Forest Therapy #04 - give me more of that liminality

Treespeed; forest bathing with Highland Quietlife

The wonders of liminality..... from the Latin word līmen, meaning "a threshold". That glorious space between the 'tamed world' of mobile phones and general busyness and the 'untamed world' of unpressured, non-restrained relaxation.

Example - twilight serves as a liminal time, between day and night—where one is 'in the twilight zone, in a liminal nether region of the night'.

Liminality as defined by the ANFT, refers to a state of being that participants may find themselves experiencing during a Forest Therapy walk. The state of being is often characterised by a soft somatic awareness, a sense of timelessness, an active imagination, and a curious open heartedness.

Liminal Journey – refers to an experience where one shifts into and then later out of a state of liminality through the physical and metaphorical crossing of thresholds. A Forest Therapy walk is an example of a liminal journey.
