- On a clear day take one St John's wort leaf from a safe gather or recall a photo of a leaf with dots.
- Look toward sun or lamp and notice tiny translucent glands as the plant's story.
- Write one sentence: what did seeing through mean for you today.
- Return the leaf to nature or set it aside — do not promise yourself a therapeutic effect from this alone.
Safety and limits
St John's wort can interact with medicines and increase photosensitivity — outdoors follow usual sun protection; this guide is not advice for supplements or tinctures.
