Look deep, deep into nature,
and then you will understand everything better…

The Healing Power of Nature
With
our busy, stressful lives and the toll it takes on our energy levels,
we tend to forget that there is an awesome, powerful, instant mood
enhancer available to us at all times.
What's more - it's absolutely free and natural. Yes, I'm talking about nature!

Swimming
in the ocean, sitting under a tree, feeding ducks or playing with baby
animals - there is a simple reason why these things feel so great and
can lift your mood in an instant.
You and Nature are One
It is because YOU yourself is a part of nature, and by reconnecting and tapping into its healing energies, you give yourself an energy boost as well as reminding your body and spirit on a deep level of its interconnectedness with all things in the universe.
True health and well-being doesn't come in medicine form. It comes from the ways in we care for ourselves and do things to promote our general well-being. This means finding ways to look after the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves equally.
Your body has immense self-healing potential. There is a great wisdom and healing power in nature. You don't have to climb Mount Everest in order to connect with nature - a simple walk on the beach or an hour or two spent in a beautiful nature spot will do the trick.

A birthday picnic in a park is a fantastic and inexpensive way to give yourself and your friends a break from the stresses of everyday life. Being barefoot, sitting on grass, playing with children and animals - all these are things which have been scientifically proven to boost feelings of happiness and contentment.
Why not give it a try?
Three Reasons Why Nature Rocks
1. IT'S SENSUAL
Being
in nature immediately engages our senses. The feeling of the sun or a
gentle breeze on your skin. Dipping in a cold mountain pool. Beach sand
between your toes. The sound of a seagull screeching. The taste of a
ripe, freshly-picked berry.
Seemingly
simple experiences such as these allow us to escape from our stressful,
everyday lives, into the wondrous and sublime world that is nature.
Nature puts the magic back into everyday life!
2. IT'S HEALING
Everybody
needs a special place, somewhere that is just theirs. A place where
they can escape to and recharge body, mind and spirit.
Nature
offers each and everyone of us such a place. It can be sitting under a
tree in your garden, reading in a little corner of a park in your
neighbourhood, or lying on your back looking up at the moon and stars at
night.
Having
your own special "nature place" to escape to can be immensely healing.
It will help you take your mind off your troubles and leave you
recharged and invigorated for life's challenges.
3. IT'S A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
Nature is often a quiet place, and its silence can also help in silencing our own busy minds.
Once
silent, our minds become receptive to new ways of looking at our lives
and relationships. As we breathe in nature's fresh air, we gently clear
out our minds, stop the chaos and allow for fresh insights, perspectives
and inspiration to flow into and through us.
