Hello,

It’s always been plants for me. At least, it was until I started my sit spot practice.

For most of my career, it’s the plant world that has been my doorway to Nature. The fact that plants are medicine, so tickled my interest that I narrowed my focus even further. My way of practicing “deep nature connection” has been to connect with specific plants and to learn deeply from them.

Building these friendships with specific types of plants (and sometimes even individual plants), it turns out is only one way to do the “nature connection” thing.

I’m telling this story because of how the Sit Spot practice has helped deepen my relationship with what I’ll call “nonfocused” Nature, in that you’re using both your peripheral vision and expanding your awareness of everything around you.

It’s a remarkable practice that is builds your resilience and sense of inner resource.

So please, check out my take on the Sit Spot (with credit and gratitude to the 8 Shields movement)…

then you can post a comment and share your sit spot story…

Is this different than your practice in some way? What do you do differently?

Post a comment and let me know :)
