Earth Walks
Betty Sue has been meditating for a good part of her life, at times not even realizing that what she was doing was considered meditation. Walking and staying present as you do so, is a powerful meditation. Walking is… easy (for the most part), available to practice anywhere and free. Her love of nature and deep belief in nature’s healing powers brought Betty Sue to experience walking meditation. It freed her from the constant clutter of thoughts rolling through her mind. Betty Sue temporarily stepped off the meditation mat and started putting foot to ground - out of her reverence for this process she has created “earth walks”.
An earth walk meditation can be just as profound as sitting meditation, and has the advantage of bringing the meditative experience into your activity. We will start with a guided grounding visualization and will journey at the pace perfect for each individual. As an intuitive, Betty Sue will read the energy of the group, the landscape and with the guidance of Gaia will determine the direction of that day’s meditation. Since earth walks are not focused on physical fitness as much as mental/spiritual fitness, the walks will not be strenuous. Guided walks can last anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour – again, this is dependent on the wishes of the group.
Hundreds of studies suggest that meditation doesn’t just decrease stress levels but that it also has tangible health benefits such as improved immunity, lower inflammation and decreased pain. Additionally, brain-imaging studies show that meditation sharpens attention and memory. Perhaps most importantly, it has been linked to increased happiness and greater compassion.
It is a simple process with no prior experience needed. If you are mobile-challenged in any way (prosthetics, wheelchair) the process will be adapted for your benefit. The only thing to bring to an earth walk is an open heart and mind.
Betty Sue is offering guided group earth walks, as well as, guided private walks for a deeper personal connection.
Healing by Nature is a sacred, tranformational space. In this vibrant and safe space, energetically maintained by Betty Sue, you can come to know what it truly feels like to be yourself as a spiritual being exploring yourself in body.
