Let Nature Heal You

Spending time amongst the richness of nature is the best medicine for soul and body.

This year I have taken a sabbatical from work to slow down and reconnect to nature.

I spent the last two months in Nepal, home of the Himalaya Mountains and friendly Sherpas who were always willing to share a cup of sweet tea and milk biscuits with me.

Trekking through the mountains, after a few days, my mind calmed down and I felt relaxed and so peaceful - almost tingling with well-being. Slowly I started becoming aware of the music of the forest, a symphony made by the subtle buzzing of insects, the calls of the birds, the flutter of leaves in an unseen breeze overhead.

But it was not a symphony of sound alone. The scents of loam and moss, leaf and fruits, meshed with the sound I heard and the physical sensations of walking, of brushing past a low branch or sinking deep into moss.

Spending time in the mountains was really an amazing experience - an experience that involved me more completely than anything I had felt in life.
