The ability to be in the present moment is a
major component of mental wellness.
- Abraham Maslow
Suggested Invitation for Day 3
Letting Go
Start by making yourself comfortable and spend a few minutes focusing on your breathing. Like yesterday, take a long, deep breath in through your nose, and then breathe out through your mouth. Notice the quiet moment between the in-breath and the out-breath, the pause. Repeat this cycle of breathing 6 to 8 times, focusing on the pause between each inhalation and exhalation.
Next, simply allow yourself to become aware of anything that may be distracting you at this time - any thoughts or worries that are preventing you from being fully present. Just tune into what you want to let go of for the time being, acknowledge them for a few moments, and then, if you can, just mentally put them to one side allowing yourself to simply enjoy sitting in nature. You can always pick these thoughts up again when you leave your Sit Spot. For now, give yourself the gift of time and allow yourself permission to be fully present, in your Sit Spot. Practice your Sit Spot Sensory Inventory and when thoughts arise, gently bring yourself back to your senses; to the sounds, sights, smells, and feel of your surroundings.
Stay sitting in your Sit Spot for as long as you want.


A small collection designed to gently open the door into deeper relationship with the natural world.
This complete set of four Forest Healing booklets brings together practical guidance, reflective ideas, and simple nature connection practices that can be used anywhere — from ancient woodland to a nearby park, garden, or even a single Sit Spot outdoors.
Written to be accessible, grounding, and easy to follow, these booklets offer a pathway into the core practices of Forest Bathing (Shinrin-yoku), Silvotherapy, and everyday nature connection. Rather than asking you to achieve anything, they simply invite you to slow down, notice more deeply, and allow nature to become an active presence in your wellbeing.
Across the four booklets you will explore:
• What Forest Bathing, Silvotherapy, and Nature Connection actually are
• The key benefits of spending mindful time in natural environments
• The practice of the “Sit Spot” and how to develop your own relationship with a chosen place
• Simple, practical Forest Bathing invitations you can try alone or with others
• Ways to bring nature connection into everyday life, even in small moments
Together, they form a gentle introduction to practices that have been shown to support reduced stress, improved mood, greater clarity of thought, and a deeper sense of belonging within the natural world.
These are not academic texts or rigid instruction manuals. They are invitations — encouraging you to step outside, slow your pace, and rediscover the quiet intelligence of trees, weather, and landscape.
Whether you are completely new to nature connection or looking to deepen an existing practice, this collection offers a simple, supportive starting point for building a more intentional and restorative relationship with the living world around you.
A small set of booklets that can change the way you experience even the most familiar patch of nature.
