Description

Turn to the Sun guides you down a nourishing path of uplifting affirmations, soul-refreshing meditations, and lush botanical photography that helps you heal in the company of nature. Approach your days with less anxiety, renewed vigor, and a deeper sense of well-being as you become grounded and soak up nature's restorative qualities.

Whether you live in an urban jungle, on a suburban cul-de-sac, or at the edge of a national forest, you might find yourself more connected to technology than to nature. In the midst of the pings and rings of a device-dependent life, is getting close to nature even possible—or worth it?

Wellness coach and the founder of Pause with Plants Brittany Gowan shows you how slowing down, unplugging, and connecting with the natural world is not only possible and absolutely worth it, but also essential. Brittany creates a reflective experience enhanced by plants that helps you find the calm and tranquility you crave.

In these gorgeous, photo-filled pages, you'll find ways to:

  • Cultivate mindfulness as you let go of daily distractions
  • Let nature guide you into relishing the present moment
  • Use a nature-focused mindset to persist through challenges
  • Connect and ground yourself with nature anywhere, anytime
  • Nourish your relationship with yourself and the world around you

 

Turn to the Sun includes:

  • Affirmations: simple statements that have a positive effect on your thoughts and actions
  • Meditations: guidance for reflection and contemplation to center your mind and body
  • How-tos: doable exercises to fully engage with the natural world
  • Stunning botanical photography: lush images of plants that pair with affirmations, meditations, and how-tos

 

When in your life have you felt most alive? You can feel that way again. You can flourish, with purpose, whether you are in a waiting season or ready to blossom. It's time to pause. It's time to breathe. It's time to grow.

Turn to the Sun guides you down a nourishing path of uplifting affirmations, soul-refreshing meditations, and lush botanical photography that helps you heal in the company of nature. Approach your...

This is such a sweet and lovely book! The exercises are so great. My only note is that I wish the photos of plants were labeled because I love learning to identify plants more easily!

The mindfulness practices in this book are clear and easy to follow.

The affirmations and meditations to help you pause and reflect and connect with nature in this book would make for a great audiobook to listen to on a nature walk.

Well written and it is actually an interesting and soothing read.

I love books that make tife easier to get through.. This book does feel as though it is a combination of various other books on the subject matter, but it is very interesting nonetheless and uplifting. Not sure I would pay the full price for this one, but I would definitely get it from my library.
