The Art of Mindful Outdoor Living in Summer
As the days grow longer and the sunshine warms our skin, early summer offers the perfect invitation to slow down and reconnect with ourselves and with nature. Mindful outdoor living isn’t just a wellness trend; it’s a way to nurture your wellbeing by embracing the present moment, breathing deeply, and finding peace in the simple pleasures of life.
Here’s how to make the most of mindful moments outside this summer
Start Your Day with Outdoor Meditation
There’s something magical about the quiet of an early summer morning. Whether you have a garden, balcony, or nearby green space, take your morning coffee or herbal tea outside and try a short meditation.
Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Let the sound of birdsong, the rustle of leaves, or the scent of fresh air guide your attention back to the present. Even five minutes of stillness can help set a calm, intentional tone for the day ahead.
Take Your Yoga Practice Outside
Move your body with purpose and grace by taking your yoga practice outdoors. A shaded spot under a tree or a quiet corner of your garden can become your personal sanctuary. Practising yoga outside connects you to the earth – quite literally if you’re barefoot on the grass – and makes it easier to tune into your breath, your body, and your surroundings.
To enhance your session:
– Set up near natural light or greenery.
– Use a diffuser with calming or energising essential oils.
– Let nature’s sounds embrace you in the moment.
Embrace the Power of a Mindful Walk
Walking is one of the simplest and most underrated forms of mindfulness. But instead of striding with purpose, try a slower, more thoughtful approach.
Leave your phone behind and:
– Notice the rhythm of your steps.
– Feel the breeze against your skin.
– Take in the colours, sounds and scents around you.
Mindful walking turns an ordinary stroll into a grounding ritual and offers a gentle boost for both your mental and physical health.
Create a Calming Outdoor Space
Whether you are planting bulbs in the garden or adding potted plants to your kitchen, spring gardening is about creating a home that feels calm, fresh and full of life. We believe that combining natural elements with beautiful fragrance is the key to a relaxing and inspired living space.
Open the windows, breathe in the fresh air, and let the beauty of spring blossom throughout your home.
Explore our current offers on home fragrances and bring the season to life in every room.
Designing a relaxing outdoor space can help make mindfulness part of your everyday routine. Think cosy cushions, soft throws, ambient lighting, and natural touches like wooden planters or pebbles.
A soothing scent can elevate the atmosphere even further. Our eco-friendly diffusers offer refreshing blends that bring the calm of the indoors outside. Try uplifting fragrances like Lemongrass and Rosemary or relaxing notes such as Lavender to enhance both your environment and your mood.
Incorporate Scent into Your Mindfulness Ritual
Scents have the power to ground us, uplift us, and create a sense of calm. When paired with mindful outdoor living, aromatherapy becomes more than fragrance. It becomes a meaningful part of your wellbeing routine.
Our best-selling natural home fragrances are a perfect way to bring mindful intention into every summer moment.

Be Present with the Natural World
Whether it’s watching bees move from flower to flower or tracing the shapes of clouds, being present in nature encourages perspective and peace. You don’t have to do anything special – just notice. Notice the warmth of the sun on your skin, the scent of freshly cut grass, and the rustling of trees in the breeze.
Mindfulness at its heart is about awareness, and summer is the perfect time to practise it in the most beautiful of settings.
