STAR BATHING
We all know the importance of spending time in the sun but did you know it is also great for us to spend time bathing in the stars and moonlight? Light a fire pit and sit out in your garden and get in some star gazing. Rumour has it we are light, and while your phone charges, charge your own cellular body with some light from the gods. Star gazing is about getting out into an open space and immersing yourself in the night sky. This promotes mindfulness, gives you a sense of calm and is a great way to be truly present in the moment!
