Meditation of Nature

I personally love this mediation. It doesn't matter what state I am in, nothing is more revitalizing than just going outside and communing with nature.

How do you meditate on nature?
Just go outside for a walk or to the park - or better still to the woods. Just focus on everything that is nature. Watch the trees, the sky, the stars, the moon, smell the air, take in the sunshine, feel the breeze, listen to the wind blow and the birds sing. If your mind wanders and you start thinking about work, bills or any other worries, just let them go and come back to nature. Dont get frustrated. Just gently move your focus back to the stillness of nature...again and again. Be attentive, be patient.

Eventually you may really start to feel the peace and simplicity that is the very essence of nature. If you're like me, you may even begin to feel a connection and the statement "I am one with nature" will become an experience and not just a cliche.
