Safety Guidelines
Participating in outdoor sessions in natural environments like beaches requires attention to safety to ensure a positive and secure experience. Here are some safety guidelines to follow:
1. Sun Protection:
Wear a natural sunscreen with a high SPF rating to protect your skin.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses (if preferred) to shield your face and eyes from direct sunlight.
2. Appropriate Clothing:
Dress in lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for the weather conditions.
Some sessions may involve being barefoot to facilitate a grounding experience, allowing participants to connect with the earth's energy.
3. Hydration:
Bring an adequate supply of water to stay hydrated throughout the session, especially in hot weather.
Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages, as they can contribute to dehydration.
4. Weather Awareness:
Check the weather forecast before heading out and be prepared for changes in weather conditions.
5. Stay on Designated Trails:
Stick to designated walking trails and paths to avoid getting lost or encountering hazardous terrain.
Respect any signage or barriers indicating restricted areas or conservation zones.
6. Environmental Awareness:
Respect wildlife and refrain from disturbing or feeding animals encountered during the session.
Dispose of any litter responsibly and leave natural areas as you found them.
Be mindful of fragile ecosystems and avoid trampling vegetation or disturbing natural habitats.
7. Breathing Exercises:
Practice deep breathing exercises during sessions to enhance relaxation and promote the absorption of positive ions for improved health and well-being.
8. Group Safety:
If participating in a group session, stay together and communicate regularly with the group leader.
Keep an eye out for fellow participants and offer assistance if anyone appears to be struggling or in distress.
9. Listen to Your Body:
Pay attention to signs of fatigue, dehydration, or discomfort, and take breaks as needed.
Don't push yourself beyond your physical limits, and communicate any concerns or medical conditions to the session leader.
By adhering to these safety guidelines, you can enjoy the benefits of outdoor sessions while minimising risks and ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.
