This month I'm sharing an audio post - it's a bit of an experiment, and I may do some more in the future. The theme this time is on ways to remember the light in the darkness of winter. I touch on a bit of magic and mythology too!
Now that the days are becoming lighter and warmer, I’m recommitting to my practice of meditating outdoors. Here are five approaches I incorporate into meditating outdoors.
February is something of a liminal (in-between) time: nearly the end of winter, but not quite spring. It can feel like a slog, to cross this transitional space that offers little in the way of anchor points.
My meditation practice changed a lot during lockdown. Some of the things that used to encourage me to practice had shifted, and I was given the space to notice that.
Is there a ‘right’ way to practice mindfulness? I don’t believe there is. Instead, there is plenty of room to customise it to meet your own needs. If you’ve struggled with meditation, then harnessing your imagination could transform your practice time from a dreaded chore into something more personalised, nurturing and appealing.
