Mindfulness in nature - Nina Smiley

Mindfulness in Nature helps readers separate themselves from
their busy lives, and allows them
to engage in a deeper, more
fulfilling relationship with the natural
world around them through meditative practice.

Now more than ever, with the constant
distractions that abound in modern life-from smart phones to social
media-it is imperative we seek the solace and comfort of nature for our
well-being. The Japanese have a
term for it: Shinrin-yoku or "Forest Bathing".

Mindfulness experts Dr. Nina Smiley and David Harp have created a new guide called Mindfulness in Nature which provides a meaningful way to
nurture ourselves through a sense of spaciousness, calm, and connection
with the out-of-doors.

Penned from the breathtaking natural setting of Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York, Mindfulness in Nature affords readers access to wisdom from
dozens of notable authors, philosophers and poets
- including Henry
David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, and Walt Whitman - on the important
themes of nature, spirituality, simple beauty and joyful
living.

More than just a walk in the woods, Mindfulness in Nature is a carefully crafted and deliberate approach to achieve better health and well-being and is ideal for all ages.
