How BushBasking
Working with Nature in just a few steps
We are 100% nature….. this is something we can easily forget. Due to our attachment to technology, with its never ending updates, and connectivity to so many people that we do not even recognise those individuals who are important to us anymore. It can be liberating to stop and think about the fact that we are our own micro ecosystem living in a larger natural universe.
Getting back to nature and in essence, coming back to our true nature is easy.
Below are some ways in which you can harmonise with nature:
For our regular BushBasking Journeys we will provide a place and time to meet and take it from there. With limited spaces available please reserve yours or find out more about this incredible experience by sending an inquiry.
De-Stress and connect with nature through the practise of BushBasking
1. The most obvious, is to get out into nature. This does not have to be lengthy bush-walks or long swims in the sea, and can be as simple as sitting on the grass without shoes on, or allowing ourselves to get a little wet when the rain comes or witnessing a sunrise
2. Consume nature. Opt for whole foods; vegetables and fruits, grains and herbs and reduce consumption that comes from a packet. If your grandmother would not recognise it, it is probably not natural
3. Take a few moments each day to absorb some sunlight, and see the way in which the sun plays across everything around us (particularly that, which is not obscured by the build)
4. Form the habit to disconnect from our surrounding technology for at least an hour upon waking and an hour before sleeping. I would like to call this the “Power-Down Hour” in order to cleanse ourselves and unclutter the mind. Take some time to simply be. Just be with your thoughts for a while, rest your body and relax your mind. Take some time to think about what the day involves or what occurred earlier.
5. Take note of your own personal nature and note it lightly. Be aware of your thoughts, your own patterns. beliefs and values and do not buy into them too deeply. Understand that you are nature, and that your ego is not. Your natural essence is one of harmony and love. That jealousy and fear are unnatural and you do not need to buy into them. Favour elegance and charm over disharmony and allow your purest nature to shine through.
