Wabi Sabi - The Perfectly Imperfect Podcast with Candice Kumai

EP 187 Let Nature Heal You


Listen Later

After a 8 days offline, I was reminded that the deepest healing doesn’t come from doing more—but from being more present. In this episode, I share why immersing yourself in nature for just 3 to 4 days can reset your nervous system, clear your mind, and bring you back to yourself.
This isn’t about escape—it’s about return. To the quiet. To stillness. To the real you. I’ll walk you through how to take a restorative break in nature, what to expect emotionally and physically, and why this kind of reset is essential in today’s overstimulated world.
Let this be your reminder: nature always welcomes you back—with mercy, with grace, and without judgment.
