As summer shifts toward fall, the fields and trees hum with the steady chorus of crickets and cicadas. In this episode of Traveling Wild Mind, host Kervin Thomas explores how these sounds, can often be dismissed as background noise, but become a rhythm for mindfulness.

From the persistence of cicadas to the gentle pulse of crickets, we’ll listen for the lessons in repetition, presence, and the beauty of simply showing up. With guided breathing and reflection, this less than 10-minute journey invites you to step outside at dusk, pause, and hear the heartbeat of the wild.

Perfect for anyone looking to slow down, tune in, and rediscover calm in the everyday sounds of nature.

In a world that’s always rushing, what does it mean to be still?
In this episode of Traveling Wild Mind, we slow down and explore the quiet presence of nature—the way moss creeps across stone, the subtle life inside a tree, and the difference between silence and true stillness.

You’ll discover how to sync your breath with the rhythm of trees, and how paying attention to what seems unmoving can open up a deeper awareness of life happening just beneath the surface.

Take 10 minutes to pause, notice, and feel the calm beneath the leaves.

Birdsong is everywhere—but how often do we truly listen?

In this episode of Traveling Wild Mind, I explore the quiet presence of birds and what it means to listen without needing to understand. Through mindful reflection and soft field sounds, we’re invited to slow down, tune in, and find peace in the rhythms of nature’s original storytellers.

Whether you’re walking, resting, or just needing a break from the noise—this episode is a gentle reminder that not all language needs translation.
