Natural Harmony - Connect with Nature to extend Your Wellbeing

When I visit large city parks, I'm amused and heartened by the

seeming unconscious human need to connect with Mother Nature. In

the very heart of urban civilization, city parks attract thousands of

people each day. I board a strong rural setting,

always surrounded by nature's glory and challenges. I smile

inwardly, listening to the array of foreign languages spoken around me

in the park. I watch worldwide visitors to a superb metropolis seeking

sanctuary in an exceeding patch of domesticated wilderness. Humans need to

connect with nature, whether or not just slightly of it. Research now supports what

our instincts 'know': contact with flora and fauna is significant to our

health.

Though most people value nature, few folks enjoy a deep

connection with it. This is often unfortunate because it's through this connection

that we both receive and release. We get a limitless source of

energy and inspiration, which we release worry, stress, and strain. 

Playing outside, in any form, could also be a well known reasonably 'therapy' to look out

balance and to rejuvenate. The "Great Mother" soothes the spirit,

sharpens the senses, and focuses on thinking. The natural environment

helps us recognize our oneness with the life process. Taking us beyond

our limited and linear view of life, nature celebrates growth and

perpetual renewal.

This celebratory quality is at once, inspiring, and energizing. Spending

time in nature, especially when exercising during away, makes the body

feel awake and alive. Physical centering leads to mental

centering and increased clarity. A neighborhood of mental centering is coming

powerfully into the present moment. After spending time in nature, the

actual moment, the present, re-establishes itself, kind of a transparent, melodic

chime being struck. The long-run and thus, the last stop is crowding in. This

easy, meditative state is profoundly relaxing and allows stress to dissipate effortlessly.

There are endless ways to connect and recharge with Mother Nature.

Hiking and canoeing are two classic choices. Their quiet rhythmic

qualities are especially soothing. They require sharpening of the

senses and thus the sensibilities. You learn to raised use your ears, eyes,

sense of smell, and balance. Even the most inexperienced ties to flora and fauna

can boost your health. Observe an aquarium, take a glance at landscape

photography, or visit a garden. Connect with nature, connect more

deeply with yourself, and build energy and harmony. When we

become more mindful and present, we essentially become more alive.

"When you recognize nature as a neighborhood of yourself,

You will act harmonically.

When you feel yourself a part of nature,

You will board harmony."
