The Garden Within

We spend so much of our lives looking outward to the world around us. Every once in a while it can be such a relief to turn our gaze inward instead for a little while. Closing the eyes and refocusing within can help us quiet the nervous system, recharge our batteries, and return us to what matters most in our lives.In this 12-minute practice, we’ll consider the lovely possibility that we have a garden within where we can rest and savor the moment. We’ll call upon our powers of imagination and imagery to create a quiet oasis inside of us. Consider this a meditation, perhaps, or an opportunity to practice deep rest.Sit upright if you like, or rest back in any comfortable position. You might even be able to do this while strolling through your favorite garden. Feel free to toss out any of the words or images that don’t ring true to you. And, of course, head off onto your own inner journey any time you like. Get full access to At Home in the World at claudiacummins.substack.com/subscribe
