No-one Can Make You Feel Anything
Liz Scott
It’s such a relief to realise that no one else has the power to make you feel a certain way. In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz shares a couple of stories that show how, even when it seems like someone can upset or insult you, that’s never truly the case. Once you understand the power of your own thoughts, you see that words and beliefs have no built-in power of their own. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

The True Meaning Of Forgiveness
Liz Scott
What does forgiveness mean to you? Is it excusing bad behaviour or allowing someone to get away with something inappropriate? In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz explores forgiveness as looking beyond someone’s behaviour and reconnecting with the deeper energy of love. It’s about releasing the feeling of being hard done by and finding your own solid ground. You can forgive someone while still letting them know their behaviour is not acceptable ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

Ever feel stuck, unsure which way to turn?
Liz Scott
In a culture that prizes quick decisions, ‘not knowing’ can feel like a flaw—but it’s actually a deeply human place to be. In this episode, Liz explores the art of sitting with uncertainty, discovering that it’s okay to pause, reflect, and embrace the unknown rather than rush or feel anxious. Tune in to hear how accepting not knowing can open space for clarity, growth, and calm. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

What Does Success Truly Mean For You?
Liz Scott
As Liz heads out for a walk with a neighbour’s dog, she reflects on how her old definition of success was shaped by other people’s expectations—job titles, income, external approval. But on a sunlit autumn day, sitting on a rock on Dartmoor, she realises that her life in this very moment feels like the truest expression of success. There’s nowhere else she’d rather be, and nothing more she’d rather be doing. Join Liz as she explores how our understanding of success can shift, soften, and ultimately come home to what feels genuinely meaningful. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster...

The Freedom Of Not Believing Every Thought
Liz Scott
Did you know that thoughts are naturally neutral until we give them energy? In today’s 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz compares thoughts to leaves drifting down a river. If we simply watch them float by, they pass without impact. But the moment we pick a leaf—the thought—out of the river, we start to believe it’s true. It’s liberating to realise: you don’t have to believe every thought that pops up during your day. Let them drift, and they will naturally move on. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer. Each day on , I share 5 Minutes in...

The Space Between Plans
Liz Scott
Are you someone who clings tightly to your goals? Or perhaps you lean the other way, moving through life guided by spontaneity. In today’s 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on her own tendency to hold fast to plans — and how that rigidity can sometimes keep her from flowing with life. Lately, the universe has been inviting her to practice flexibility. Ultimately, she’s discovering that the real compass lies within. By listening for inner wisdom and trusting intuition, the path becomes clearer and more aligned. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight...

The Balance We’ve Lost — and the Women Rising to Restore It
Liz Scott
What happens when masculine and feminine energies fall out of balance in our world? As Liz reflects on the strength and wisdom of older women, she notices how often they retreat instead of stepping forward into their power. Earlier this year, during a pilgrimage along the Michael and Mary energy lines in the UK, she witnessed firsthand how these two currents symbolize the harmony that comes from balance. It’s a lesson that has stayed with her — and one she’s inspired to explore more deeply. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer. Each day...

The Art Of Not Feeding Your Thoughts
Liz Scott
If you find yourself caught up in restless or anxious thoughts, imagine them as an over-excited puppy. In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz shares a story about visiting a lively puppy that became even more jumpy and nippy the more attention it received. The calmer the visitor became, the more the puppy settled. Our unsettled thoughts work much the same way—when we stop feeding them with attention, they naturally quiet down on their own. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

Liz Scott

In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz observes a family of cygnets shedding their soft grey feathers as they transform into elegant swans.
