Aina ei tarvii lähteä merta edemmäs kalaa vai miten se sanonta kuuluu, mutta välillä on kiva mennä vähän kauemmaskin. Olen ehdottomasti enemmän kaupunki-ihminen kuin luontoon vetäytyvä. En kaipaa puutarhan ympäröimää omakotitaloa, vaan asun mieluiten kerrostalossa kaupungin keskustassa. Parveke on tietty kiva pikkulisä ja siellä saa toteuttaa omia puutarhallisia visioitaan.
No, asiaan - tarkoitus oli kirjoittaa luonnon merkityksestä mielelle. Se on valtava. Kerran yhdessä workshopissa tai jossain koulutuksessa piti kartoittaa omaa sielunmaisemaa. Aikamoinen sekamelskahan se oma sielunmaisemani oli. Siitä ei kuitenkaan löytynyt suomalaista metsää eikä järvimaisemaa, mutta meri putkahti lähes joka käänteessä.
Sain mahdollisuuden lähteä vaellusretkelle upeissa maisemissa ja kivassa seurassa. Molemmat, Tiina sekä Sirpa ovat innokkaita terveellisen elämän puolesta puhujia.
Lähdimme iltapäivällä Fuengirolasta autolla Mijaksen suuntaan ja sieltä eteen päin kävellen ylös kivisiä pikkupolkuja. Aika kovin tuli puuskutettua ja hiki virtasi. Maisemat olivat uskomattoman upeat ja välillä piti pysähtyä ihailemaan luonnon kauneutta. Tämä on sitä parasta mindfulnessia ja mielen rauhoittamista.
Kyllä näissä maisemissa kelpaa vaellella, vai mitä?

There's a Finnish saying which goes something like this 'you don't always need to go further away for fishing', but sometimes it is nice to go a bit further outside - like I just did. I'm more a city than a countryside person. I'm not longing a house with a garden. I rather live in a block of flats in a city centre. Of course, a balcony or terrace would be a nice extra.
Well, back to the point - I was suppose to write about nature's impact to mind. It is huge. Once in a workshop or similar like of event, we were asked to find out and describe our landscape of the mind. Mine was quite a mess. There was no mentiones of typical Finnish woods nor lakes, but sea came out in every corner.
I had a chance to go for a little hiking tour with lovely company to explore the beauty of the Spanish nature. Both my hiking companions, Tiina & Sirpa, are so active and live such a healthy way - they know everything about wellbeing.
We left from Fuengirola towards Mijas by car, and continued by foot up to the mountains along narrow, rock paths. i was pretty exhausted and sweating a lot. The views were unbelievably gorgeous. Had to have breaks to sip some water and enjoy the sceeneries & the beauty of nature. This is definitely the best mindfulness and a way to get piece of mind.
Perfect place for hiking, isn't it?
Ovatko nämä polut sinulle tuttuja?
