Natural Meditation offers easy-to-follow meditation cues for
meditating in natural settings or meditating on natural images or
objects. Sidebars throughout the book provide suggestions on how to
incorporate nature into your mindfulness practice. The short entries
allow readers to open to a page during lunch break, at home in the
evening, or on the weekend for a short "retreat," setting off down a
quiet, natural path.
This book acknowledges that nature has a lot to teach us about going
with the flow, letting go, awareness, calm, silence, and pausing.
Whether you practice these meditations in actual natural settings or on
a cushion at home, the book's entries will inspire you to spend more
time in nature.
Natural Meditation emphasizes the spiritual, moral, and other tangible
benefits of nature. The focus is on training the mind in relaxation,
visualization, creativity, and rejuvenation, incorporating natural
settings, plants, and animals. Sometimes a respite or quiet path is just
what one needs in this crazy world.
