Content: Your ancestral roots are in nature. It’s where the human species grew and evolved into its current state; divorcing yourself from your deeper, nature-bound essence can come at great risk. Fortunately, you can make a conscious decision to spend more time in nature and embrace a host of benefits for your body, mind, and spirit. In this way, nature can play a profound role in helping you heal your mind and body while uniting you with your true identity as a spiritual being. Also known as ecotherapy or green therapy, spending time in nature cultivates a state of holistic balance and growth through a nourishing interaction with the earth.

The sights, sounds, and experiences associated with being in nature can have a soothing effect on your nervous system, slowing heart rate and normalizing respiration, blood pressure, and several other key stress markers associated with the fight-or-flight response. In addition, natural settings are rich in primordial sounds, or the most basic and fundamental sounds of nature.
