There is more to mindfulness than sitting still indoors. We can take our cushions and our practice of mindfulness into the outdoors too. Being in nature can be a powerful response to meet the stresses and strains of modern living.
When we bring mindfulness with us, we can deepen our connection with our selves and our more than human world. And the science agrees! Recent reviews of research show that practising mindfulness outdoors in nature may lead to even more positive gains for us than traditional means of practising mindfulness.
