Feel Meditation

This meditation invites you to embody the sensations of nature with intention and openness.

Slow your stride as you move through nature, just you would in any sacred space as you prepare for the meditation.

Whatever time is available to you is just the right amount, whether 15 seconds, 15 minutes, or an hour or more.

Meditation

Step 1: Grounding

Close your eyes
Take a deep breath–ahh
Feel Mother Earth supporting you
Notice how She holds all your weight
Take another deep breath–ahh
Imagine your feet are like a root system,
- pulling energy up from the ground into your body
- and through to the crown of your head
Open your eyes, or keep them closed for Step 2
