Yes I am trying to take a short time every time I go for a walk to S-L-O-W down and do a full sensory, mindful experience. I have a tendency to think about all kinds of things not related to where I am. BE HERE NOW

Definitely more challenging. I have a busy brain but I am working on being more mindful and in the present. I was in the woods behind our house but their was a fair amount of afternoon coming home traffic.

I really enjoy the surround sound activity and do it regularly on walks in the woods now.

Integrating all the senses is a powerful way to connect nature and it is very calming as well.

I’ve always been sensitive to harsh noises, especially human machine type noises. The quietness of nature is very, very soothing to me. I watch nature relaxation videos or listen to nature recordings regularly as well. Unlike with our eyes, there is no way to close your ears or look away from unpleasant sounds. I decided to take a short night snowshoe in the newly fallen snow on the woods road near our house, something that I hadn’t done for a number of years. I stopped after about a quarter of mile and leaned against a rock and listened. Unfortunately I heard a few vehicle noises in the distance off an on but it was fairly quiet over all. I could hear a faint whispering pine noise from primarily in front and in back of me.
