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.

You may be surprised by how different things look when you change your perspective…

The other day I looked at a flower from the underneath, looking upwards at it.  I usually observe flowers from looking down, taking in the centre and the petals and then smelling them and enjoying looking at the stamens.

By looking at the flower this way I could see how the petals sprung out from the base of the flower and how they were uniformly interlinked with each other and I was able to marvel at the magnificence of this.

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.
