Nature and Mindfulness: Part 4

Hello everyone stumbling to this check-in !

As we are almost near the weekends, do you have any plan to practice mindfulness in the weekends? If yes, what is your plan? Would you like to share with us?

If you are still thinking about finding a plan to practice mindfulness, let us help you a bit !

This weekend practice Mindfulness Walking in Nature !

After a long day sitting in an office, seated meditation might seem unappealing. On days when you want to get out into nature, try walking meditation instead.

Walking meditation, also known as mindful walking, is an active practice that requires you to be consciously aware and moving in the environment rather than sitting down with your eyes closed. The practice brings you closer to nature and your body. It also helps strengthen your concentration, makes you more aware, and connects you to the present moment.

- Find a place that has touch of natural elements - park, field, riverside etc.

- Walk around this place.

- Feel the touch of soil, leaves, flowers and sunlight !

- Sit quietly and think closely about you and all the life forms around !

This article explains it in detail. You can give it a read and try it this weekend !

@SunFern I try very hard to take my fur-baby for a walk in the Forest Preserve on the weekends. Now that I'm heading back to work, it will be more important to do this!! When I work, nature seems elusive!!

I absolutely love this post!

Walking in nature is one of my favourite mindfulness activities to do; I feel it really just makes me feel happier and raises my spirits. It is so gratifying to go outside and appreciate the beauty of nature. It really is important to care for the environment.

I highly encourage all of you to just go outside and take a walk. Have a beautiful day :) <3

@peppermintlove yes I share that love of nature too. It is something that grounds the energy and helps me feel whole again.
