Whenever I need time for self-reflection or a life-changing decision, I would journey into the woods for my personal vision quest. I would do it only during spring or summer because I prefer to be completely naked as I wander deep in the forest.
Being naked while surrounded by nature has always overwhelmed me with a sense of freedom that I can never have anywhere else. With no other soul for miles but me unclothed and alone, I can freely explore, run, swim, cook, eat, read, sleep, masturbate, dance, and meditate with no one to judge me.
DAY ONE
In one trip to the woods I took one sunny day in the summer, I drove to my usual campsite a few hours' drive from home. After parking and locking up my car, I do an inventory check of my backpack. I brought protein bars and water to last me two or three days, a first aid kit, tent, hatchet, blanket, compass, matches, map of the forest, soap, sandals, paperback copy of "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed, my cell phone (turned off but brought in case of emergency) and my vibrator with new batteries.
I then began my journey into the wide green forest. In the first hour, I took the usual beaten paths the tourists take before going on the less used paths, deep into the forest most would not be willing to go. Soon the path became small and windy until there was no path to follow. Being familiar with the area, I continued straight following the sound of a small brook at a small clearing. On the other side of the brook, there was an inclined hillside. I climbed up a hillside leading me to a thicket of tall trees.
Certain that I was far enough from the prying eyes of humans, I put my backpack down and took off my clothes. Since I wasn't wearing a bra or underwear, all l had to strip out was my hiking shorts, my flannel shirt and my t-shirt, leaving on my watch, shades and hiking boots.
Before resuming my journey, I took a moment to bask in the sun shining at the edge of the trees. I closed my eyes, raised my arms and spread my legs so my whole body could feel the warmth of the sun's rays, as well as an unexpected and brief cool breeze that blew over my exposed tits, causing my nipples to get hard, which spoiled my Zen but caused me to smile.
After about ten minutes of sun-worshipping, I put my backpack on my naked back and wandered through the grove of trees, drinking in the beauty of nature around me. The impressive length and girth of the cedar trees as they provided shade from the sun, the endearing sounds of squirrels as they climbed or jumped between trees, and the sweet songs of birds nesting overhead.
As I journeyed through my own personal Eden, I stopped several times to feel myself. Being naked in the woods has always aroused me, in which I couldn't help but touch my nipples. I would lightly tease one or both nipples as I continued walking. Sometimes my clit would need the same attention but since I couldn't walk and touch myself at the same time, I would just keep walking until I set camp. But there would be a rare time when I couldn't ignore the heat growing from my loins and I would have to stop and play with myself.
I would either lean back against a tree and sit on a large rock, spread my thighs, spread the petals of my pink flower with one hand and gently diddle the pink bud with the other for a few minutes. I've always maintained some self-control so as not to climax because it would ruin my "ritual". When I felt I'd done enough without cumming, I withdrew my hands and returned to my path.
After another hour of walking, I finally reached my usual campsite. A flat and wide clearing with tall grass, surrounded by tall trees and big rocks. The perfect spot for me to reconnect with Mother Nature.
I took off the backpack and set up a small tent from a distance from the ring of rocks that is the campfire that I made a few years back. After that, I removed my hiking boots and socks, along with my shades, my watch and my hair clip, allowing my long hair to freely fall down my back.
I was now completely naked without any constrictions like the clothes that covered the natural beauty of my body, the hair clip holding my hair uncomfortably tight and restrained, or even my watch that would chain me to the man-made concept of time.
I stood free and unencumbered looking up at the clear blue sky with only the sun to guide me through the day and the moon through the night. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply, presenting myself to the spirits of the forest, seeking their love and protection.
Soon after, I walked from my camp and trudged through the trees and rocks which were bigger and closer together. But I persevered, following the sound of a waterfall, leading me to a swimming hole which I've called my Pond of Paradise. I walked on the small stone cliff near a majestic waterfall with a wide and deep pond 20 feet below me. From the pond's shore of sand and pebbles was a field of tall grass, thick bushes, and small trees that go on for about a mile as the water from the pond goes down a stream to the encompassing forest.
I sat on the flat surface of the cliff in a lotus position with my spine straight and my shoulders back as I began to meditate to center myself after my long journey. The soft splashing sounds from the waterfall and the sun on my naked skin brought me into absolute serenity. With every deep breath, the troubles weighing on my mind melted away into nothing.
After twenty minutes, I opened my eyes to see the sun slowly setting behind the mountains, indicating that my day was ending. I got back on my feet, stood on the edge of the cliff, took a deep breath and dived down into the serene waters of the pond.
Being submerged while naked has always brought out the water nymph inside me, swimming through the underwater realm for my pleasure and exploration. But unfortunately, my all-too-human lungs would need air, prompting me to ascend to the surface, back to the real world.
I relaxed my body and floated on the water, looking up at the sky, still content in my bliss as a water nymph. I felt the rhythm of the pond all around me. As much as I wanted to stay floating, the sun was at the last moments of daylight and I had to return to my camp before it got dark.
I swam to the shore and got on my feet as I left the pond a nymph no longer. A slight chill caused my nipples to go hard. I've always loved it when that happened. I suddenly stopped when I spotted a deer walking from the trees about ten feet from me. The deer was female, a doe, it stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me. Most deer would run away at the sight of humans, but this one was staying still, as if trying to decide.
But then I noticed a cute baby deer beside the doe. It began to be clear to me that the mama deer was taking her fawn to the pond to drink but my standing between the two deers and the pond caused a problem. Not wanting to appear as a threat, I slowly moved away from the pond, walking backward to the forest. As I got far enough, the mama deer cautiously walked to the pond with her baby. I was delighted to witness the baby deer drink from the pond while the mother kept watch before drinking. Then the mama deer and her fawn scampered off to the forest.
When I returned to my campsite, the night began to set. With my hatchet, I gathered the wood I needed for a campfire. After I had dinner, I prepared for my ritual. I placed my picnic blanket near the fire and sat facing it in a lotus position. I began my ritual with meditation, listening to the crackling of the campfire as well as the wind softly blowing through the trees with the sound of the crickets and the occasional hooting of a nearby owl.
