Honestly, Sintra Forest is an enchanting sanctuary where nature whispers secrets, and sunlit trails seem to beckon weary souls like me to unwind.
I tried my best to capture the dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage. But not gonna lie, got distracted. Each ray drew out more and more of the forest’s beauty.
Today, I thought I’d share with you the benefits you get when nature meets mindfulness.
In fact, studies echo the sentiments of this woodland haven, revealing that the combined influence of nature and mindfulness has a huge impact on well-being.
When you’re among silent giants like that of the Sintra Forest, stress melts away, and your mind finds peace. At the risk of sounding like Louis Armstrong, you can’t help but find appreciation for this (gorgeous) natural beauty. And your place in the world.✨️
Whether it’s Sintra Forest or some other verdant canopy, a walk becomes a journey into mindfulness. Try it! Now it’s Autumn (at least in the Northern hemisphere), so fallen leaves become the meditative squelch along with the occasional serenade of migratory birds. Ah, and that slight crisp in the air.
Anyways, leaving this photo right here, as a reminder that among the chaos, nature is like a bestie, ready to share or offer a sense of calm for those “willing to listen”. And, of course, appreciate its beauty.
Wishing you a wonderful week,
Dionne 💫
