Virtual meditations tips: If possible, participating virtually from a patio or yard can be a fun way of exploring your own connection to the Earth. If this isn't possible, a view to a window with sounds or a view from the outdoors can also work. Even just having a houseplant, stones, shells or a pet nearby - any element of the natural world to make a connection with!
