Meditation: 3 Benefits Of Walking In Nature.

Meditation. We know that meditation is good for us, yet mastering the mind can be hard work.

I believe in keeping things simple and see meditation as a way of giving my mind a rest from the relentless thoughts buzzing around my mind. Apparently, the average person has a staggering 60,000 thoughts a day. 60,000 thoughts a day use up a lot of brain power!

There are many ways to meditate. You don’t have to sit in the lotus position, in a state of stillness, to meditate (which is very difficult to master). My preferred way to meditate is to go for a walk in nature. I take on the wild side and let Mother Nature soothe my soul.

Here are three benefits of walking in nature:

Create A Flow Of Energy

The act of walking creates a flow of energy, and nature provides a quiet environment. I use the rhythm and the count of my footsteps to still my mind from repetitive thoughts. Once my thoughts stop and my mind becomes still, I am in my body and not my mind. I listen to my body and connect with my intuition.

2. Connect With Your Intuition

I experience flashes of inspiration, awareness-expanding thoughts, and I’m able to see the bigger picture if I’m stuck in any area of life. I’ve solved many problems and sown the seeds of creative ideas while walking in nature.

3. Space To Breathe & Physical Exercise

Walking in nature creates a space to breathe and engage in physical exercise. Throw in some good old-fashioned fresh air to shake off tension and stress, and a walk in nature can revive and restore the most weary of souls.
