The Weather Station

This is a Nature Connection practice, but is a great alternative to a mindfulness body scan. The intention of this practice is to use your body, especially your senses, a bit like an instrument for gauging the weather. I used to work on a farm and it would amaze me how the woman I worked with could tell what the weather was going to do in the near future with surprising accuracy. At the time it seemed a bit like a superpower, but I have come to understand that we all have this ability but are often out of touch with it. Just by being more aware of our bodies and the world around us and becoming more familiar with weather patterns that are associated with these experiences, we can tap into a superpower of our own. You can try this practice indoors, but obviously, it is one you will benefit from most by trying it either from an open window or, better still, outdoors.
