Walking among the flora; flowers, trees, and plants. Short cut to mindfulness.
Over 5,000 years ago Ayurvedic medicine has taught that aligning and connect yourself with nature is healing, nurturing, and uplifting.
It connects us to our natural state of bliss. Why? Because humans are nature too. We are not outside of nature. We were made to follow the same rhythms and patterns to live an optimal life.
Thankfully, our Western health providers are slowly, but finally catching on. It’s more common now to hear, “ go outside and unplug”. It’s become less “ alternative” to love nature and becoming more mainstream. Forest bathing is a common term. Walking barefoot to “ground “ and recharge is not seen as “crazy”.
I am so happy us nature lovers are not seen as “ granolas” or “hippies” anymore. Maybe we still are?, but that’s ok too!
There is still so much we can learn from being connected to nature. Beyond the fact that it deceases our anxiety and uplifts us. It is here to guide us in so many ways.
We also have so much work to do in protecting nature; and seeing the outdoors as us.
The more we lean into it the better the chances of saving it. Which in turn is saving ourselves.
