Walking along the broad tracks in the peace and quiet of the forest surrounding the cottage offers every opportunity for mindful thoughts to bubble up.  Walking with mindfulness boosts creative thinking and triggers an increase in creative solutions, accelerating problem-solving and the germination of new ideas.

When you walk without having to pay attention to where you put your feet, you can establish a rhythm which gives you the opportunity to access your subconscious. This increases the potential for releasing creative solutions.

Then we can allow our minds to wander, relax into an expanded sense of being and start to wonder “What if?”   Look forward to extraordinary inspiration.
