💚 Before the start of Term 2, staff from Children of Light Educare took to the tranquility of Newlands Forest immersing themselves in the sights, sounds and natural earthy fragrances of the forest.

Slowing down to awaken the senses gave space for them to experience the restorative effects of being in nature, inducing a gentle reminder that they need time to play as well 💚🌳

Spending time in direct contact with tree bark activates the parasympathetic nervous response, allowing your body to remember how to heal itself naturally 💚

Science has shown that the airborne chemical compounds, phytoncides and terpenes released by trees;
💚 boost the immune system
💚 lower cortisol levels
💚 lower blood pressure
💚 improve mood
💚 promote quality sleep
💚 reduce stress and anxiety

Reconnect and be inspired by Nature 💚

Lessons from Trees 🌳
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.

Relaxing the toes and soles of the feet on the forest floor is incredibly nurturing. It offers one the opportunity to "stand your ground", and breathe with a sense of letting go........

Rooted in the physical body, held and supported by the earth, blockages and stagnation in the body's energy is cleared. 💫💫

We are constantly bombarded with disorganised data from smartphones, social media and television and this causes mental distress and anxiety!!
Get out into nature and kick off your shoes. Book now for a restorative forest bathing experience 🌞💚
