The Natural Refuge Tree

Refuge meditation is a traditional Buddhist practice of connecting to benevolent presences as a way to establish a sense of joy, love and safety at the beginning of every meditation practice. It is traditionally done in the morning as a way of setting the tone for the day. When repeated over the course of many days (or years), it helps a meditation practitioner develop a deep sense of joy at the start of mindfulness practice, and self-compassion overall. At first, the practitioner learns to receive love, but over time, the practitioner begins to experience him or herself as worthy of love.
