Mindful Escapes: Breathe, Release, Restore is a new programme on BBC 4 with truly wonderful nature photography. The very best thing about it is not being told that all the fabulous plants and animals are facing imminent extinction and that it's all our fault!!

There is very little commentary - we are allowed to gaze in wonder and amazement....

Here is a short sample from YouTube..just three minutes but the programme is 30 minutes long and late in the evening. Perfect before bed.

Now tell me that didn't slow you down!

This was perfect, thank you Freda. Will definitely try to watch the whole programme. Late summer JP and I shared some mornings of eagle watching from our balcony, and sometimes that was only a few minutes staring at the sky and nothing else but it felt so comforting.

Croatiana you started my day with this beautiful image of you and your son watching eagles - that is how I will always think of you now! Thank you so much.

I watched the first episode of this series and I'm so glad I did. How beautiful and how calming. I spent some hours today in pain from burning in my knees; half-an hour gazing at these wonderful slow images, listening to the sounds of nature and the man's voice and I realized that I wasn't feeling anything. It is true that stress is often part of pain. I resisted watching the next episode, that is for tomorrow. Thank you so much for telling us about these programmes.

I am so glad it had this wonderful effect! The sound recording is almost as good as the photography (no background music). I am looking forward to the other three in the series. Thanks for commenting Rosemary.
