Sitting for the Trees
This meditation was inspired by the upsetting news of the possible disappearance the beech trees in Switzerland, the country’s most common tree. They struggle with the heat and drought.
You have a choice of the full, immersive version or just the 7 minutes of metta/kindness for the trees. The long version ends with the metta meditation.
The Tuesday Meditations are guided meditations. We simply sit (and walk or move) in the presence of what is alive in and around us. They are not a Sensory Awareness class, though the approach is similar, a Sensory Awareness approach to insight meditation, usually a spontaneous improvisation on a theme requested by the participants. The general format is 20 minutes sitting / 10 minutes walking / 20 minutes sitting.
