Reconnecting to your Natural Self

Description
This is a 25 minute Nature-inspired meditation, based on a personal practice of mine that always brings me into greater remembering and reconnection with my place on Earth. I’ve taken company with some of the oldest living beings on the Earth this week, the great old-growth redwoods in Humboldt County. I have stood stunned and silent as their colossal lives extend along fault lines and timelines I can barely comprehend – and yet – reveling in the knowing that their lives are inherently linked to my own. I wondered if there was a way to share this perspective, this sense of belonging to a wider community of life, with others. Especially during a time of social isolation and distancing, we should strive to remember how we are always connected to each other through and within the beyond-human world. I hope that you’ll accept and sink into this invitation, to take a moment in your day to breathe, to release, to relax into the Earth’s body, to find Nature as a source of comfort and inspiration, and to become aware of this particular springtime season of our lives. Ideally you would find a place outside, no matter how small, to participate in this practice. At the end, I’ll offer a way for you to move into the land and come into conversation with the world. It can also be done indoors and I offer ways for this. If you feel called, please share below what comes up for you in your experience, to be witnessed and witness in turn, a collective sharing of soulful rekindling and kinship.
