Lie down. Look up. Meditate with the sky!
Explore the Cloudwatching® Method
Cloudwatching® is an effortless, science-backed open-eye meditation that almost anyone can do, anytime, anywhere. In just five minutes a day, you can rest your body, clear your mind, and reconnect with yourself beneath the vast and ever-changing sky.
Why Cloudwatching?
Do less, not more. Lean into being.
Most mindfulness practices ask you to do more: close your eyes, quiet your thoughts, and sit still. Cloudwatching is different. You start with an intention and focus on comfort. Simply lie back, look up at the infinite sky, and allow peace and stillness to unfold naturally.
The body needs rest.
The mind needs clarity.
The spirit needs connection.
The eyes need natural light and are drawn to beauty.
Cloudwatching meets these needs in one simple practice. It’s a pause from constant input. Instead of streaming content, you give your mind space to notice your own thoughts, feelings, and inner awareness.
What is Cloudwatching?
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.
Unlike traditional meditation, your eyes remain open, becoming a doorway into the sky’s spacious stillness.
Just step outside, lie back, and safely look up. Five minutes is often all it takes.

Cloudwatching works!
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.
Lying Down: Relaxes your muscles, slows breathing and heart rate, quiets the brain, allowing the body to fully receive the benefits of panoramic vision, natural light, and awe.
Panoramic Vision: A relaxed, expansive gaze signals safety, reduces vigilance and digital eye strain, and restores natural focus.
Natural Sunlight: Daylight supports healthy circadian rhythms, brightens mood, boosts daytime alertness, and promotes better sleep.
Awe: The vast sky could evoke awe and wonder, improving physical and mental well-being, and helping you feel connected to something larger than yourself.

“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 enough into the distance. It feels good. My mind would wander to things and the clouds would bring me back to the present moment. Lovely feeling the sun on my body.”

“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.”

Hi! I’m Dr. Letty Flohr
Founder of the Cloudwatching® Method
For years, I chased transformation on the outside: experimenting with nutrition, pushing my body through rigorous exercise, and aiming for peak performance as a Wall Street trader. Yet deep inside, I longed for an unshakable inner peace I could return to, no matter what was happening in my life.
Cloudwatching grew from that calling, and my greatest joy is seeing people witness their own inner calm and tap into their inner wisdom.
