The nature of the whole
One-minute meditation
I invite you to take a few deep breaths as you choose your preferred music below, enjoy the stunning natural scenery, and reflect on the following words of wisdom from Marcus Aurelius:

Always keep the following points in mind: what the nature of the whole is, and what my own nature is; and how my nature is related to that of the whole, and what kind of a part it is of what kind of a whole, and that no one can prevent you, in all that you do and say, from always being in accord with that nature of which you are a part.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 2.9
Fantastic way to start our day.
Love the medieval tunes and a good quote! Reminds me of Epictetus’ role ethics too - think about where you fit in in the whole (human society) and play your part well. 😊
