nature connection ideas to try at home
Sit in nature; close your eyes
Feel the sun/breeze on your skin.
Let your body absorb the warmth
Sit in nature, close your eyes
Observe your breathing, how it slows
Let the earth breathe you for a while
Sit in nature, close your eyes
Listen to the sounds all around you, the birds near and far, and in between…
Imagine you are sitting in a garden, based on the sounds you can hear
Sit in nature, eyes open
Observe the light and shadow around you
Notice the stillness
Notice the movement
Go outside barefoot
Walk barefoot, walk slowly
Feel the ground under your feet
Slow your breath
Think about a quiet, peaceful time you have spent in the beauty of a natural area that attracted you.
How did you feel there in comparison to being in a shopping centre, at work or school?
Go outside and look up at the sky
Look at the clouds
Look at the horizon
Breathe
Get up early and watch the sunrise from a good vantage place
As the sun begins to peep over the horizon
Remember, the sun isn’t ‘coming up’, the earth is turning towards the sun
Feel the wonder
Allow yourself to fall in love…
With a tree!
