Welcome to Karura Forest.
Join me on just a few simple breaths of grounding.
Surrounded by nature.
Hearing the sounds of the birds.
Reconnecting to the earth.
Gently close your eyes.
It feels like you've been rushing.
Take some time to slow your breath in.
Let's do a few inhales,
Shall we?
So let's inhale for a count of one.
Two.
Three.
Four,
Looking up to the beautiful sky.
One.
Shall we do that again?
Let's inhale for one.
This tree,
The sunlight,
They're all giving us energy.
Let's take a big stretch.
Feel the energy.
All these trees feel grounded beneath us.
And in the silence,
Let's spend a few minutes just sitting in this beautiful space.
Breathing in with intention.
Breathing out with release.
Focus on the sounds of nature.
And if any thoughts are coming to you right now,
Observe them.
Thank them for being there.
And with the gentle breeze that's swishing through the trees,
Send those thoughts away to me.
When was the last time that you were in nature?
Not just walking through,
But truly immersed.
Picture yourself in a beautiful forest,
The trees dappled with sunlight.
Perhaps you've joined me in this space right here.
Hear the crickets and the cicadas.
Hear the birds singing to each other.
Perhaps you also hear the cars outside this space,
A reminder that life continues.
And yet,
We can find our moments of calm.
So inhale and release.
And exhaling,
Releasing and ascension.
Thinking about only being in this moment here and now,
In this presence.
Give gratitude to yourself for being in this space with me,
In this space for you.
Thank you so much for joining me in Karura Forest here in Nairobi.
May you find peace in your day.
May you find groundedness.
And just like these trees are getting sunlight,
May you too also find moments of light to inspire you.
Have a great day.
This is Reshma from Safari and Soul.
