As we transition from summer into autumn, we have a wonderful opportunity to observe how the cycle of Nature is teaching us about change in our own lives. What’s happening on the outer landscape throughout the year is also reflected within us on many internal levels.
To feel more consciously connected with Nature throughout the wheel of the year, we can make space to mindfully pause and connect with the changing sights, sounds, smells, and other sensations of the season. When we do this, we also discover a point of connection that helps us reflect on what’s changing now in our inner landscapes, and how to navigate forward in harmony with Nature’s energy.
These themes and more were explored during my visit with Kingston Radio host Shawn Harrison, on the September 22nd 2019 episode of Mindful. This was my second visit with the show, and we had a chance to go deeper into some of the skills and practices from my book, Conscious Nature: The Art and Neuroscience of Meditating In Nature, as they relate to the autumn season.
Check out the Mindful Episode #75 recording on the Radio Kingston site and discover:
- Practices in Nature for finding stillness in the midst of motion

- Enjoy a Seasonal Meditation to attune to the power of the Autumn for releasing old patterns and preparing for intentional change as you move forward into what’s emerging now
This was a really fun conversation, with some helpful tools and strategies you can apply right away to support your connection with the Nature within and around you!
