11 years ago, this podcast began as a simple gift for a handful of meditation students. Today, with the most full heart, I want to say thank you.⁠⁠Thank you for inviting me on your walks, your commutes, and into your sleepless nights. Thank you for letting me be a part of your healing and your celebrations. Thank you for trusting me with your attention, something so precious.⁠⁠This podcast has always been made with love and without shortcuts. Every meditation written by hand. Every nature soundscape truly recorded outside by people who deeply love the natural world. ⁠⁠I am so wildly grateful for the team that made this possible — my incredible producer Brianna Nielsen, the remarkable nature field recordist and acoustic ecologist Nick McMahan, and exceptional acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton. I couldn't be more proud of what we created together.⁠⁠You have given me one of the greatest gifts of my life. I will never stop being grateful for that.⁠⁠#ourmindfulnature #mindfulliving #meditationpodcast #natureinspired #gratitude by @merylarnett

And just like that, our final episode is out in the world. 💛⁠⁠If there's one thing 11 years of this practice has taught me, is that mindfulness isn't measured by how peacefully we meditate. It's measured by how lovingly we participate in our lives.⁠⁠So keep practicing. ⁠⁠In your kitchen, in the carpool line, at the polling place, beneath the trees. Not because it makes you calmer or more productive, but because the world needs people who know how to pay attention.⁠⁠Thank you for being one of those people. ⁠Thank you for practicing alongside me all these years. 🙏🏼⁠⁠Your mindful nature has been with you all along. 💛⁠⁠#ourmindfulnature #mindfulliving #mindfulness #natureinspired #meditationpodcast by @merylarnett

In this week's episode of Our Mindful Nature, Nicki Sizemore talked about washing her hands before cooking, something she already did every night, and how simply becoming present to that act turned it into one of her favorite rituals. ⁠⁠No extra time. ⁠No special tools. ⁠Just intention. ⁠⁠What moment in your day is waiting for that? Share below — I'd love to hear what comes up for you.⁠⁠#ourmindfulnature #journalprompt #mindfulliving #mindfulnessinthekitchen by @merylarnett

Nicki said something in this week's episode that I haven't stopped thinking about...⁠⁠She went 20 years in the food industry before she ever thought to bring her breath into the kitchen. And when she finally did, it changed things. ⁠⁠Where are you leaving your practice behind? ⁠⁠Didn't catch this week's episode?

What if the cooking process was the nourishment? ⁠⁠Nicki Sizemore spent 20 years focused on the outcome — the beautiful plate, the perfect recipe. And she's the first to admit it took something away.⁠⁠In this week's episode, she shares what shifted when she stopped racing toward dinner on the table and started actually being in the kitchen.⁠⁠This one hit close to home. 🎧Listen to this all new episode of Our Mindful Nature wherever you get your podcasts. ⁠⁠#mindfulcooking #ourmindfulnature #mindfulliving #kitchenmindfulness #slowliving by @merylarnett

This week I'm sharing a conversation that I think a lot of you are going to feel deeply. ⁠⁠Nicki Sizemore found her way back to her kitchen, and to herself, through some of the simplest mindfulness practices. And she brought all of it into her new cookbook, Mind, Body, Spirit, Food. ⁠⁠This new episode of Our Mindful Nature will be live this Thursday. 🎧⁠⁠#mindfulcooking #ourmindfulnature #mindfulliving #kitchenmindfulness #slowliving by @merylarnett

Dr. Ashanté Reese reminded me this week that everyone has a pleasurable food memory. ⁠⁠A meal that made you feel at home.⁠A table where you felt truly seen. ⁠A recipe that connects you to someone you've lost. ⁠⁠What's yours? Share in the comments. I'd love to hear.⁠⁠#journalprompt #ourmindfulnature #mindfulnessinthekitchen #mindfulliving by @merylarnett

I keep coming back to something Dr. Ashanté Reese said in this week's episode of Our Mindful Nature. ⁠⁠She said that nourishment, by its very definition, is communal. It requires more than one person. ⁠⁠The farmers, the hands that cooked, the people gathered at the table. All of it. ⁠⁠Our mindfulness practice is the same way. It doesn't stay on the cushion. It ripples out. ⁠⁠Head to your favorite podcast app and listen to "Beyond the Cushion: Food, Gathering, and Community as Mindfulness Practice" to hear more from Ashanté.⁠⁠#ourmindfulnature #mindfulliving #nourishment #blackfoodculture #meditationpodcast by @merylarnett

What if showing up for a stranger is the mindfulness practice? ⁠⁠Dr. Ashanté Reese talked about mutual aid in this week's episode of Our Mindful Nature, and why it might be one of the most radical acts of presence we can offer each other.⁠⁠The way she connects community care, nourishment, and what it means to truly see another person as a neighbor and an equal… it's everything this podcast has always been about.⁠⁠Full episode is live now.
