Hello,
And welcome to nature,
Where we belong.
I'm so grateful you're here.
This is an invitation to reconnect with yourself,
Not by doing,
But by listening.
Today,
We explore nature as a place of grounding,
Support,
And quiet belonging.
This meditation is part of my Flow to Wellness collection,
A reflection of my own journey of healing,
Listening,
And learning how to be well.
May this offering support you as you begin or continue your own Flow to Wellness.
Finding a comfortable place to land,
Seated or lying down,
Allowing your body to feel supported.
Take a moment to notice the surface beneath you,
The space around you.
Begin to breathe in and out through your nose,
Slow and steady.
Simply arriving here is enough for now.
Nature is often something we think of as somewhere we go,
But nature is also something we belong to.
The body understands this instinctively,
Through rhythm,
Through breath,
Through the quiet intelligence of being alive.
You don't need to find the perfect place,
You only need to notice what's already here.
Nature has always been one of my greatest teachers.
When my body felt overwhelmed,
When healing felt complicated,
Being outside helped me remember something simple.
I didn't need to fix anything.
I didn't need to understand everything.
Standing on the earth,
Feeling the air on my skin,
Watching the natural world move at its own pace,
My body softened,
My breath deepened,
And a sense of belonging returned.
Nature reminded me that I was never separate.
As we move into the meditation,
Take a moment to get even more comfortable,
Continuing to breathe in and out through your nose,
Closing your eyes or softening your gaze,
Allowing the body to be at rest,
Allowing the breath to flow with ease,
Breathing in,
Receiving what you need in this moment,
Breathing out,
Softening what you wish to release.
No effort,
No forcing,
Just allowing yourself to arrive here in stillness.
You might imagine yourself outdoors,
Perhaps beneath an open sky,
Or surrounded by trees,
Or standing barefoot on the earth.
Notice the steady support beneath you,
The quiet presence around you.
Nothing is rushing you here,
Nothing is asking you to be different.
You belong,
Just as you are.
Now allow the body to rest here,
Held by this sense of support,
Not doing,
Not fixing,
Just being.
Notice where the body meets the surface beneath you,
The quiet sense of grounding,
The feeling of being held.
If the mind begins to wander,
That's okay.
Gently return your attention to the breath again and again.
This returning is the practice.
If it feels supportive,
Gently remind yourself,
I belong here.
Let the words land,
And then fade.
Rest here for a little while in the simplicity of breathing,
Of being,
Of allowing.
Nothing needs to be fixed,
Nothing needs to be solved.
You are already here,
Resting in stillness.
Begin to notice the breath again,
The gentle rhythm of the inhale and the exhale.
Feel the subtle aliveness within the body,
A quiet steadiness,
A sense of being held.
When you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Taking in the space around you.
Nature is not somewhere you have to reach,
It is something you belong to.
May this sense of belonging support you as you move forward,
Carrying with you the grounding you've remembered here,
As you continue on your very own flow to wellness.
