MINDFUL WALKING AND STONE PAINTING
TAKE YOURSELF OUT INTO NATURE FOR A WALK… (If it’s raining, put your wellies and raincoat on and enjoy the rain - our gardens need it right now.)
TAKE YOUR TIME, THERE’S NO HURRY …
NOTHING TO DO, NOWHERE TO BE, EXCEPT HERE WHERE YOU ARE IN THIS MOMENT AND IN THIS STEP…
BREATHE DEEPLY, STOP OFTEN AND TAKE IN EVERYTHING YOU SEE, HEAR, SMELL, TOUCH AND EVEN TASTE IF THAT IS SAFE (I have delicious strawberries in my garden that I love tasting these days)…
BRING TO MIND EVERYTHING YOU LOVE, EVERYTHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR…
GATHER STONES THAT YOUR CAN HOLD IN YOUR HANDS AS YOU THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE, PLACES AND EXPERIENCES THAT REALLY MATTER TO YOU…
WHEN YOU GET HOME PUT ON YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC AND PAINT YOUR STONES IN WHATEVER WAY HELPS YOU TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT ON YOUR WALK.
DECORATE YOUR FAVOURITE CORNER, HOME, GARDEN, STREET, LOCAL PARK WITH YOUR STONES IF YOU WANT TO SHARE THE JOY!
(If this is a family activity - take time to talk together about each stone and what it means.)
LOVE… WRITTEN IN STONE…
