Wilderness therapy is a solution. Go camping, hiking, just go and sit on a log or by a stream or near a campfire and roast marshmallows. Take the time to go into the wild country; that is, wilder than your urban office or back yard.

 

You are hardwired since prehistoric times for camping and connecting with Nature. For anyone hearing the call of the wild, discovering Nature can be quite an enlightening journey as you explore and experience her.

Take A Walk On The Wild Side

 

Brainstorm an imaginary adventure; Create your Nature experience in your mind

 

• Think of where you would go?
• What would it look like?
• What would you take for nourishment and comfort?
• How long would you stay?
• What would you like to do there?
• Ask yourself when this will take place?
• Cut out pictures of Nature that inspire you and paste them to a large poster board to hang where you can see it everyday.
• Purchase some Nature posters to hang on your wall ( Nature photography and art also give us a way to connect with nature )

 
You are on your way...the more you appreciate these Nature images and plans, the more opportunities will open for your future adventures in Nature.

 

Once you have planned your adventure, made arrangements to go and have arrived at your destination, notice the sensations in your mind and body as you get out of the car. Feel the earth below your feet, take a breath of fresh air and you may even yawn and stretch as the soothing elixir of Nature washes off the traffic and hurried schedules. It is a sensual experience for all your senses.

This will be a place for you; your very own sanctuary, where you can just be. You may notice the mind and body so hungry for the cool breezes, the rustling of leaves, and the sunlight and shadows, that it will devour everything in sight with enthusiasm. You may feel an instantaneous relief and freedom. This solution for a cluttered mind and tension will present itself almost immediately.

 

Besides the benefits of stress relief and wellness there is a great chance that reconnecting with Nature will allow your mind to see things from a higher perspective. The great outdoors is waiting for you.


Thank you for visiting,

Until next time

Nature Loves Appreciation
