It is well known that being in nature can combat stress, lift a low mood and help us feel so much better in body and mind -- but how many of us actually take the pride to pause our busy lives and connect properly with our natural surroundings? Designed to help you get a shot of natural wellbeing into your everyday life, this book offers 21 daily practices to connect you with the healing, nurturing power of the Eart, even if you live in the heart of a city. All you need to practice these rituals is an open mind and heart. No religious belief is required, and supporting evidence is given for every ritual to explain exaclty how it works and why. From cloud-watching and moon-bathing to bringing out your inner animal and simply breathing in fresh air, these rituals will make you feel healthier, happier and full of wonder at the world.
