Ancient Forest. Filled with monsters and ninja alike. I decided to make such an area of chaotics where I'll meditate to calm my mind and be in tune with nature. It was to strengthen my mind and to make me more aware of everything around me. Back before my great change, I had depended very heavily on my Chigokai properties of hearing all of the blood flows around me, but now I don't have that, something I have to live without now.
But because of that, I have to learn to be more aware of the things around me as I meditate. The hardest thing about meditating is being aware of the things around me while also having to clear my mind of all worries, or other things that would considered distracting in the human, or in my case, kitsune mind. Sitting down in a clearing, cross legged, I closed my eyes and controlled my breathing, picking up sounds around me, being aware, but not opening my eyes. I relaxed my body as I clear my mind and feel the slight wind that was around me. Birds chirping somewhere to my right, a medium sized animal, probably a deer to my left. Something big moving around in the forest behind me, but far away.
Taking slow breaths to keep calm, I felt the slight warmth from sunlight that has poked through the trees. I don't know how long I have been there, but I had gotten used to the rhythmic sounds that nature had to offer. Everything seemed to have their own beat, and would feel as if wouldn't go well with other sounds, but surprisingly altogether it feels calming. Crickets with their own chirping, sound of water rushing from a nearby stream, even the sound of curious animals sniffing me and huffing before leaving me alone to go about their own business.
