In this episode of Wildly Unplugged, I sit down with Elizabeth Minton, a psychotherapist, Qigong instructor, and founder of The Calming Ground, a space dedicated to helping people slow down, reconnect with nature, and cultivate mindfulness.
Practical Tips to Unplug & Connect with the Wild:
If you can’t escape to the forest, Elizabeth suggests simple ways to incorporate nature into your day:
🔌 Breathe with awareness – Visualize each inhale as a gift from the trees and each exhale as your gift back.
🔌 Keep a small nature object nearby – Holding a stone, pinecone, or plant can help you feel grounded.
🔌 Take a sit spot break – Find a quiet place outside, even if it’s just for a few minutes, and observe what’s around you.
