🎧 Have you been looking for a playlist of nature sounds to accompany your brain break, meditation or yoga practice, or as background music?

Click the link below to access "Nature Soundscapes": A compilation of soothing and restorative nature sounds and music. With over 14 hours of brief tracks, there's something for everyone. Looking for a specific sound? Listen from your Spotify app to use the search function at the top of the playlist to search for preferences such as "rain", "forest", "sea" and "birds". For best effect, try listening with headphones/earbuds for an immersive experience. I like to listen to this playlist while soaking in a hot bath with a scented candle or essential oils... bliss! 💚

I asked this little guy how he felt about working over the long weekend. He said it was a total buzz kill. I hope the rest of you busy bees enjoyed a well-earned break over Easter! 🐝

DIY Christmas Gifts...

This homegrown and naturally dried botanical bath blend contains daisy for joy and new beginnings, rose for love and passion, geranium buds for health and happiness, and pomegranate flower petals for abundance and prosperity.

Sharing some sensory goodness from the nature mandala workshop I facilitated at our staff wellbeing day (with the help of some team members who foraged for hours!). I'm so thrilled that everyone embraced this opportunity for shared creation, storytelling and meaning-making 💚

Recently, I wasn't able to get outside for my lunch break so I carved out a few minutes between tasks to play in the sand of my zen garden to get my daily "fix of fractals"... Try saying that 5 times as quickly as you can, I dare you 😜

What are fractals, you might ask? In short, fractals are infinitely complex or repeated patterns. They're eeeeeeeverywhere in nature, and the good news is looking at them is much easier than trying to master the above tongue twister.

Whilst it may have looked like I spent my lunch break with my head buried in the sand, evolutionary psychology and neuroscience suggest that viewing nature's fractals can be beneficial for our mental health.

Fractals found in nature induce alpha brainwaves, evoking a relaxed yet wakeful state, and emerging research suggests that a boost in alpha waves may lower stress and anxiety, improve mood, focus and creative thinking, and reduce perception of pain. And even if you're physically unable to access the outdoors, research has shown that viewing images of nature's fractals can also be of benefit.

According to psychologist and author Dr Katie Cooper, plants that display fractals either in the patterning of their leaves or in the way they grow are everywhere in nature, and as a result it is thought that our eyes have evolved to process them easily. She states, "the fine balance between predictability and variability in the patterns makes them effortless to look at, yet interesting enough to keep us focused. Studies have shown that the fluency with which we perceive fractal patterns puts us at ease and can have an immediate stress-reducing effect”.
