Treasure Keeper: From Shadow Work to Sacred Wisdom - Nature Meditation {Underland Series part 3}

Welcome to Part 3 of our Underland meditation series — the final journey into our inner depths. Over the past two weeks, we've learned to linger in uncomfortable spaces and discover gifts hidden in our shadows. Today, we complete this transformative journey by learning how to protect and preserve the wisdom we've unearthed.Inspired by ancient traditions of burying treasure for safekeeping, this episode explores how our underground consciousness can serve as both a storage place for pain AND a vault for our most precious insights. Host Meryl Arnett shares why journaling after meditation isn't just helpful — it's essential for integrating the "message of the heart" that emerges from deep practice.What You'll Learn:How to capture non-linear meditation insights and daydreamsThe ancient wisdom of "sheltering" precious discoveriesThe three-step Underland process: descend, mine value, shelter wisdomRelated Episodes: Listen to Parts 1 and 2 of the Underland series for the complete journey of descending into difficult spaces and mining value from shadow work.Journal Prompts: After your meditation, spend 2-5 minutes writing down what you saw, thought, remembered, felt, or daydreamed — even if it seems nonsensical. This is your inner treasure worth preserving.Podcast Break NoticeOur Mindful Nature will be taking a brief hiatus for the holiday season.

The Underland Journey Part 2: A Nature Meditation for Self-Discovery and Inner Wisdom

Welcome to Part 2 of our Underland meditation series. Last week we explored the underground as a place to dispose of what is harmful — trauma, secrets, and pain. This week, we venture deeper to discover the treasure, wisdom, and insight waiting for us in those shadowed spaces.Inspired by Robert Macfarlane's book Underland, this meditation uses the metaphor of underground cave exploration to guide you through narrow, uncomfortable passages toward expansive inner caverns of insight. Like Alice's journey down the rabbit hole, this practice invites chaos and uncertainty as pathways to profound self-discovery.What You'll Experience:Guided progressive relaxation from skin through fascia, muscle, and boneExtended silent meditation for deep inner explorationAmazon rainforest nature soundscapePractice softening resistance rather than fighting your experienceTools for working with difficult meditation sessionsPerfect for:Meditation practitioners ready for deeper shadow workAnyone struggling with dark or difficult meditation experiencesThose seeking self-discovery and inner wisdomPeople working through trauma or emotional healingClaustrophobic feelings in meditation or lifeRelated Episodes: Listen to Entering The Underland: Nature Meditation for Processing Fear and Underground Healing {part 1} for the complete exploration of disposing of what is harmful before mining for inner treasure.Content Warning: This episode discusses trauma, shadow work, and difficult emotions.

Entering The Underland: Nature Meditation for Processing Fear and Underground Healing {part 1}

Not all meditation asks us to find the light; sometimes we need to explore the darkness. In this first episode of the October Underland series, meditation teacher Meryl Arnett invites you to stop running from your fears and instead turn around to face them. Inspired by Robert Macfarlane's book Underland, this episode and meditation practice explores what happens when we acknowledge the darkness, both within ourselves and in the world around us, rather than trying to escape it.If you've been feeling overwhelmed by political chaos, buried trauma, or simply the weight of difficult emotions you've pushed underground, this meditation will help you understand why staying present to discomfort is the path to genuine healing and transformation.What To ExpectUnderstanding the "underland" as both physical space (caves, burial sites) and metaphorical space (the unconscious, buried trauma)The wisdom of the Three of Swords tarot card: discovering hope at the very center of griefA guided meditation practice with immersive Amazon Rainforest soundscapes from field recordist Nick McMahanAn invitation to acknowledge what we've disposed of, buried, or hidden that needs our attentionPerfect ForAnyone feeling overwhelmed by political anxiety or helplessness in the face of global eventsMeditation practitioners ready to explore deeper, shadow work through contemplative practicePeople processing buried trauma, grief, or difficult emotionsPractitioners interested in nature-based meditation with authentic soundscapesMeditation DetailsLength: 22 minutesStyle: Guided meditation with 7-minute silent practice periodPosition: Lying down or seated (your choice)Soundscape: Amazon Rainforest field recordings by Nature Field Recordist Nick McMahanBest for: Anxiety relief, processing fear, shadow work, trauma acknowledgment, political overwhelm, deep relaxationJoin Meryl throughout October as we explore the underland: what we've disposed of (harmful thoughts and buried trauma), what we can yield (minerals and metaphors), and what we shelter (precious matter and memories).Next episode: Discover what happens when we soften enough to yield the value and wisdom hidden in our darkness.Sign up for my newsletter at http://eepurl.com/jjPrV2 to receive free mini meditations and soundscapes each week, along with creative musings and more.New episodes every Monday (just the meditation) and Thursday (a full meditation class).Learn more or contact me at https://www.merylarnett.com/.
