Listening Deeply To Nature - by Pasha Lyndi

COURSE

Listening Deeply To Nature

With Pasha Lyndi

How can we connect more deeply to our true nature? To feel more a part of the nature outside, and to understand better the nature inside? How can we listen more deeply to ourselves - to listen with our senses, our hearts - to the earth and to our purpose for being in this planet? Imagine spending time listening to the birds and feeling the breeze, loving nature and feeling loved by it. In this course, we will allow earth-based meditations to open our senses. We will find our own special place in nature and appreciate how generously this earth supports us; how we breathe with the trees and how we can let the stream of thoughts naturally flow, and take shelter when the emotional weather is stormy. We will also explore how we are part of our ancestry and the great cycles of life. Around this campfire, we will share stories from different traditions, and research from scientists why nature connection is good for our health and our community. I will share how I and others felt more whole, more alive, and more connected again by listening deeply to nature. We will ask deep soul questions. In following those answers, we will feel less lonely, less disconnected, and more like we belong and we matter to our communities and to ourselves.

Lesson 1

Around The Campfire

Today we'll officially open our 10-day course by reflecting on how we are connected to nature, to our place, and to our community. Where do we live? Who are our people? Our ancestors and elders? What creatures and trees do we love? How are we part of the cycles of life? Let's sit together around a great campfire and listen. This practice helps us feel less lonely and more supported. 'The Great Campfire' practice begins at 7:02.

Lesson 2

Breathing With Trees

Today we’ll be focusing on the breath, practising ‘Breathing With Trees’, with a plant, a tree, or walking in the woods. We’ll be noticing the nature of our own breathing patterns and appreciating the special relationship that humans and trees have, in breathing. Breath is life. Each in-breath is a gift from the trees, each out-breath a gift back. Practising like this helps us feel connected, loved, or nourished. 'Breathing With Trees' practice begins at 14:12.

Lesson 3

Walking Softly, Sensing

Today, we’ll open up our 'sacred sensuality' in a place we love - the sound of the birds, feeling our feet on the earth, appreciating the warmth of sunshine on our skin. The story of 'The Land Of Flowers' reminds us that treasures of nature are not just valuable as resources, as food and shelter, but for the joy they bring us. We'll allow ourselves to 'chase this joy' as we appreciate the beauty around us and in us, in our practice, Nature Walk. 'Nature Walk' practice begins at 11:54.

Lesson 4

Listening Deeply To A Place

We’ll deepen our connection to place today and honour our innate ability to listen deeply. We'll find a place we love and befriend it! Over time, we'll learn about its nuances - the plants, the trees, the birds that live in this place, and feel more deeply connected to the seasons, to natural timing, to the cycles of growth, and to our true selves. We'll honour the first nations' peoples and our ancestors that have practised this way of being for millenia. 'The Sit Spot' practice begins at 13:16.

Lesson 5

The Earth Of The Body

Today, we’ll explore the nature of the body; the world of physical sensations and the relationship between the body and the earth. We’ll learn to ‘read’ whether parts of the body are tense or relaxed, warm or cold, moving or still, comfortable or uncomfortable. We’ll explore feeling ‘grounded’ and this affects mood and mind. We’ll ask our bodies what they really need, and allow the body to be held by the earth and feel completely supported by her. 'Supported By The Earth' practice begins at 12:26.

Lesson 6

Loving The World

Isn’t the planet amazing? Mother Earth supports our every need: the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the shelter we have, the food we eat. She is the ultimate source of unconditional love, providing for everybody. Let’s give thanks for the simple things that keep us alive! In knowing her generosity, we open our hearts to feeling loved and giving love. We’ll explore ways to actively return our thanks and love to the world. 'Gratitude For The Earth' practice begins at 15:32.

Lesson 7

The River Of The Mind

Today, we’ll explore the nature of rivers, and take a look at the mind-stream, at the thoughts that drift along in 'the river of the mind'. We'll ask ourselves, “What's flowing in the river of my mind? How do I let thoughts flow through without getting stuck in them?" And we'll discover what our minds need, for healthy mental flow. 'River Of The Mind' practice begins at 16:55.

Lesson 8

The Emotional Landscape

Today, we’ll be talking about the emotional landscape. Outer environments are all unique, diverse places with different native flora and fauna. In the same way, our inner landscapes are diverse: some are wild and full of colour and surprises. Some are neat and tidy and carefully maintained. We'll ask, 'What is growing in my emotional landscape?' and 'How can I garden my emotions?' 'Emotional Gardening' practice begins at 17:02.

Lesson 9

Nature Speaks To My Soul

What is my calling? Today, you're invited to ask soul searching questions, like this, in nature. Poets, yogis, and inventors have had major breakthroughs when connecting with nature. How do we do this? How do we open the heart and truly listen to the wisdom of the forest or the ocean? We'll learn from poets like Rumi, native traditions, and the vision quest. We'll be invited to go on our own soul quest. 'Soul Quest In Nature' practice begins at 17:36. Practice phases: Getting into the body 18.18, Finding your place 18.36, Befriending the place 19.03, Asking a question 19.40, Appreciation and thanks 20.40, and Integration 21.09

Lesson 10

My place in the web of life

Today, we celebrate our journey and our learnings. We have listened deeply to the nature outside, and the nature inside; to our bodies, our hearts, our minds. We'll explore how we are each part of a great web of life, a continuation of our ancestors; a conversation with the plants, the water, the air that flows through us. We'll return to our campfire circle to give thanks and to pledge how we'll continue. 'Ceremonial Campfire' practice begins at 12:57.

Lydia took me on a journey to my core, my center and the deep love I have for mother nature. This was so affirming, but also challenging me to continue to explore this connection and community of collective souls as well as my own.

This course raised a lot of questions for me, which I am grateful to be able to put to words. While those questions and insights are private, I will say that I recommend this course to anyone who has an emotional connection to nature (most people, I imagine). The meditation practices are novel, heartfelt, and positive. This course will certainly help you identify how nature (in its many aspects) can be both a tool and guide in aiding your personal growth. It also illustrates the comfort we can take from nature, even when we're feeling disconnected and struggling.

What a wonderful course! It is beautifully put together. The sharing of knowledge and personal stories really made me feel that I was listening to a dear friend. I've been listening while I work in my yard and it has transformed my perspective - it is no longer yard work but a cultivation of a relationship.
