Ornitherapy: For Your Mind, Body, and Soul guides readers into harnessing the positive benefits to health and wellbeing that mounting research demonstrates through 58 guided “Ornitherapy Explorations” and 5 guided “Meditations” surrounding birds right outside readers’ own windows and doors. The second section of the book offers journaling paper with “journal prompts” which correlate with the first section of the book’s “Ornitherapy Explorations,” allowing the reader to become an author of Ornitherapy too. Ornitherapy pairs mindfulness with observation in a way that will enhance their awareness and understanding of birds, while amplifying the promotion of well-being that nature provides them. Designed to be used from a window or transported along one’s daily travels, practicing Ornitherapy with this book can enrich a person’s life and nourish their mind, body, and soul.
