Go outside and find a place in nature to
sit down. Try to make it comfortable so
you can stay awhile.
Relax and practice using your senses to
observe nature and the world around you.
Close your eyes and focus your senses:
- ·
Listen,
what do you hear? Close to you, far from
you, are there birds, insects?
- ·
What do
you smell?
- ·
What do
you feel? Can you feel the sun? Is there
a breeze?
Open your eyes:
- ·
Look carefully at what is around you
- ·
Notice what’s happening with the
plants, trees, and animal life
- ·
Are there birds? Insects? Squirrels or
other mammals?
Some people
like to write or draw about what they noticed in their sit spot.
Come back to
this spot again in a few days and do this again. What has changed? What’s the same?
