What is Mindfulness Based Nature Therapy?
Mindfulness-based nature therapy MBNT, is a modified form of self-therapy that incorporates nature connection guiding and natural mindfulness practices. MBNT combines nature connection practices, present moment awareness using sensory and breathing exercises. This guided therapeutic approach to wellness and wellbeing helps heal the symptoms of a weary/tired body, relax a busy mind and lift a low mood/spirit.
Using Natural Mindfulness & forest bathing practices, clients are guided to connect with nature in the here and now as well as disconnect from negative thought patterns and feelings that can cause a decline into a mood-disordered state. MBNT guidance can also help a person reduce stress levels and ward off a negative frame of mind before it takes hold.
MBNT is derived from the work of Ian Banyard, wellbeing author, nature connection guide, guide trainer, creator of Natural Mindfulness and the founder of Nature Connection World.
Please note:Â Mindfulness based Nature Therapy is a guided therapeutic process not a therapy. Natural Mindfulness guides may be qualified therapists in other therapeutic practices. Please check with your guide before booking a session.
