This powerful guided meditation available on the free Plum Village App https://plumvillage.app/ is about our inter-connected relation with Mother Earth.

This video consists of three parts:
1. Introduction 00:00
2. Morning chant 6:47
3. Guided meditation 12:17

"Breathing in, I recognize that Mother Earth is sick. That climate disruption is a manifestation of a grave illness and imbalance in her elements.
Breathing out, I contemplate on how her sickness is reflected in the sickness and suffering in humans and other species, as antibiotic resistant infections, pandemics, devastating floods, wildfires, species extinctions, ....

Mother Earth is sick.
Therefore we are sick."

There is only one way out. We have to heal ourselves. Healing ourselves we will heal the Earth at the same time. It is a daily practice of cultivating presence and awareness, which will change our habits and bring about wholesome transformation and true healing.

Enjoy your meditation!
