Nature as Medicine
Nature is medicinal and both restorative and preventative. The benefits of grounding and spending time in nature:
• reduce stress
• balance the nervous system
• improve mental health
• facilitate breathing
• enhance sleep
• lower inflammation
• support healing from disease and illness
• help sport and other injury recovery
• lessen depression
• improve motivation to exercise
• support healthy mental energy
• stabilise emotional wellness
• boost immune health
• strengthen our inner clarity and vision
Nature further helps to switch off your mind from busy life’s distractions. Connecting our bodies to earth, restores the necessary electromagnetic balance to maintain optimal health and promote healing. Disconnecting from the telephone and electronics allows us to embrace the natural beauty of life. Nature shifts our consciousness to heighten the senses including sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing and our intuitive sixth sense. Connecting to nature helps our bodies draw in the nourishing, grounding and fortifying energy of the earth.
Embodiment in Nature
Embodiment is another form of mindfulness.
When practising embodiment, we energetically connect on a deeper level with the universal energies and our higher self to establish a greater understanding of our most important relationships including the relationship with ourselves and others. Focus on the body and mind influences us to be present in the moment. This restorative practice merges us with the earth’s natural energies, grounding us and helping us to heal past and existing wounds. Grounding and breathing in nature allows us to recognize the endless abundance of love and serenity that surrounds us.
