During your meditation then the next step is to open your eyes to look at the object once more. You’ll likely notice there are a few components in the object that you did not pick up the first time around. Consciously intend to look for these nuances you might have missed. Try to look at the things within the object that most normal people would not see. Start to look for the ‘uninteresting’ components of the object and bring them into your consciousness.

Once you’ve studied the object once more, then gently close your eyes and once more see the object inside your mind’s eye. Start with what you know about the object and then try to add various layers to it. Attempt to visualize as much detail as you can inside your mind’s eye.

Then whenever you feel you’ve seen as much depth in your mind’s eye as you possibly can, next open up your eyes and once more and study the object for particulars you may have missed. Then shut your eyes again and see what you can see inside your mind’s eye. Doing this detailed inspection of the object, closing your eyes and viewing it inside your mind’s eye strengthens your inner vision. You can use this method throughout your day whenever you get the chance to reinforce your inner vision even more.

After a certain time period of meditation you’ll be able to visualize objects within your mind’s eye while having your eyes open.

Just like just before whenever you go to see a buddy, you will most likely see them in your mind’s eye and dwell on experiences you’ve had together and feel nearer to them. Similarly when beginning to connect in to the land. You’re forming a more powerful link with the land by visualizing what it’s like being there.

You can also do the same together with your listening as well. Prior to heading towards the location of my heart walk, I spend some time listening to what it’s like being there. I imagine what the birds sound like. I imagine what the rustle in the wind in the leaves sounds like. And I picture what the sound of the earth makes beneath my feet whilst I stroll throughout the bush. Like I’m imagining in my mind’s eye not just what I’m seeing at the place I’m drawn to but additionally what I am hearing.

Utilizing meditation techniques on your nature stroll allows you to form a deeper connection.
