Why clearing the mind BEFORE a walk in nature is so beneficial.

Often it is believed that a walk in nature is great to 'clear the mind' of its busy, non stop thinking. I agree with this too and yet, what if we were to turn that around? 

What are the benefits of clearing the mind BEFORE taking that walk in nature? The image beside is a photo of my environment while taking a walk as the sun was setting. 

My mind was quite clear prior to walking on this May, 2018 day as I had been participating in an emotional releasing course online. So when I ventured out on my walk ... I was able to notice my surroundings from a 'clearer awareness'. Ive walked this way on many occasions and on this particular walk I just stopped to notice the evening sun as it began to 'set'. I noticed the stillness all around and the reflection of the environment on the beach shoreline. I was able to just 'check in' with that stillness of nature , at its best, as the sun began to set. 

So, in the future I will ensure that my mind is cleared before I take that walk by applying techniques such as 'letting go' emotional releasing or meditation, and then go on out for that walk and notice nature from a deeper, more peaceful level from within my self! Kinda like nature in "High Definition" from that clear, more aware presence, of the moment!! So it's "happy walking" as you reveal that peace that is always within you! 💕
