Ep 6. Remembering You Are Nature
In this episode of Climate Courage, clinical psychologist Emily Toner explores how reconnecting with nature—and our own inner nature—can help us cultivate joy, resilience, and clarity in the midst of stress, uncertainty, and the challenges of modern life.
Today’s episode gets straight into a guided practice, an invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember that everything we need to live fully and meaningfully is already within us. By embracing both our discomfort and our expansiveness, we begin to restore our inner world, which in turn strengthens our ability to meet the urgent needs of the outer world.
✨ In this practice, you’ll learn how to:
- Create space for joy, contentment, and peace in daily life—even when overwhelmed
- Recognise how our emotions, both difficult and uplifting, are part of our rich inner nature
- Reconnect to the awe and wisdom of the natural world within and around you
- Strengthen resilience, active acceptance and wellbeing in the face of everyday stressors
This meditation and reflection is not just about personal peace—it’s about contributing to collective resilience. Every moment you nurture your inner nature, you help build the foundation for communities capable of creativity, courage, and meaningful change.
🌿 Take this time to come home to yourself. You are nature—fully alive, fully awake.
