This morning I enjoyed a wonderful multi-sensory mindful walk. Using the “intention and attention” definition of mindfulness, I walked unplugged. No MP3 player. No cell phone. No watch. Not even a pedometer this time.
Hearing
Immediately after opening the front door to step outside I heard one of my favorite sounds…Michigan songbirds. I walked to their unique and beautiful music, including the special solo of a soulful morning dove.
Smell
My early morning walk after last night’s storm offered the cleanest, clearest air and the wonderful scents of pine and flowering trees. So sweet.
Sights
A stream, a pond, ducks, geese, two herons and a swan
