Nature-Based Meditations
Our Mindful Nature explores the deep connection between the land and Self through nature-based meditations that invite us back into belonging - to each other, our ancestors, the earth, and all beings that make up this universe.
This podcast features interviews, guided meditations, and collaborations with some of the top nature field recordists of our time. Each episode is created with the goal of fostering connection and resilience in the face of climate crisis. You can expect classes centered on accessible, equitable, communal well-being primarily through nature-based meditations created through the lens of Tantric meditation and Spiritual Ecology.
Now, let’s grab a cup of tea, a comfy seat and settle in for today’s practice.
Listen
Mini Meditation: Full Moon Meditation
Join me in this mini meditation encompassing the 3 components of a mindful meditation practice and satiating the hungry wolf within.
Meditation & The Moon {full moon}
Join me for today’s episode of The Mindful Minute as we discuss the full moon and its implications for our meditation practice. As always, we will finish with a 20-minute guided meditation.
Mini Meditation: Waxing Moon Meditation
We add light and awareness to our meditation practice, when we relinquish all judgment.
What happens when we stop telling ourselves we are wrong?
That we are something to fix?
What happens when we are curious instead?
When we stop saying no; when we soften the armour around what we can’t feel or won’t feel, is it possible that there is wisdom waiting for us?
Join me for today’s mini-meditation as we relish the added light of non-judgment.
Meditation & The Moon {waxing moon}
This week, the moon is waxing. She is adding a sliver of light every night. We also see this experience mirrored in our meditation practice.
Join me for today’s discussion on the waxing moon and non-judgment; I share a real life example of this tool being incredibly useful in my own eco-anxiety fears, and then we will share in a 20-minute guided meditation practice.
Mini Meditation: New Moon Meditation
The new moon happens each lunar cycle; it is the time when the moon is completely dark. The new moon reminds us that the moon itself doesn’t possess any light. The light we so love and celebrate is a reflection, an illumination from a perpetually radiant source of light- the sun.
This is quite true of our meditation practice as well. It isn’t “meditation” - the type, style, name or duration - that is the magic. Rather, the practice simply reflects or illuminates our innermost, perpetually radiant self.
The practice of meditation allows us to witness the inner workings of our own minds.
Meditation & The Moon {new moon}
This first meditation series of 2022 is a refresher course on the basics of meditation tied to the phases of the moon. Perfect for those of us that need a little boost, a little depth, or just a breath of fresh air in our practice!
In this episode, we start with the new moon, which just happened on January 2. This is the time when the moon is completely dark. The new moon reminds us that the moon itself doesn’t possess any light. The light we so love and celebrate is a reflection, an illumination from a perpetually radiant source of light.
This is quite true of our meditation practice as well. It isn’t “meditation” - the type, style, name or duration - that is the magic. Rather, the practice simply reflects or illuminates our innermost, perpetually radiant self.
Join me for this all new meditation series as we kickstart our meditation practice for 2022.
Mini Meditation: Honor The Mystery
In today’s mini meditation we explore and honor the Mystery. The unknown forces that cause some moments to feel particularly chaotic or overwhelming and the unknown forces that tip us back into periods of calm.
From Chaos to Calm {part 3}
In today’s class we explore and honor the Mystery. The unknown forces that cause some moments to feel particularly chaotic or overwhelming and the unknown forces that tip us back into periods of calm.
Join me for one last meditation class in 2021 as we honor the mystery, celebrate the solstice and calm the chaos.
