 SKOGSPAUS FOR ORIENTEERS

"From Navigation to Guest Consciousness"

THE CORE DIFFERENCE:

🧭 Orienteering: "I navigate through this terrain"

🌲 Skogspaus: "I'm visiting someone else's home"

WHAT THIS CHANGES:

• Entry: From route-focused → Acknowledging you're a guest

• Movement: From efficient passage → Respectful inhabitant awareness

• Interaction: From extracting information → Receiving forest insights

BENEFITS FOR ORIENTEERS:

✓ Enhanced forest sensitivity improves navigation performance

✓ Better flow state through respectful forest relationship

✓ Sustainable practice that deepens over time

✓ More aware and effective orienteering experience

THE RESULT:

Guest consciousness makes you a better orienteer

FROM ONE SKOGSLÖPARNA TO ANOTHER:

"We've all had those perfect orienteering or trail running moments - when you're flowing through the forest, reading terrain effortlessly, completely in sync with the landscape.

What I fee is that the 'guest mindset' creates those moments more consistently. When you enter the forest as a respectful visitor rather than a navigator with objectives, something magical happens. The forest seems to cooperate more, your awareness sharpens, your movement becomes more fluid.

It's not mystical - it's practical. And I’m sure that a Skogspaus mindset will make your sessions in the forest even richer."
