Meditate in Nature

"Nothing supports the opening of the heart and mind like the beauty, tranquillity, and silence of the natural world. When we meditate in nature, we bring a receptive presence to the natural world. It comes alive—and so do we.”

- Mark Coleman, from Spirit Rock Meditation Center, author of the book Awake in the Wild

Meditative Hike to Lake Awosting – How to Listen (July 2017)

As we sat in silence on top of a ridge last week, other hikers who passed through came into silence. I am always touched by the power and beauty of silence in a world of noise. The dignity and stillness of mountains and lakes reflect back to our own capacity for stillness and equanimity. #silence #naturemeditation

About

Being in the Wild is born out of a love for meditation and nature. When meditating in nature, our senses come alive. Whether it is touching tree barks, hearing bird songs, or meandering on unknown paths, nature allows us to see into the essence of our experiences and our world. From focusing on a single leave to dissolving into the sky, nature practices may help you connect to a rich and vast inner and outer world, and you can access them any time in the midst of an urban life.

Lin Gordon has been practicing insight meditation in the last eight years under the guidance of Jonathan Foust, Mark Coleman, as well as various teachers at the New York Insight Meditation Center. In stillness and silence, she discovers the transformative power of mindfulness practices to help live a life of flow, joy, grace and gratitude.

In the last three years, Lin was particularly moved by the power of nature meditation practices to connect with a deep sense of well-being, tranquility, love and resilience.  She graduated from Mark Coleman’s Awake in the Wild Nature Meditation Teacher Training in 2017 and has since taught at New York Insight Meditation Center.
