In this meditation, Sister Annabel (Chan Duc) invites us to connect with the four elements within us - earth, fire, water and air - and contemplate how this connects us to the natural world; to the clouds, snow, rain, sunshine, rivers, atmosphere, wind and forests.
In this way, we are able to identify that there is no separation between us and nature; that Mother Earth exists within us - and that if we look deeply, we can recognise the concept of interbeing (the interconnectedness of all things in the universe) in any given moment.
This meditation is taken from Chapter 3, Exercise 17, of The Blooming of a Lotus (Revised & Expanded), published in 2022.
