Connect with nature.

I love to connect with nature when meditating, or even just reading.

These two spots are from a recent patio garden area of a property I was taking care of. I meditated on a big flat cushion under the orange tree (right) in the morning, and would sit in the sun by the big pot plants, on the patio, reading with a morning brew of tea.

To connect with nature can be an act as simple as this. Don’t overlook what you already have, even if it’s a pot plant, a tiny balcony, or a window box. You could easily bring it into your meditation.

Keep it simple.
