Sit Outside and Listen - A Nature Meditation

  • Find somewhere outdoors where you won’t be disturbed.

  • Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and then bring your attention toward what you can hear.

  • Notice the sounds most obvious to you, as well as those that are in the background. Notice how some sounds come and go, while others are constant. Notice how some get louder and softer.

  • When your mind wanders, notice you’ve become distracted and gently return your attention to listening.

  • Continue listening in this way for at least five minutes
