Kristin Barker: Reconnecting With The Earth

A short, guided meditation inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh to remind us of the connection we hold with the living, breathing Earth all around us and the rest that connection brings. This meditation is guided by One Earth Sangha's Co-Founder, Kristin Barker.

Transcript

So let's start with a brief sit together,

Just to land and gather our attention,

Bringing a sense of dignity and uprightness as we touch this earth,

Really feeling our connection,

This larger earth body of which we are a part,

Sensing this earth as breathing,

This body,

Just enjoying the breathing,

Releasing all that is not here and not now,

Trusting this moment,

Putting all of our trust in this moment,

Allowing this mind to rest in the heart,

Allowing the heart to rest in the body,

Inviting the body to rest on the earth as earth.

This from Thich Nhat Hanh,

We are children of the earth,

We rely on earth and the earth relies on us.

Whether the earth is beautiful,

Fresh and green or arid,

Parched,

Depends on our way of walking.

Please touch the earth in mindfulness,

With joy and concentration.

The earth will heal you and you will heal the earth.
