmatthews@gmail.com

Natural resources people and stone have their uses while there is a demand. Land scape is a definite history of where we have come from not necessarily a map of where we going.

Changes in the landscape are a representation of the changes in our way of life, the only permeance in either is the awareness of impermanence.  

Observing with curiosity the fields and country side  we walk in. will invariably lead us to many questions, but, few answers. In this episode, I am looking at the phenomenon of a pond known as the sweat pond. A story told with a very dim memory of, a long forgotten local knowledge. However with a little bit of research sweat huts and sweat ponds it appears have been a feature in Ireland for centuries. stories dismissed as folklore and  fairy tales can and do have an element of truth.
