Time Alone in Nature

Visualization Exercise in meditation

Being able to pause amidst the noise and activity of everyday makes it possible to maintain a sense of calm; even in high pressure situations.

Time Alone in Nature

This is such a beautiful meditation! Nature has always been my cornerstone, my guide, and my source of solace. Whenever I get overwhelmed or feel drained or just in need of a moment or two to check in with myself I turn to Nature. This lovely meditation provides me with an easy way to access that and to enter a Nature temple of sorts - that sacred natural place where I immediately feel safe and nurtured and where I can leave the chaos of the world for a time. This is definitely a going to become a favorite!

Unspeakable

Once, in the middle of the Pacific, 4,000 miles from civilization, the silence was so profound only the ocean waves and the beating of my heart could be heard. On another occasion, I was in the middle of an Alaskan forest. Drinking from a mountain spring, i proclaimed "This is my Cathedral! The birds are my choir." In both instances I am intimate with nature and nature's creator.

A Personal Journey

This was a beautiful personal journey far away from all the problems of this world.

Nature

Really had a great time within the nature. 😊😊 I felt the smell of the nature, taste of the air, breeze which gave me a great inner peace.

Sooo peaceful

I imagine being in a mountain field filled with Pondarosa Pines. Small little mountain lakes just sitting there like a mirror and I could smell the pines all around with a very small mountain breeze blowing through. After the meditation I could still feel it and smell it. This was a wonderful meditation

Beautiful Irony

I didn't have to close my eyes for today's meditation, as I had the privilege of standing in one of my favorite places in nature - a scenic overlook in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. What a pleasant surprise to see that my meditation was entitled "Time in Nature"! Perfect!

Rejuvenating !

Breeze, Sunshine, Trees, Stream ! Wandering in nature helps me to connect with myself and understand myself better ! 😊

Reflection

This time to experience a place I know and love that is the view of the mountains in Amherst County, Virginia from my Granny's window. Absolutely comforting and beautiful.

I LOVED THIS ONE

I can get to this space very easily 💕💕 did this one sitting on the porch at Bryce

Imagine the most beautiful things in nature with Soothing voice

Imagination of the smell, the texture and the beauty of nature made me relieved. With only imagination on the bed! Love the soothing voice too!

Lakeside

Felt like a mini vacation to my favorite lake of long ago. Relaxing and evocative.

Healing of Nature

I learned that spending time alone in nature, even in a meditative visualization, can help bring about organic healing. What a wonderful comfort it is to have that available wishing us if we have the need ;-)

South African mountains

Go back to the primal being, where love was love. Live like you were born today. Taste,See,Feel,Hear,Believe.

Today

I learned that just imaging going to your place that you think of, it can be a happy place and just letting your mind taking a break is really okay if you want a little break from whatever you are doing.

Yesteryears.

That when visualizing a place in the woods, I used to visit when I was a child, behind my house, when visualizing I can again feel for just a moment that I am that young child again, and my worries them were so much smaller, and it helps me to let my worries of today go.

Morning meditation outside

This was such a great way to start the day. The sun was coming up and I sat outside in my backyard and listened to this meditation. With my feet in the grass, I feel grounded and one with the universe.

Nature Calls

I frequently forget to value a connection with nature, as I used to do. This was a well-received reminder of the vital importance nature should have in a balanced life.

Feeling great!

It's wonderful to be with nature. It's so soothing, so soft, so serene. Relieves stress. Great! :))

Day 1 after a long break from Meditation

I learned that I do still have the ability to relax if I listen gently and purposely unfocus my attention. I did struggle with nice peaceful places but I decided not to fight it and just enjoy the slide show instead.

Go away!

I learned that at any time I can lock myself in a car and imagine

Should be out

Need to spend more time in nature, less time in a cubical. Haven’t had enough “me” time.

Nature

It’s amazing how tuned in you can be to places you love without being there. This meditation made me realize that I really need to get out into my happy place!

Releasing

Releasing whatever is inside me through tears. So much is needing the be let go and I’m having a hard time with some of it. Healing is a process, one that I want and need but have struggled with some days like today. This app is very helpful and I’m grateful for it.

Happy Place

This meditation took me directly to one of the few places on Earth that brings me to total peace and a smile was on my face this entire meditation!

My place

This session took me back to my most favorite place in nature. The stress of every day was washed away while thinking about my special place.

Nature

Referencing back to memories is beautiful and amazing and fun, because they are memories, but also thinking about future places brings me joy. Just imagining playing on the beach with my sister. The warm sand warming my body but then the breeze to quickly cool it down

Happy place

The beautiful place I pictured literally brought a smile to my face. I pictured the lookout over Sproat Lake where we stopped by the side of the road to look at the beautiful scenery - the far reaching mountains, deep blue water, and radiant sun. I really felt like I was there again, enjoying the beauty of creation.

A New Day 10-13-17

I learned that all place and things of nature are beauties of your mind and can take you to wonderful moments. It can make you smile and give you a sense of reality check. Thank you you Aura!

Day 1

You can emotionally connect with nature and feel your soundings even when they aren’t there you can visualize and connect with them.

First Meditation

I learned that I can carry a single moment of calm in me wherever I go and whatever I do.

Breathing

I learned that taking this time for me each morning is relaxed and keeps my mind centered

Relax and feel good

I learned that taking a time each day to relax and feel good through the beautiful things on our surroundings will help a lot on making us feel better.

Nature

I find places with water and mountains so calming. I learned that it’s so very hard to drown everything out... the hum of traffic, my dog, my roommate, my stress/responsibilities... and just let go to meditate and relax. I need that ability back in my life to stay sane and keep a clear, focused mind.

Time Alone In Nature

Nature is always there...waiting to nurture us. Sometimes we need to imagine a favorite place and sometimes we are blessed to actually be there. On any day though, nature is only a breath...a moment away.

Walking in the park

I have a park that I go to often that has tons of nature. I just visualized walking along the trail and remembered pretty cool experiences with deer, birds, and squirrels. I remember the sound of the river, and the smell after it rains in the park. It’s very calming just to be one with nature. You realize they do watch you more closely than we sometimes pay attention to.

A Little Goes A Long Way

I learned that only a few minutes of meditation can help transform me and the stress levels in my body. My practice can literally take me to another place - mind, body, soul - if I open up myself and allow for it to.

Alone in nature

I easily visualized many places in nature. But I struggled to visualize somewhere I could be alone. Every time I began to relax into it I felt like at any time someone else could come along to the place and my tranquility would be gone.

Best place in nature

I visualized a spot in northern Michigan and it instantly relaxed me and helped me feel calmer and happier

Better

There is a tranquility you can still feel while being under a busy time.

Tranquility

transfers to life, tension leaves, peacefulness is near. It is good.

Boracay

Took myself to boracay Philippines with this medication. It felt so incredible. To be in the motherland and being so intuned with the warm breeze, blue oceans, fresh off the grilled smell of BBQ and white sands.

Peaceful Memories

Most of the time my mind breeds and feeds itself from traumatic horrible memories which creates anxiety. Fear directing my suffering. I forget about CHOICE! I forget the amazing moments of time that I’m blessed to have experienced. Today, I returned to my favorite place- a beach in Kawaii. Mesmerizing waves crashing and spraying fizz like droplets into the sky. Im learning how important it is for me to remember that I am the size of a piece of sand that is connected to every shore, the oceans, and the earth. This recreates my soul desires - awe, wonder, and connection.

Revitalized

I love to visualize myself being somewhere in nature, a forest, a meadow and quite often a beautiful coastal beach with cliffs. I can feel the temperature and breeze, I can smell the flowers, trees or ocean. It is so revitalizing and clears my mind of unwanted mental debris. 🌻🌅

Total awesome

What an experience! It is wonderful to bring up past places that I can remember and cherish and hold them in gratitude. I envisioned myself in Hawaii on the beach where I had spent a summer vacation with my family, the memory brings a smile to my face.

Nature

Nature is a beautiful gift and a beautiful place to take your mind and soul

Just imagine

...the mind is a very powerful thing...

Nature Relaxes

Visualizing a place in nature, down to the smallest of sensory details, helped push away the stress of work for just a few moments. But those few moments allowed me to calm my mind before I go to bed.

Time alone in nature

A mini vacation to my own personal oasis that carries with me to be visited at anytime.

Missed out

I missed out on so much in real life by not stopping to feel my senses in the place I imagined

Commune with Mother Nature

I learned that by picturing myself in one of most fave spots helps me bring back the feeling i had when I was actually in that place. .. at peace n feeling great!!! Thank You LORD.❤️

Fri 12.8

It amazes me that my mind and body take me to a place of peace that in my memory is wrapped into the most difficult time of my life, that years later I am still drawn to the parts of my history that shaped me. I love that I can find peace in the tumult that was once trauma.

Nature

I learned that stopping what I’m doing and letting myself be transported to somewhere in my thoughts for a few minutes can be a very good thing.

12/21/17

I learned that even if my mind drifts during meditation, I can always bring it back to my breathing. Today I couldn’t focus on the meditation at all, but even just taking a minute for myself was helpful

Communing with nature

It's nice to take some time to escape from reality (even if it's only in your imagination).

Nature

Nature provides soothing calm and relaxation. One must find time to commune with nature and feel how it naturally restores our well being.

Nature herself.

This meditation was so needed for me at this exact time. I felt myself instantly let go of stress, fear, worry, and my constant jumble of thoughts and just be in my happy place; a crisp, dark green forest that goes on for miles with a trickling bubbling stream running through out its earthy, textured ground I feel between my toes as I squish dirt in my wake. I wish I was in nature right now. It is winter and freezing where I live so this meditation rejuvenated me.

The Power of Nature

I learned not to forget the relaxing effect nature has upon me. Nature is a great tool to use in meditation.

Time in nature

Today I visualized a beautiful garden with roses in full bloom. The beauty, colors, smells and sounds helped make this place real. At the end I walked out of my garden but, knew I could always come back. Thank you!

Time alone in nature..

i like the idea of how i imagine my fav. place surrounded all by nature and feel all the trees, birds and sea around.. it’s breathtaking and way comfortable. the essence of this place and they way i dress .. i’ve never felt this kind of releaser❤️🌊🏝

Fantasy land

I felt compelled to skip again as I have so many things to do and felt beyond anxious. So I began to let that be my sign to stop and meditate. I did this in the kitchen while my coffee was by my side, I kind of just stopped and dropped life for 3 mindful minutes. Now I didn’t have the best confidence on if this was gonna help my anxiety but those minutes felt like hours in a beautiful park I will always remember in London and Paris. Thank you. I didn’t realize how deep in your mind you can go and watch time evaporate before you eyes.

Time Alone in Nature

I imagined myself back on the farm in Ohio where I grew up where I could take a walk and go to my favorite maple tree. I imagined it to be at least 100 years old and it was at the top of a hill where the breeze rose up and swept my long hair back, clearing my mind of all my worries and toil. I sat down in the grass and then lay flat on the grassy surface running my fingers through the blades of thick soft greenery still feeling the wind over my body and face. Thank God for this world of beauty!

To take the time to feel the breeze

To let your mind free and let your sense of touch guide you is wonderful

Nature

Even being in nature in your mind is very grounding. It’s good even if it’s only for a few minutes.

Attention

Yes I have a short attention span. Does it make it hard to focus? Yes everyday. Do I make it though each day with struggles? Hell yes. It is the only way I know how too. My attention span inhibits my learning, spelling, focus and many more things. But it makes me unique in the way I manage to power through life.

Natuur

Ik heb geleerd dat ik me vrij voel in de natuur en dat ik deze meer wil gaan opzoeken, juist ook in momenten van stress

Beautiful

Life is beautiful. Savor each moment, good or bad. Feel the hum of the world.

The Art of Nature

The simplest beauty in nature is always more powerful and inspirational than the greatest art. If art is the imitation of nature, why not appreciate the beauty, depth and complexity of the real thing.

Painting a picture

This session was really strong because it helped me paint a picture of a place I chose to be in nature and led me through the visit.

Grass

I noticed myself rubbing my fingers together as I imagined the grass and realized how much I miss it in this snowy environment

Feeling stress free

I enjoy nature walks in nature listening to the creek & the birds & siting by the creek & writing my journal 📓 listening to the water make me feel relax & less stress 😌

Day one

Taking time to slowly allow myself to breathe and relax. That I don’t have to be in the race going 90 mph.

Moment

Even when I don’t think I need a moment., I always need a moment. Never underestimate time to just breathe and meditate. It’s powerful.

Willow tree

Just imagining something as simple as reading a book under a willow tree can bring tranquility back into the moment. I was surprised with how calm I felt afterwards.

Getting close to nature

This meditation bring us back in close proximity to nature to get in touch and feel it as it comes forth towards us. It’s always good to reconnect back what we enjoy.

My happy place

When I closed my eyes I visualized a beach. It was cold and the sun was setting and there was someone next to me. I tried to look over but I couldn’t see the face clearly, maybe it was Matt. I know I was truly happy while here though.

First session

I learned that taking a moment to actually breathe and take a moment for yourself helps reduce weight on your shoulder

Beach

I couldn’t really focus, because my mind kept going back to sad thoughts… I hope next time will go in a better way

A forest

It helped me calm down and to let go. Bringing me less stress and ready for the hell of tomorrow

Focus

I had difficulty focusing on where I was and need to work on letting everything go and be in the present.

Trees

It was a very serene place I’ve been with a lot of pine trees tall and leaves everywhere listening to the wind move the leaves and feeling the breeze go through my body it was like I was there, very relaxing meditation. I actually focused.

Time Alone in Nature

I learned that I can take myself back to a favorite time, place, or experience I’ve had in nature and reconnect with that feeling of happiness and tranquility. Take time to find the beauty in nature all around you and be grateful!

Time alone with nature

I learned that there's more to life and you just need to find it

Day 1

I learned it’s hard for me to relax but this helps me focus and center in

Hosana

It took me back to a childhood memory that I had with my family and it being such a fond memory it instantly brought me happiness. However the moment I opened my eyes and came back to reality it quickly vanished. It’s a feeling which I didn’t want to leave it was calming, peaceful, no stress just happiness and content.

follow me on insta @le.yah_ 🎀💐😂💖😸💔😢🙂😹😽👺😊🤦‍♀️💟🤢😻💫💀💕👀🌻🤮💙🖤❤️🎃✊🏿😅💘😤-my recent emojis

Nature grounds me

Just to spend 3 minutes in my favorite natural places is so refreshing!

Weed

Took me back to my high school years of toking up while watching Bob Ross paint those happy trees. Good times bro, good times.

Sadness

Just learned of the unexpected passing of a friend. A punk kid when we moved into our house 30-some years ago, but always very respectful at our house. My hubby was kind of a stand-in dad, as his birth father wasn���t in the picture. As a boy and a man, he had his issues, but was still the kind soul with us. He always had a special place in our hearts. My heart is breaking. 😥

Time alone in nature

Love this one. I spend a lot of time in nature so it was an easy visualization. A good reminder to return to nature in my mind as I need to.

Gratitude

Tall redwood trees all around me. Monarch butterflies fluttering by. The sound of a distant waterfall. Two doves cooing. And suddenly a deer appears. Thank you for bringing me there.

Day 39

I really felt like I was able to immerse myself into the place in nature that I was visualizing.

R E L A X I N G ...

I learned I can transport anywhere in the world in a few seconds (in my mind) -from beautiful mountain vistas with cool, lofty breezes & endless peaks visible off into the distance to the salty & windy Oceanside relaxing on the sand with the sun baking down and the endless roaring waves crashing on the shore to the dusty but fresh pine scented hiking trails through the national parks out West. Good memories , good times , good night!!😴💤

Naturalism

Bestow will and ambition among those willing to conquer the pollutions of the past

Feeling stressed out 😩

Being alone in nature make me feel relax & refresh & de stress I enjoy nature walk by the creek it feel really relaxing 😌 & letting go my stress

I learned

I learned to be present in my body at this moment in order to stop obsessing over negative things.

Time alone in nature

This is one of my favorite mental exercises! I can take myself back to my special memories of places I have experienced and love. Sights, sounds even smells come flooding back to me! So rejuvenating! Ahhhh..

Me Under A Tree

Trees and the sound of their leaves rustling in the wind nurture my soul. I absolutely loved this visualization, it connected me with a sense of joy I have been missing.

Kauai

This is where my heart is and I still want to be. I cannot blame a place for the negative things my body put me through. Remember the good, stop concentrating on the bad.

Freedom of the press

It was just a matter of time. “The free press is the enemy of the people.” The charismatic leader of a cult of personality continued to spew out hatred-laced, venomous attacks. Red meat for his audience of insecure, ignorant, brain-washed followers. Us vs. Them. Identify innocents and make them scapegoats. Tell your followers you alone are the only answer. Attack the institutions which protect the foundations of our way of life. Alienate allies, break alliances, unilaterally negotiate concessions with murderous dictators and get absolutely nothing in return. Lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, but never ever actually prepare a logical, cohesive policy based on evidence. Go with your gut, slap on tariffs, separate innocent little children from thier parents. Five journalists are dead. And yet those who know better still say nothing, still rationalize, still hold thier nose and look the other way. All because they got thier tax break.

Nature L❤️ver

Being out in nature always has a soothing effect on me. I could visualize sitting with my back against a tree, my feet feeling the grass, and listening to the creek. This meditation left me feeling very relaxed. Thanks aura for the recommendation today.❤️

Peaceful

I love this medication because I love nature. Thinking about my favorite nature spot puts me at ease.

A skip in time

I was listening to this peaceful meditation and envisioning one of my favorite places on Kauai, Hawaii, when suddenly I found myself in upstate New York lying in the grass with the clouds drifting by overhead, all shapes and sizes. There were birds singing, deer grazing and I was perfectly at peace with the forest nearby. I was so surprised that I felt transfixed. It was ...perfect.

Beautiful

I came to a beautiful place I’d literally only been to in my dreams and it brought the utmost calm and sense of wonder.

Alone with My Thoughts

I needed this calm, mindful moment today. I got some bad health news today, and I have so much turmoil inside. This helped me find some peace for a bit.

Irritated😒

Tonight’s meditation was not a success as my 12 year old son decided to wrestle with our dog in the background the entire time! Hard to let go, relax, be in the moment and meditate with all that going on.🤯 Will try again tomorrow in a more quiet setting. 🤫

Back after some time

I loved this session, i been feeling really good lately and finally having this time for myself made wonders

My bike ride

I visualized my bike ride from earlier today where I cycled through the forest preserve. It was wonderful to be back there again in my mind. Thanks.

Inner Peace

Time Alone In Nature, the title couldn’t be more true. If we ever have a chance to go there we should, and if we can’t, than that’s alright because if we even imagine being there we feel a sense of calm and peace. The sights, the sounds, all of senses come true when we are out there and seeing the beauty that the world still has to offer us and it’s not something we should take for granted.

I feel calm

I’m feeling calm... I only wish I could be sitting by the beach....listening to the waves... n feeling the breeze on my skin

Time alone in nature

It made me feel sleepy but relaxing,I feel like going to the beach and letting the sun get between my clothes.

I felt great until...

Man, I was really digging this visualization until Lauren mentioned something about the spirit of nature and I remembered cutting down some branches of a bush that were blocking the bike path. All of the sudden I felt really bad about that. 😲

Cleansing your illness

Moments alone to immerse yourself in the quiet of nature can help make your sick day less miserable

365 days

This particular meditation I listened to when I first started using this app and now has become the last one of a 365 day streak. I feel like I’ve come a long way from where I once was and meditation has now become so integral to my life. This particular one always gives me a sense of calm and happiness because I can easily imagine the waterfall cove I went to near a camping ground I stayed at a long while ago. It was probably one of the most calming times I’ve been in nature because it felt relatively untouched by people. It was like being transported to a magical world in ways. I hope to go back there again some day.

Time alone

I feel like I’ve been remembering who I am lately. Time alone has been essential to the process. I have a tendency to panic and turn to others, but that’s really not serving me. I know how I function best and I need to trust that. Anyone who encourages me to depend on them is actually being self serving.

Past thoughts

This meditation made me remember back to when I was at a national park, looking at all of the luscious green plants and tress. Loved this meditation, it made me feel closer to nature :)

This meditation...

works really well, it makes you forget all the bad memories and it made me remember the time when I was in the lavender field

Nature

My favorite spots in nature flipped through my mind like photographs in an album. These are the moments in time I can pinpoint my alignment. Connection to Source through connection with nature. #Namaste #OmShanti #OmNamahShivaya

This meditation

It didn’t really help much im still sad and feel like im in a bad place.

It felt very relaxing. I forgot where I even was and only remembered the place I imagined.

I learned that nature can really make us feel more relaxed and peaceful.

Relaxation

I felt very relaxed and chill. I loved imagining this peaceful place to be grateful for just for being there.

Open eyes

I did not need to close them as a sat upon a grassy hill surveying my beautiful place. Taking a glimpse to last a life time, the hills, the trees, the sky I watched as a bumblebee flew past me intent in its busy life. The dogs sat at my feet always watchful, birds settled in for the night. Behind my back an egg shaped stone supported me, I used to tell my son it was a dragons egg that one day would hatch to populate the earth again. The sky is darkening now, a hint of pink graces the horizon blushes against a deepening blue. Goodbye day and welcome night, may tomorrow bring some peace.

Hermit Meadows

Laying in the warm sun on my big rock listening to the sound of the nearby waterfall and stream, feeling a light breeze on my skin and enjoying the sheer beauty of the surrounding mountains, glaciers, and valleys. It’s summer in my favourite place...

Nature

I learned that thinking about nature can really influence your day to be the best it can be.

Nature - where?

I went to many places in this meditation ... my “back home” place, where spring is so exuberant, colorful and green, warm and fragrant. The North of England, and Scotland. The rocky, sea-splashed coast of Maine, where the water is as grey as the sky and the wind...

Ok

I think being in the corel reaf underwater is not a good place but I did relax

I’m still stressed

I’m still stressed. Didn’t work out for me. My thoughts are everywhere again. I cannot think straight.

I felt relaxed and like I didn’t have anything else I needed to be doing.

I learned that it’s ok to take a break especially when your feeling overwhelmed.

10 breaths

I learned that it’s okay to start over, I don’t have to be frustrated with interrupting thoughts. Just breathe and start over.

A Glimpse if nature

Not quite spring here yet, but nice to spend a few minutes imagining. Namaste

Wow.

I used this meditation after a long walk. This not only calmed my mind and my body... it was an excellent cool down.

Heaven on Earth

Lauren: your meditation reminds me of my 7 visits to a South Pacific island (over 2,000 miles to “civilization”). At 4 AM I sat on the beach and the stars appeared so close, it was as if you could touch them. It was so quiet, I actually felt and heard the beat of my heart! And I observed a near-by island, not 20 miles away. Than I heard the crashing waves upon the shore. PEACE, QUIET & INTIMACY WITH NATURE Thank You my beloved friend 😇❤️🌴

This is such an effective meditation...calming and peaceful. The ocean and bird sounds in the background also help take me to my happy place.🙏🏻

Nature

This visualization of being in nature is refreshing to begin your day with. As you imagine being in nature, use all of your senses to feel your soul become awakened and rejuvenated. Use this energy to power you through your day. Have a beautiful day! ❤️🙏🏻😊

Nature

I visualized myself sitting underneath a tree with my bare feet in the grass. It is late in the afternoon with the sun starting to fade. I feel a warm Summer breeze and smell the grass and fresh air. I am happy in this place which I consider to be my sanctuary.

Sept 15, 2:30pm

I feel slightly better. bringing back memories of happy times, and relaxing times. not focusing on the issues going on in my life. need more me time

Divine

An amazingly deep meditation (wish it was longer). Was reminded of the deep intimacy between Nature, nature’s Creator and me. Incredible power and gentleness. A time, a place so soft and extremely quiet, the only sound was the beating of my heart. ❤️🙏🤓

Fall Hike Memory

This meditation brought me back to a beautiful place I discovered on one of my hikes in the Fall. This trail was in the city but had the beauty of being up in the North Georgia Mountains. I could feel the sunshine on my face, feel the crisp fresh air on my skin, hear the leaves crunching under my feet as I walked, and seeing some vibrant colors on the trees. I could smell the damp earth as well as the river. This memory put a smile on my face. I felt like I was right there again.

Fortified

It has been proven that by spending time out in nature can boost our mood. In this wonderful meditation, Lauren has us visualize a place where we may have been in nature and experience the place once again through our mind’s eye. Through my minds eye, I was taken back to one of the most beautiful places in nature I have ever been fortunate to go, called Eagle River Nature Center, the gateway to Chugach State Park, located 45 minutes north of Anchorage, Alaska. I remember taking this one interpretive loop trail that began slightly downhill, through various tree stands, lush vegetation and abundant wildflowers. As I followed the trail, it opened up to a wooden platform, crossing a body of water. I looked to my left and there was two majestic mountains, which are part of the Chugach Mountain Range, standing tall against the deep blue sky. As I looked at this picturesque site, I was overwhelmed with peace and gratitude. Continuing walking, I began hearing waterfowl in the distance as the platform winds around until it reached land once again. Following the trail, I am lead through more lush vegetation and abundant wildflowers until it reached the Nature Center. What a fantastic experience! This is truly a wonderful meditation to listen to! It’s a great escape for our mind. Visualizing this beautiful place in nature has not only relaxed me, but has fortified me! Thank you, Lauren! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Soothing

What a beautiful guided meditation to take time out in nature whilst my body was still sitting on the sofa! I actually had a few minutes where the chatter of my mind was quiet and I was feeling long grass through my finger tips and watching butterflies dancing in the sky. I felt peaceful and soothed for a brief time which was just what I needed. I will be saving this one as it was so effective for me to quiet my mind and transport me elsewhere.

Feeling the water

I felt the water run through my fingers as I paused my paddling in my kayak and drifted forward in the lake. I felt peace, and awe at the beauty and serenity of being a 16 year old again in my red kayak. Thank you. Peace is possible. #ShareGoodness

Back to nature

It’s very cold this morning in the north east but I was able to go to my very warm, sunny, happy place in nature through this three minute meditation. Oh my goodness. I love it so much!

Wonderful

This is such a peaceful brief reflection of time spent in nature.

Time Alone in Nature

I have been sad that I cannot travel because of the virus. Thank you for reminding me to return to all the amazing places that I have visited on my cushion and just BE there.

Nature

I learnt that I can use places that I have been where I felt calm and at peace with visualisation to allow myself to destress when I need to. I can use this visualisation meditation to take a moment when I need some alone time. That’s a really useful thing to have especially during this time.

Thoughts

Right now I’m going thru a rough time where I’ve been having panic attacks and I hit myself then I try to calm myself down because at that moment I feel so overwhelmed by negativity that idk what to do and I become the smallest person I can be I know I need help I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I know that I’m doing something wrong just don’t know what yet The thing I used to calm myself with and be less anxious my mom hates it and she cries and I cry because I made her feel bad but I feel so bad that I could cry for hours and hit myself for long periods until I get bruises or bleed I don’t know what to do to handle myself This audio actually helped me for a bit so thanks

Very good visualisation meditation for me.

Nature calms me. And that i go where my higere Power is present aswell in nature. That gives me peace and love.

First try

Calmer. Focus on something beautiful. Ignore impulsive destructive downward patterns

Take a moment

Visualizing a beautiful place I’ve been before and remembering the sights, sounds and my feelings while I was there. Took me away from reality for a moment and helped me relax.

imagining

Imagining scenarios that I have not yet experienced help me calm my mind

Time Alone in Nature

What a wonderful way to start my day! It was great to be reminded of all of the beautiful places that I have been

Peacefulness In Nature

I find nature is and will always be a natural source of energy, peacefulness, and relaxation. If you are ever feeling overwhelmed with stress or any negative emotion try taking a walk in your local nature path it always helps keep you calm

Heart Lake

Hiked with Sean Coonce up to heart lake and Rogers pass. First time doing meditation and wIm hoff breathing. I sat way up on a small rock wall with the lake below. Sean fished. Great day. Great time in nature.

Visual

Today i visioned a spot I bring the dogs to swim and walk it’s a campground but not many people use it there’s a big tree I sit by over looking the small lake it would be a perfect place for a house 🏠

Feeling totally refreshed after the session

Imagine time with nature and visualising all the intricate details is really a beautiful and effective way to take your mind to a better space.

Nature

Thank you for reminding me that I can be in nature anytime. I have been struggling working in a cubicle

Contentment

I feel a sense of contentment. Letting go of the things I cannot control, and taking a hold of the things I can. This is a great meditation technique. One I will use again.

Ah oxygen green brown bark bugs leaves and a breeze

No artificial environment can generate nature but that in my imagination senses snd stepping out my door leaning out the car window Ah breath

Being in nature

I learnt my favourites place is in the ocean among the sounds and colours and life of a coral reef

my forest

ever since i was about 9 years old, i had this safe spot in my mind where i would visualise myself sitting in a rainforest, just enjoying the scenery and the feeling of comfort. i went to that place again today, and it was so relaxing just being able to give my mind a break from the busy world we live in :))

Being nature

It’s lovely to be nature and carry that with you even better to be in nature

Being in nature

I liked this visualization. I like her quiet, calm voice. I feel calm and worry free. I feel light, yet grounded. Thank you. 😊
