Welcome to the first episode of The Mindful Creature! We begin with a meditation inspired by one of my favorite songbirds, the Song Sparrow.
Song Sparrows are one of the most recognizable Sparrows and share their sweet song across the North American continent. What inspiration and wisdom will she share with you today?
And I hope you’ll notice throughout these meditations that although the primary singers in the songbird world are male, I often refer to the birds as she or they, to balance out the energy and care for all humxns that may be listening.
Wandering Prompt: How can the friendship and insight of Song Sparrow, inspire your daily life this week?
Listen to the friendly tunes of the Song Sparrow:

Note: As always, please do not listen to meditations while doing something that requires your full attention and eyes always open, such as driving.
I'll see you in the Wild,
