A mindful companion to this worksheet
“Sky Gazing” is an invitation to slow down and meet your experience with curiosity, honesty, and kindness.
Mindfulness offers a steady place to stand while you work with any topic. Instead of being carried along by reaction, we notice what is here, sensations, thoughts, and feelings, and respond from presence rather than pressure.
Insight does not arrive on a schedule. Trust the practice of returning, and the honesty you bring each time you do.
Sky Gazing is a method of connecting your gaze with nature. It begins by extending the gaze toward the sky or horizon, and then slowly bringing it downward to focus on a nearby tree or a plant.
The worksheet traces the practice to the Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen tradition. You settle with a few slow breaths, open your awareness to the sky above you, let thoughts pass like clouds, and return to the breath whenever you like. Please never look directly at the sun.
