Mindfulness Daily Check-in 23rd January 2019
Hello all of you!
How is everyone? I wondered how often you use mindfulness in nature? Have you taken a walk recently and enjoyed the connection with nature and mindfulness? If so, how did it feel? If you haven't had the chance to get outside then perhaps you can set aside 20 minutes this week to go out for a walk... breathe in the fresh air :)

@LisaDeRegtMBPsS thanks for this check in
I do spend a bit of time outside daily. It is awesome just letting things of the world go and focusing on the breeze, or the light rain or snow. Even those silly squirrels playing. I love that connection alot
@RumpleSteeleSkin
The breeze is just wonderful and all of those smells outside :) It's so restorative even thinking about mindfully walking. I did manage to practice today what I preached and I was thinking of you all today when I went for a walk. My dog was being lazy though so I didn't get to walk as far as I would have liked! Squirrels are amazing! Such cute little things :)
Does cleaning the snow my car off for 20mins count?
@Tinycupcake
It sure does TinyCan you also be mindful and come clean mine
@RumpleSteeleSkin Haha be right over
@Tinycupcake
Yes!!! :) :) :)
Thank you for this check-in! I absolutely love taking walks in nature and taking time to also pay attention to all of the details and appreciate the world around us :) it is very relaxing
@peppermintlove hey thereWow your like me and no matter what I get outside and notice things. I just can't end up with cabin fever
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Yes so true Rumple! If I'm walking by a garden I can't help but stop to notice all the little details on the flowers and leaves and everything else, nature really is so cool 
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
I love that picture, we have a similar walk but its very muddy now and the leaves are gone, but it is a walk that can bring mindfulness of the seasons and how they move and change.
Every day the dogs walk along it and every day they find new beauties in the new smells as they change each day yet we see the same thing? So being mindful takes me to a new level of consciousness and seeing :)
@MistyMagic
HI Misty good to see ya! It is good that you have a good path for walks that do bring you into nature. We too have many paths here and also they are all cover and yucky. Wow you and the dogs are being mindful each day with new things. Good for you
@MistyMagic
Dogs can teach us so much about being mindful of our environments! I just love how they are so inquisitive about everything :) I find the walks where you absorb the nature to be so healing and peaceful.
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS I walk out in my backyard and there is conservation land so I feel nature is very close. I feel the wind in my hair or the sun on my face. The blue skies are dotted with wispy clouds. I am content just being here.
@soulsings
"I am content just being here", the place you described sounds so beautiful and serene. :)
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS well in some ways it is the place, but it takes a special state of mind to experience that wonder. I guess it is both an outer place and an inner place. When they meet up, joy happens.
@soulsings
Beautiful
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
Lisa, thank you for that wonderful picture. I could see myself walking that path, listening to the sound of the wood underneath my feet and smelling the fresh air .
This week was a busy week in the morning for me, doing lots of things in the garden, feeling the soil in my hands crumbling, knowing that this is the right consistency, putting the young seedlings inside, giving them support by bamboo sticks. In the weekend I intend to go for a very long walk, passing the sugar cane fields and the wooden houses which show so much beauty when we open the eyes and the heart to see it.
@amiablePeace77
What a beautiful reply! What are you growing at the moment? It sounds like you love the time spent in your garden and it sounds so peaceful.
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
Lisa, the garden or better the land (this is where i grow our food) are both very peaceful places. It's such a pleasure to see the tomatoes, cucumbers, corgettes, various types of green leaves growing and it's truly a reward to harvest and eat them. The land feeds us and that's why I always pay gratitude to it.
Btw our monkeys too , they gratefully pick my green apples, the banana and anything which is not sour. Truly grateful monkies 😁
@amiablePeace77
Ah I just love this :) How amazing that we can grow our food and enjoy the time spent in the garden.
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
sorry, this was a double
