Touching The Earth (LIVE): Mindfulness Gatha Meditation
With today's urgency surrounding climate and environmental restoration, this practice invites us to reconnect with Mother Earth, serving to ground us, support our mental health, and embody gratitude. This practice consists of a mindfulness gatha, which we will explore line-by-line and a short meditation. Gathas are also known as mindfulness verses or poems that invite us back into the present moment to deepen our mindfulness practice. This gatha is titled "Touching The Earth" from Thich Nhat Hanh's book, "Present Moment, Wonderful Moment". Be welcome to take a few deep breaths and recite this gatha the next time you are about to step outside: Earth brings us to life and nourishes us. Earth takes us back again. We are born and we die with every breath. This was recorded during an Insight Timer LIVE session, so background noises are me typing the gatha into the livechat and sifting through the book. Be welcome to join me in an Insight Timer LIVE practice to explore gathas further.
