The Frosted Forest Meditation

<p style="text-align:center;">“It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it.” John Burroughs</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">We are well inside the caves of winter on this wondrous day.  Today, as we adventure mindfully out on our walk, stay open to the possibilities for magic and awe.  Allow your heart’s creativity to affect your perceptions.</p> <p style="text-align:center;">Today’s mindful adventure will take us on an imaginative journey, out, and back again.  Ideally, as you walk this week, setting out with your practice to connect with nature;</p> <p style="text-align:center;">you may infuse some of this imaginative time into your wakeful reality, and see how that feels.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">All creations begin in the heart and mind and slowly make their way into the physical worlds we inhabit.</p> <p style="text-align:center;">Our breath leads us out of the mind’s anxieties into places where we can find what we seek.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">That may be peace, or inspiration, relaxation or guided answers. All of it is available, once we clear</p> <p style="text-align:center;">the mind’s busy cobwebs.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">Now lets get to imagining, shall we?</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
