In all things of nature, there is something marvelous.

ARISTOTLE

NATURE IS ALL AROUND us, if we’re willing to perceive it. From the sunlight we feel on our skin as we walk down a canyon path or a busy urban street, to the raindrops that catch us unaware, to the grass growing through the cracks in a concrete sidewalk, nature offers opportunities to marvel at each moment, when we are mindfully present in the experience.

Outdoors or indoors, whether on a bustling city street or in the country, practice noticing the natural world. Pay close attention to what you perceive. Do so without judgment, without telling yourself a story about it in words. Do you see it? Hear it? Smell it? Feel it on your skin?

Whether you call this immersion “forest bathing” or “mindfulness in nature”—simply observe, carefully, with all your senses. As you do so, be in touch with the wonder of the moment. Feel your sense of connection with the natural world expand. Feel the joy that comes with this connection, no matter where you are.
