24: How to Use Nature to Relax

There are many ways that nature can help you to relax. In today’s episode Kathryn steps you through a simple and practical exercise that’s based on developing a relaxing association with something from nature that gives you joy. Listen, learn and practise as Kathryn guides you to select an item from nature that you can use as the focus for this activity. You will learn how to relax your body and mind in ways that counteract the stress response and trigger an effective relaxation response. Once you’ve learned how to do this for yourself, you’ll be able to teach other people, including children, how to use nature to relax too.
