Guided Morning Stillness Meditation

45-Minute Body Scan by Steve Hickman

This meditation is intended to be done in the presence of a tree.

Find a tree someplace where you will be undisturbed. If you don’t have a particular tree in mind, take a walk, and allow yourself to be called to a particular tree.

Stand in front of the tree and simply take it in with all your senses. Let go of any thoughts or labels like what kind of tree it is or how old it is. Allow your eyes to wander from the roots, to the trunk, branches, leaves, and canopy.

Interest will arise when you pay close attention to every detail, as if this were the first time you were seeing a tree.

This guided meditation practice may be found in Mark Coleman's book, Awake in the Wild. To learn more about the book and Mark's book, please visit https://www.MarkColeman.org

Breath Awareness Meditation - 11-Minute

A meditation for embodied awareness in nature. Adapted from T. Amos Clifford's book, "Forest Bathing."

Mindfulness In Nature

This short Awareness of Breath meditation is designed to reduce stress, increase wellbeing, decrease emotional reactivity, and calm the chatter in your mind. 

Following the breath helps focus the mind and bring you back to the present moment. We can drop out of the thinking, planning, worrying, fantasizing, problem-solving mind, down into the calm of the breath and body.
