This first meditation in the Permission to Pause series invites you to gently return to your body through sensory awareness and quiet presence, guided by the steady companionship of the natural world.
Give yourself permission to slow down with this guided meditation inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. This ~23-minute audio can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors and paused anytime to linger longer. For a richer experience, consider bringing a journal as you settle in and a favorite tea or snack to close the experience.

There is nothing to achieve here. Come as you are. Pause when you need. Let nature meet you where you are today.
