The Powerful Practice Of Sky Gazing

When your mind feels frantic or frazzled, try sky gazing. In this talk, Cara explains how to open your mind with a simple micro-practice called sky gazing. Not only does sky gazing offer us a glimpse into our natural sense of clarity, this practice also invokes a sense of awe. According to studies at UC Berkeley, experiencing awe expands our perception of time and enhances our sense of wellbeing. When you’re feeling fixed and closed, take a few minutes to open your mind. Try sky gazing out a window or, better yet, get outside. This micro-practice can be done day or night. Listen to the end for a short, guided practice led by Cara.

Great talk. I’ve been sky gazing since I was a small child and can remember the joy and peace it brought me. I continue enjoying this practice. I love to observe the passing of the clouds. It brings me back to the present and grateful for all that I have around me. Thanks for your insights about this micro practice.🙏🏽

Such a lovely and easy practice, will use often with a smile on
my face to remember how precious this life is!! 🌸🙏

The sky has always been a fixation and awesome thing for me...now another helpful tool for me...thank you!

Tickled to have a name to put on something I already enjoy doing! Thank you

So beautiful & helpful. Thank you!

Sky gazing what a wonderful practice every morning and throughout the day and most every evening I have always looked in all up towards the sky thank you for this gift I will now skygaze and meditation

Found this to be a confirmation in what i was intuitively led to be guided by in my own life. In awe of the early morning sky as the stars still shown brightly. Seeing venus in the east and last week mars near the 1/2 moon at night while i was gazing at our vast universe. Thank you for your articulation in what we would all benefit from every day and/or night. 🌷

I really loved this. I have always been fascinated with the sky and I’m fortunate to live in a part of the world where we are frequently treated to exquisite sky scenes. Still, I never knew this was an actual practice and I am most grateful for the reminder to use this as a form of micro practice. I need this now more than ever! 🙏🏻

Awe inspiring:) Look at the sky more often and a little different now.

so that’s the fundamental force/flow within nature... and that constitutes our deep deep love of Earth/Nature... i see it! i feel it! and even and especially all that is the Cosmos... beyond... you have just gifted us with no less than Interconnectivity and Infinity... stargazing, skygazing where one is instantly outside themselves !!!

thank you so much... i love your voice your guidance your achieved balance

Very interesting talk on one of my favorite activities. Thank you. 🙏🏽

This is something I do on a daily basis, but it was so nice listening to this and hearing about the benefits and how it can truly change a busy and hectic day....just by stopping and appreciating a few moments with nature, gazing at the sky. Thank you!
