Creating your own quiet place in Nature - What is a Sit Spot? 

It’s somewhere that you can go, to listen, clear your mind and slow down.  It is somewhere you can sit and observe all that is around you, where you can become one with your surroundings, not separate from them.

I had no intention of creating a mandala that morning, I had a list of chores that needed to be done…

“Music of Nature, is what one hears or feels when one is fully immersed in nature, awed by what one is observing. It is much more than sound”. Hazat Inayat Kahn (1882 - 1927). Sufi musician and mystic.

I almost always go barefoot when I am outside.  I have done this for many years.  Have you ever tried it?

It isn’t a “Hippy thing” that I am doing. 

It is a conscious choice that I make. 

I don’t go barefoot in town on the pavement and concrete.  It is the earth that I want to feel under my feet. 

The concrete isn’t alive, it’s flat and dead.

But walking on the earth there are subtle movements that I feel underneath my feet, even an earthworm at times!

Sometimes the most simple things are the hardest things to do. Like taking time out before going to bed and looking at the stars and the moon!

“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees”. - Henry David Thoreau

I knew then that Nature and Forest Therapy was something more than just sitting or strolling in nature. 

There is a real sense of connection and healing that happened for me and continues to happen to this day.
