Begin taking slow deep abdominal breaths.
Inhale Positive, Fresh Perspective
Exhale anything you need to Let Go
Repeat 3 times
Allow your Breath to Flow
Bring your senses to the Here & Now
Close Your Eyes or keep them Open
Be Present to what you are Experiencing
Become Aware of Your Body, Mind, Spirit and Heart Sensations. Experience Fully try not to Resist what Flows or try to change the Experience, Just Flow
Feel the Temperature of the Air on your Skin, Feel the Wind, Feel the Coolness or Heat, Awaken your Sense of Feeling/Touch
Inhale Positive Fresh Perspective
Exhale anything you need to Let Go
Inhale Deeply, through your Nose, Smelling the Smells around You
Exhale through your Mouth
Inhale all those Yummy Smells Around You
Exhale what you need to Let Go

Deeply Listen to the Sounds around you. Hear Deeply. If your mind wanders, simply come back to Nature Sounds Surrounding you. Could be the leaves in the breeze, trickling water in the creek, ocean waves….stay focused on Nature Sounds
Experience Nature with an Infant Like Awareness, as though you are Experiencing Nature for the First Time; do not try to Name or Identify the sights, sounds surrounding you, simply Immerse your Entire Being Into Nature
