“We are all related.” and “All my relations.” These statements of ancient wisdom-compassion from Native People honor all beings including Tree People, Stone Beings, Wind and Rain Beings. They are statements of deep respect.

In addition to honoring our relatives and the relationships we have with all beings, this meditation invites us to reflect upon the relations that are within. Gravity is a relationship. Breathing is a relationship. Thinking, feeling, perception are all relationships. Our thoughts are our relatives. Habits of consciousness, too.

We expand consideration of relative with this meditation.
