Good morning!
As we all know, there are countless benefits to spending time in nature πΏ
Being in nature can help us feel grounded, calm, and connected to something greater than ourselves β¨οΈ
Have you ever tried leaf breathing as a way of connecting to the nature around you? If not, I'd definitely give it a whirl!
You can do this practice indoors with a house plant or take it outside.
Sit quietly and really observe a leaf, it's shape, it's grooves, it's colour....give your body permission to soften, relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw...
Draw your awareness to your breath, inhale for a count of 4, hold for one, then exhale for 4....
If your leaf is outside, maybe it's possible to match your breath to the soft rhythm of it's sway as it moves in the breeze...
Stay here for a few cycles of breath- feel yourself becoming calmer and everything slowing down for a few moments....
When yoire finished don't forget to thank your leaf for it's part in your practice π
This is a beautiful, accessible and mindful way of taking some time out to ground and connect to nature ππΏ
