“One in four adults feel lonely some or all of the time.
🍃
There’s no single cause and there’s no one solution. After all, we’re all different!
🍃
But, the longer we feel lonely, the more we are at risk of mental health problems. 
🍃
Some people are also at higher risk of feeling lonely than others”

🍃
Yesterday, we gathered in the beautiful Denbers Wood and had the most gorgeous morning forest bathing.
🍃
Coming together, slowing down, remembering the benefits of reconnecting with ourselves, with others and with Nature can have hugely beneficial effects on our mental health.
🍃
And it certainly felt as though this was true yesterday. Truly an honour to guide a forest bathing walk yesterday to this amazing group of beautiful people. Thank to all and to as always for loving, caring for and maintaining this beautiful land.

Great fun and pure joy are the words I’m using to describe yesterday’s forest bathing walk with and her beautiful family Broughton Hall Estate]]
✨
Engaging all of our senses to give the mind a rest, we allowed our sense of smell to lead the way as we created woodland perfume potions and our sense of touch to explore Nature’s textures.
✨
Finishing off with nettle tea around the fire, I’d like to offer special thanks to my two little helpers for keeping the fires well furnished with twigs and for reminding us of the pleasures of simply being!
✨
Forest bathing is just one of the many wellbeing activities guests can add to and complement their stay Broughton Hall Estate]]

We live in a culture of speed and disconnect—disconnect from self, others, and the world around us, which gradually takes us away from the natural rhythms and cycles of our body, nature, and life.
🍃
Yesterday however, it was truly a pleasure to slow down and guide 2 busy professionals on a forest bathing walk
🍃
The process of slowing down begins to shift the internal chemistry, stimulating the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, our relaxation response.
🍃
As we slow down and draw forth conscious relaxation, we deactivate the stress response and increase our ability to become aware and feel our body in the present moment.
🍃
Present moment awareness invites us to pay attention to our current experience, which naturally awakens intuition and allows us to fully experience the world around us.
🍃
By cultivating a deeper relationship to self, we awaken to all that life has to offer.
🍃
If slowing down in nature sounds just the tonic, please DM for details of a forest bathing walk I’ll be guiding this weekend in the magical woods

A fabulous day with these two wonderful women & Sarah.

Beginning the day forest bathing, slowing down, reconnecting with both our inner and outer natures, later we explored more of the beautiful
🍀
After a delicious lunch in Utopia it was time for more nature immersion.
🍀
An invigorating wild swim, a woodland sauna and ending the day at moon-baths on the heather moorland, we had the most nourishing and truly joyous day.
🍀
Much gratitude to both Goli and Sarah for the opportunity to share all this amazing Sanctuary has to offer 🙏💚

Truly a pleasure to spend a couple of days with .sebastiano .powles and
🌲
Forest bathing, wild swimming, a woodland sauna, tree planting, walking, talking, interviews and many laughs along the way!
☀️
Fascinating to chat about the visually stunning and truly heartfelt documentary directed by which tracks .sebastiano as he embarks on an epic world-wide journey of self-inquiry, finding ways to address his then deep anxiety and frequent panic attacks.
☀️
From the streets of NY, to the stillness of the Ganges, and deep into the jungles of Peru, he immerses himself in meditation, self-inquiry, and plant medicine to find the root cause of the problem and learn how to finally find freedom from his crippling anxiety.
☀️
Along the way, as James speaks with many experts including Gary Weber and Joseph Goldstein to name a few, he finds answers as to why a materially successful person who seemingly has it all can continue to suffer from debilitating panic attacks, and recognises the beauty and power that lies within each of us, if we are willing to go there.
🌞
Thank you for making this happen and to .sebastiano and .powles for the opportunity to spend time in your beautiful presence❤️

In 1984, biologist Edward O. Wilson explained the affinity we have with nature and green spaces with his “biophilia” hypothesis.
🌲
His idea was that the environment in which humans evolved has shaped our brain, priming it to respond positively to cues, such as trees, lakes and waterways which would have enhanced survival for our ancestors.
🌳
This, Wilson argued, is why being in nature makes us feel good.
🌲
And really good we felt on the forest bathing walk I guided yesterday for these beautiful people at the beautiful .portugal
🌳
Connecting with ourselves, each other and this special land.

Spiritual Connection…

I wonder what this means to you?
✨
For me, it’s a deeper understanding of my inner self. Knowing what I need. Knowing what I want.
✨
All too often, we are too busy to ask ourselves these important questions.
✨
Yet, as we begin to slow down and open up to a sensory experience, the masks we wear, the exhausting roles we play begin to fall away.
✨
We begin to remember who we are. Allowing authenticity in this way, time just to be ourselves is an essential element of our emotional wellbeing.
✨
