Anytime I feel overly entwined with my mind, work, or chores, I will literally burst out through my doors and breathe in the universe through my eyes, lungs and skin. When the vastness of life enters my awareness through all senses at once, I let go. I feel less fragmented, and expand my sense of self in life.
A walk. A swim. A jump. A sigh.
I love the outdoors, because nature (be it trees, rivers, or the sky) connects me to the unlimited universe. Because indoors for me means containment and focus, the outdoors is the expansion and play I need to nourish my spirit. It realigns my mind, and brings me back to a calm space of creativity and alertness.
For today’s meditation rush out of the doors of your home, office, or car and find yourself met by the vivacity of life – think fresh air, trees, desert, and sunlight. Drink it in, breathe it in, allow it to wash off all the things you’ve been carrying in and around you today.
Be. Here. Now.
Enjoy.
