Meditation Extract: Heart Messages from the Underland - Guided Nature Practice
Just the Meditation: This 10-minute guided meditation invites you deep underground to listen for the "message of the heart." Using progressive body softening and breath awareness, you'll descend into your inner underland to discover what wisdom awaits in the shadows.This meditation is excerpted from our Underland Part 3 episode. Listen to Monday's full episode for context and teachings on journaling your meditation insights and sheltering inner wisdom.Set against calming nature sounds of the Amazon rainforest, this underground meditation guides you through a unique practice of softening and listening. Rather than rushing through your practice, you'll learn to linger in the depths of consciousness, allowing whatever wants to emerge — whether worries, memories, phrases, images, or daydreams — to surface naturally.What You'll Experience:* Guided descent into underground consciousness* Progressive body softening from face to belly* Extended silent meditation for deep inner listening* Practice of witnessing thoughts, stories, and heart messages* Gentle return with breath awareness and movement* High-quality nature soundscape from the Amazon Rainforest for immersionPost-Practice Suggestion: Have a journal nearby to capture any insights, images, or messages that emerged during your practice — even if they seem nonsensical at first.Podcast Break NoticeOur Mindful Nature will be taking a brief hiatus for the holiday season.
