Mindfulness Check In December 08
Hello, all of you!!
How are you today? I hope everyone is doing alright.
So I was thinking that some parts of the world might be under the snow, while some parts might start feeling cold. For some parts of the world, the night would be getting longer and for others, maybe days getting longer.
Nature is mindful.
And you could also practice mindfulness by paying attention to nature. Observe how the wind changing, or how leaves getting greener or pale. Or how the sky is at night. Filled with the stars? Or, filled with cloud and no star.
And you know observing nature can be calming and soothing.
So what is your experience to observe nature? How is it at your place?
Share with us and let's become mindful towards our beautiful nature.

@ASilentObserver
following the path of the days, the moon, seasons and other nature cycles brings us to a greaterawareness of ourselves. We are a part of nature.
@DavidEss
I also really like comparing how similar the human experience is to nature's cycles.
@SentientiaPoecile I cannot agree more Poe <3
@DavidEss absolutely David. Agree with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts <3
I was thinking the other day about how i really don't prefer Winter, being harder to take walks outside, and i just dislike being so cold. But i got out for a walk then anyway, and i found it so quiet, crisp, and refreshing. I also like the reminder when i look at nature in the winter, that things can seemingly be falling apart, dying, changing... almost as if they're coming to an end... but really they're just getting ready for the next phase Spring. The trees don't necessarily know that they are about to bloom again. Kinda like when things can feel so dark for us for a time, but really we might turn that corner unexpectedly at any time.
I can attest that this sort of thing really does happen.
@SentientiaPoecile wow poe, what an amazing thoughts and efforts. I appreciate it <3
These days we still have the fall feels into our winter...The yellow/brown leaves are everywhere. Ssometime we wake up to some very cold -yet sunny-mornings, the car windows would be covered with a gentle touch of freezing layer, that fades slowly with the heat from inside the car...
@soufy nice observation soufy. Glad to see you here <3
@ASilentObserver
So what is your experience to observe nature? How is it at your place?
I live in Florida and miss the leaves changing colors like they do in New York where i am from. Right now We are eperiencing cooler temps and colder nights which when we do I love sleeping with a window cracked and falling asleep.
@pamharley003 thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts on how nature is at your place and what you miss. I can get it. <3 Glad to see your thoughts. Thank you
Weve moved into the gray, cold and rainy part of the year. Maybe some snow later. I like the cooler temperatures,
@MissPen good to hear you like cool temperature, however, stay warm Pen. Glad to see your thoughts on nature observation. liked it. thank you <3
I always feel at home in the woods. It brings this calm and healing.
@Tinycupcake aww seems serene and beautiful cupcake. <3
@ASilentObserver My soul always longs for the forest
@ASilentObserver nature reminds me of the natural order that goes on and on. It shows me something greater than myself that I am part of. Nature is a world without thoughts just the flow of life itself. I marvel at the flow and try to attune myself to that.
@soulsings woah, soul. so true and amazing words about nature. I agree.Thank you for sharing your amazing thoughts
@soulsings
I agree. When I think that there are forces at play larger than me, it really helps me on those days when I might be feeling like I have no place or am worthless. Thinking about nature and how everything works together to make the earth work, somehow I am forced to see my own worth and belonging.
@ASilentObserver thank you for this beautiful post , it made me cry lil bit . Yes we do forget that we are mindful and we blame ourselves for the things we do ... this reminds me to stop hating things about myself and things about others , cuz we are just like the soil under the snow while other parts in us can be clearly shinning ... in fact , you get hurt but at the same time you would be getting so much from that person that has harmed you in some way, we are never useless no one is , it cant be . i love the mountain and the sky its beautiful.
If its ok i want to share this song , thanks.

HI Silent thank you for this check-in
Over here by me-it's a bit chilly but also sunny. I notice the sun on me as I was getting my oil changed today. Heard the birds chattering over their breakfast this morning. I see the clouds floating in the sky. I do notice nature a lot and love it
In my south Florida day today I can hear the wind going through the palm trees. I see the lizards and iguanas scurrying and running away when I walk. I feel the warm hot sunshine overhead and on my back. I smell the sea air. I hear the ocean waves crashing. I see the orchid plants tied to the trees but no blossoms yet, but I see they're still green and I feel hopeful that they will bloom again soon. I see the lush green fern plants and huge tropical elephant ear palms and feel thankful for the cool shade beneath them. I smell the water from the canal nearby and see the sunlight dancing and sparkling on it when the tide moves the water inward, taking leaves and small bugs with it for a few hours until it changes again. I see pelicans flying above in formations. I hear lots of pigeons cooing and see them and their droppings on my balcony.
