The feeling of Waldeinsamkeit is an engulfing experience of nature. The sensory experience of perceiving the present moment in nature possesses such rigorous strength and intensity that any notions of past or future are pushed aside. The mind is emptied of any form of thought and all that is left is a deep-rooted feeling. A feeling of connectedness; a feeling of completely merging with nature. You feel as if your body slowly dissolves until every cell is intertwined with the cells of the things around you. You, and everything you can sense in this current moment together, become one.

You become ‘nature’.

You can sense the scale and vastness of the nature that you have become part of. We are one unnoticeably tiny speck, a drop that fell into the ocean of nature.

When experiencing Waldeinsamkeit, you are engulfed by the wave of nature which then runs, flows and meanders through your body, replacing thought with emotion; with feeling.
