ZC 2122: Under Open Skies: How to Meditate Outside


Listen Later

In today’s episode of Zen Commuter, we take our practice beyond four walls and into the wide embrace of nature. Meditating outside offers a unique opportunity to reconnect—not just with the present moment, but with the world around us. Whether it’s a quiet park bench, a forest trail, or your own backyard, outdoor meditation invites you to soften your senses, anchor your awareness, and find peace in the rhythm of the natural world. I’ll share how to begin, what to notice, and how to embrace whatever sounds or sensations arise—yes, even the distractions.

🔹 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
  • Why meditating outside can deepen your connection to presence and peace

  • How to handle common distractions like wind, noise, or movement

  • The best outdoor spaces for different meditation moods and needs

  • A simple grounding practice you can use anywhere—no cushion required

  • How nature becomes both your teacher and your support in stillness
