Sez KristiansenAn Ode To Idleness - Permission To PauseThis piece is a gentle ode to idleness—a meditation on the quiet, miraculous fullness found in simply sitting, watching, and being. With the sea as a companion and the sky as a witness, we explore how presence asks nothing of us but attention. In a world that constantly demands productivity, this poem offers permission to pause, to be thoroughly unuseful, and yet feel more whole than ever. Through images of waves, wind, and distant sails, we are reminded that being present with whatever arises can be one of the deepest spiritual 'achievements'. If this reflection speaks to...2025-07-3003 minSez KristiansenThe Moon Speaks In Oneness - A Poetic Reflection On Interbeing// A Spotify Exclusive //This poem is a quiet ode to the cosmic woven into the domestic — how even the simplest gestures can become sacred when seen through the eyes of wonder. It’s a reminder that we are not separate from the universe, but shaped by the same forces that form stars, radishes, and tenderness.🌙 To receive new audio poems like this one every week, become a member of my patron-only Substack: SEZ ON SUBSTACK. These poems are exclusive to my closest listeners, woven with care, and meant to meet you in your own unf...2025-07-0103 minSez KristiansenWhole Minded - Returning To Undivided PresenceSometimes, we need to use a different word in order to let Grace in. In this meditation, I explore 'presence' as another name for Self, Oneness, and Reality—so we can deepen our somatic experience of the undivided now. Whether you're seeking peace, clarity, healing, or a sense of belonging, this inquiry invites you to rediscover Wholeness - not as something to achieve, but as something that we already ARE. Even pain becomes a doorway back into inclusion when we realize what holds it is inherently complete and loving. I don't want to add more words to our conceptual un...2025-06-2123 minSez KristiansenThe Tree That Forgot Itself: A Guided Journey Into TruthThis immersive meditation uses the metaphor of a tree to guide us through the illusion of separation and the quiet journey back to our true nature. Through poetic reflection and direct felt experience, we explore how thought becomes identity, how suffering arises through forgetting, and how, like the tree, we can return to the peace that never left us. A powerful invitation to simplify 'enlightenment', to see clearly the dualistic nature of thought, and to remember yourself home. Please forgive my use of “it” when referring to the tree in this meditation. For the sake of clarity in th...2025-05-2224 minSez KristiansenDaily Remembrances For Wholeness - What Remains Of Us?This track is a daily invitation to return—to yourself, to presence, to the unshakable truth that you are already whole. It is a reminder that nothing in life needs to be fixed or figured out for you to belong to it completely. Through surrender and by offering a radical presence to all experiences, you are guided to embrace uncertainty, failure, longing, and love without resistance. Let these words be a refuge, a steadying force in the midst of change, and a call to live with more ease, depth, and trust in the unfolding of life. May this also se...2025-05-1208 minSez KristiansenI Am Nature - A Poem Exploring Who We AreIn this soundscape laced with gentle words, you’ll be guided into a reflective and sensory-rich journey through the natural world and your place within it. Blending poetic language with grounded presence, this poem explores what it means to belong to life, not as something separate, but as life itself becoming aware. You'll be invited to soften the boundaries between self and world, and to rest in the quiet knowing that you are nature, making sense of itself. I have hand-gathered the nature soundscapes from New South Wales in Australia, where we hear the unique 'whip-crack' sounds from the Wh...2025-04-3003 minSez KristiansenSelf As Earth - Returning To Our Shared BeingIn this poetic, guided meditation, we explore the illusion of a separate, exalted "higher self" and instead uncover the wholeness that has always been here—woven into our being, inseparable from life itself. Through guided reflection and deep presence, you’ll be invited to see the self not as something to transcend but as a vast, interconnected relationship—like a forest sustained by unseen forces.By releasing the spiritualized striving for a "better" self, we return to the intelligence of nature, where growth is not a personal achievement but a harmonious unfolding. This meditation is an invitation to res...2025-04-1629 min

Each word is crafted to echo in the quiet spaces of your soul, uncovering truths that gently whisper to your knowingness - that you are ok, you are enough, you are what you seek. This experience invites you to explore the living landscapes within, reconnecting you with the essence of who you are. Cultivated from the more feminine-rooted teachings of nonduality, this affirmation touches on elements of ecopsychology and nature-based healing, helping you remember your innate, inherent, and ever-present wholeness. Thank you f...2024-05-2013 minSez KristiansenRise & Receive - Experiencing Intimacy, Support, And EaseThis audio has been created to deepen my free experiential meditation, The Unbound Self. As you wake up, come into your body through your sense perception and discover how much the mind creates your day ahead of time with ideas of effort and struggle. In this talk/meditation/reflection, we are asked to stay in bed while we make contact with what is already here through our direct experience, which already offers itself to our longings of comfort, ease, and abundance. It will take a willing softness to shift away from what we've learned about achieving certain...2024-03-1116 minSez KristiansenThe Unbound Self - Unravelling Lack from it's Mental NarrativeAttempting to fail as gracefully as I can at articulating the experience of our selfless, true nature. This meditation is full of intentional questions that will help you unbind your egoic sense of self from its narrative, freeing the story of emotional pain and lack from its root cause; our forgetfulness of who we truly are. This visualization blends thoughtful music, nature scapes, and the non-dual realization of ‘no-self’ with direct experience, aiming to ground you, rather than dissociate you further from your innate sense of wholeness. Let me know how your experience was if you feel call...2024-02-2847 minSez KristiansenThis year in one word - and how to remember your indivisible wholenessThis episode is taken from my last free newsletter of 2023!

The colonized mind pollutes our ability to recognize our essential nature by creating a protective small self that relies on the external world. However, we also have a Wild Mind, a metaphor for how natural, spontaneous, and organic our minds can be when we leave them to regenerate, compost & expand themselves. From our rewilded and transparent mind, we are better able to recognize our undivided Self. This 20-minute talk and 15-minute meditation have to complement soundscapes and wildcrafted...2023-12-2139 minSez KristiansenThe Wild & The Whole Self - A Somatic ExperienceRead, watch & listen to this monthly newsletter here on SUBSTACK.________This experience has been wildcrafted from time in the Wild. It offers us a somatic experience of presence, which can help us heal by bringing us down to earth.

Returning to who we are, therefore, means leaving what we know - those coping strategies (caves) - that no longer serve us.
