Perceive nature with all your senses, rediscover the new and the familiar.
At the beginning, choose a natural souvenir that will later remind you of your trip or look out for an object that will accompany you on your hike and that you will then release back into nature.
Sharpen your senses for your own body and the nature that surrounds you.
- See: Walk carefully through nature or the forest, consciously take breaks. Which trees, plants and animals can be discovered?
- Hear: Rest your hearing by listening to other sounds by immersing yourself in the forest. Over time you will be able to focus on individual sounds. Lean against a tree, close your eyes and listen.
- Feel: The skin is our largest sensory organ. In addition, we can often remember things better that we have touched ourselves. Run your fingers over blades of grass, touch tree bark, soil, small branches, leaves and much more.
- Smell: Set your nose to the scent of crushed leaves and needles, breathe in the fresh morning air in the forest, smell the earth. Include your breathing in this experience, too, by breathing in deeply through your nose and exhaling twice as long through your mouth. Over time, breathing changes and becomes deeper, from shallow chest breathing to abdominal breathing.
- Taste: Use the variety of herbs and edible berries that you can clearly identify for tasting.
