Hello loves.
Welcome to this connecting with nature meditation.
I was inspired to actually record this out in nature.
If you can listen to it outside,
That's amazing,
But if not,
You can create the feeling of being in nature in your own mind and heart.
If you can be naked outside,
Even better,
But this meditation will work wherever and whenever you are.
So just take a moment to settle into your body.
Get in the most comfortable position you can find.
If you're comfortable sitting up straight,
Forming a straight line from your sit bones to the crown of your head,
It's an amazing and wonderful and intuitive position to meditate in.
Creating the physical symbol of a perfect channel between the endless love and nourishment of Mother Earth and the eternal love and devotion of the divine.
Let's take three breaths together and with each breath,
Bring yourself more and more fully into your heart,
Into the center of your amazing body,
Into this present moment.
First breath in.
And release.
Next breath in.
And release.
The third and final deep breath in.
And take a moment to settle into your body and if you're not outside,
Bring to mind the perfect place.
Maybe you love the beach and the sound of the surf.
Maybe you love the mountains and the sound of the breeze through the trees and the singing of birds or maybe you love to sip you side of rushing waterfall.
Whatever your ideal experience of nature is,
Bring that to mind and imagine yourself settling in.
Bring your bottom onto Mother Earth,
Forging a strong and unbreakable connection between this source of all nourishment,
All life.
Everything that has to do with this human experience comes from Mother Earth.
Feel that grounding.
Feel yourself being fully present,
Merged with and nourished by Mother Earth.
Just imagine that energy seeping up from wherever you're touching the earth,
Into your belly,
Into your torso,
Into your heart,
Your shoulders,
Your hands,
Your head.
Take some breaths and imagine your heart expanding and softening and making room for more and more energy,
More and more connection.
And then finally imagine that the top of your head is so open,
So connected to the divine.
That you and the eternal energy of your maker,
Of Mother Earth,
This miraculous human body you're in,
Are all connected.
You are part of all.
You are a conduit for all.
Now bring to mind the element of air.
Imagine the manifestation and the feeling and the presence of air in the place that you are.
Always the miracle of breath.
The amazing relationship between air and your body.
Your body knows exactly what to do with each breath and how to use it to nourish your body.
Imagine a soft breeze on your face or a mighty wind.
Imagine the sound of the wind through the trees.
Feel the feeling of air on your bare skin,
On your face.
Soak in the wonder of being a part of this amazing human experience and the beautiful part that the element of air plays in every moment.
Just allow yourself to appreciate and be one with air.
Now imagine the spirit of fire.
For me,
That's the sunlight on my face,
So bright,
So warm,
So nourishing.
I can imagine the miracle of the sun prompting my body to make vitamin D and feel the warm glow of the sun on my face and on my skin.
Maybe your perfect connection with nature is outside by a fire,
An actual sacred fire.
Let yourself settle into the feeling of warm sunlight,
Blazing fires.
Maybe the sound of birds or the sight of the sunlight glistening on the ocean.
Feel the wonder.
Feel the connection.
Feel the eternalness of the sun and fire and the power.
Be one with that feeling.
Feel the gratitude of this amazing element of fire.
Now bring your attention to the element of water.
It's represented by the west.
Maybe you're near a flowing stream like I am or maybe you're right beside one.
Maybe you are seated on the beach with the crash of the waves and the endless possibilities,
The beautiful ocean.
Maybe you're beside a roaring waterfall.
No matter where you are,
Your body is mostly made up of water.
The element of water is always present,
Always a miracle.
Present in the moistness of your expelled breath,
Your tears,
Your sweat.
Miracle of water is always present in your amazing body and always present in nature.
Just let yourself feel and appreciate and be connected with and be grateful for the water that is present in nature and in you.
Maybe the sound of birds,
Their bodies are mostly water too.
Or bees,
Humming of insects.
My dog is right beside me.
I feel so grateful for her calm presence.
She is mostly made of water too.
We're finally coming back to the element of earth,
Back to where we started.
This magic that is supporting you and a part of you in every moment with no exceptions.
This connecting,
Loving force that is always supporting us,
Always nurturing and nourishing us in all of our phases.
Now feel the presence of spirit in every atom,
In every experience.
From the grounding and supporting of Mother Earth to the miracle of breath and breezes and wind,
The warmth of the sun in a fire,
The magic of water.
Feel how spirit infuses every atom of all of these elements and every atom of you.
A remarkable thinking,
Creating being that you are.
Just relax into the wonder and eternalness and power of nature all around and within.
Just let this magical feeling infuse every cell of your body and make it your intention to bring this feeling,
Bring this spirit of connection into your life,
Into every moment of your day.
Let's take our last three breaths together to just cement this feeling into every ounce of your being.
Cement your intention to live as many moments as possible in this space of perfect freedom,
Perfect confidence,
Perfect connection.
Next breath in all the way into your belly.
Release everything that isn't in support of this magic.
Next breath in.
Release.
The third magical deep breath in.
Release.
I love you so much.
I'm so grateful for this time with you.
This recording that's out of space and time and arriving to you at the perfect moment for you,
No matter when that is,
No matter how many times,
I hope that you can revisit these moments of perfect connection,
Perfect gratitude,
Perfect support.
I wish you joy and happiness and health and freedom.
Namaste.
