What is Cloudwatching®?

This isn’t another “do more” meditation method. No forced stillness. No scripted breathing.
It’s the opposite—a moment to just be. Set an intention and focus on your comfort. Lie back, look up at the infinite sky, and allow peace and stillness to unfold naturally.
Let the sky be your meditation space.

Let the sky be your meditation space.

The Cloudwatching Method by Dr. Letty Flohr is a daily 5-minute open-eye meditation. It’s a simple way to slow down and move into a calm, intuitive state under the majestic, ever-changing sky. Clouds are not required.

The key components and science behind the method

Cloudwatching brings together four science-backed elements. Each is powerful on its own, and even more potent together in guiding you into rest, balance, and clarity.

  1. 01 Lying Down
    Relaxes muscles, slows breathing and heart rate, and quiets the brain, helping your body shift out of “go mode.”
  2. 02 Panoramic Vision
    Signals safety, relieves screen fatigue, and restores focus, letting your eyes guide you into calm.
  3. 03 Natural Sunlight
    Supports healthy circadian rhythms, brightens mood, boosts daytime alertness, and promotes sleep quality.
  4. 04 Awe
    Gazing at the infinite, majestic sky can trigger wonder, shift your perspective, and reconnect you with beauty and something greater than yourself.
  5. 05 Comfort & safety
    Being comfortable and secure allows your body to let go, your eyes to soften, and your mind to settle, deepening the benefits of the other elements.

What People are saying
Having time to oneself to just sit there and think about nothing is quite fun and calms your brain down.
College Student
Love the way the mind goes quiet as the wonder of watching takes over. Gets you outside in nature which I believe is essential. The experience each time I find relaxes me and at the same time enlivens my heart. Lots of joy present.
Martha, Ojai, California
I have a deeper appreciation for clouds, the changing skyscape and allowing myself to slow down and be in the present moment wherever I am. Even if I pull over to the side of the road to enjoy the sky or listen to the birdsong.
ST, Napa, California
Creating a practice to take time outs, I didn't know these short breaks would be so restorative mostly for my mind and soul. I became more calm and happy.
JG, Nevada
The benefit I received was the awareness of the positive impact I experienced from just 5 minutes of intentionally slowing down. Cloudwatching helped bring me back into balance on a number of occasions. It also helped me feel more connected to the divine.
KCM, Southern California
I realized that taking time to be still and observe the sky is a great way to reconnect with my Self and God. I gained perspective and felt gratitude for the smallest of things. I am impressed with how simple the process is and how profoundly it affected me
Judy L, Hermosa Beach, California
Creating this practice during such a stressful time (pandemic, separation from family and friends, schooling transitions, racial injustice, stressful election, wildfires and poor air quality, etc.) was healing and soothing for me.
JL, San Francisco, California
It is really important to have a habit like cloud watching to live in peace.
HT, Palo Alto, California
Cloudwatching is now one of my automatic things I do to take care of myself. When I'm in the middle of whatever I'm doing, I look up and my body relaxes. It's a quick reset. Or take a few minutes to enjoy an easy meditation. You'll love how easy this practice is.
Kay S., Middleville, Michigan
I noticed that with cloudwatching, I felt a lot more energetic throughout my day. I was able to carry on through my day and not feel completely burned out at the end of the day when I cloudwatched.
College Student
The sky is so magical and I am pleased to have this opportunity to stop each and every day to recline and watch our great universe. I was more present, calm, and rested. Cloudwatching seems to be an excellent tool to unwind and possibly even to possibly get inner guidance. Loving this!
CH, Naples, Florida
Cloudwatching has helped clear up my mind or “brain fog.” My mind has been able to take a break from everything every day, even if it’s only for a few minutes. I have noticed that I have been in a better mood as I feel peaceful inside.
College Student
I really enjoyed being still for a bit and just be in the moment. Lovely watching the clouds go by. I am so used to looking at nearby objects, such as my phone, that I don't look far into the distance enough. It feels good. My mind would wander to things and the clouds would be bring me back to the present moment. Lovely feeling the sun on my body.
