Embracing Mindfulness with Nature: A Journey of Simple Awareness

Before I learned what mindfulness was really about, moments like this would have completely passed me by.

I can remember lying on a bench at lunchtime many years ago, the perks of an office with a rooftop overlooking the city skyline. As I lay there, I looked up at the sky and the clouds, and for what felt like the first time, with awareness.

I noticed the clouds moving slowly, and I found myself mentally investigating the shapes and colours being formed in the sky.
