Nature As Beloved, Nature As Self with Stephen K. Hatch is a podcast about Wilderness Christian Mysticism.

This bonus episode offers a guided Christian Insight Meditation designed to support contemplative practice. Listeners are invited to settle into a space of inner stillness and spacious awareness, using breath, imagery, and sacred story to cultivate presence and wonder.
The meditation includes:
- Breath-based grounding and visualization of a spacious landscape
- Reflection on divine spaciousness as a symbol of God’s loving Presence
- A mythic framework that imagines God’s unspoken Word echoing within each thought
- The use of the phrase “echo, echo” to gently label thoughts and return to stillness
- A spacious, imaginative approach to encountering the divine through awareness
This contemplative practice is intended as a quiet space for deep listening, spiritual reflection, and awakening to the sacred mystery at the heart of everyday experience.
