31: Connect with Nature


Listen Later

Today's episode will inspire you to connect with nature to improve your health and wellbeing. You can be intentional about the time you spend with nature whether you love to go away on epic adventures off the beaten track far from the cities and towns, or whether you connect with nature in ordinary everyday ways. Did you know that it's possible to connect with nature and enjoy the benefits even if you can't get outside? And the way you prefer to connect with nature might be different to the way others connect and that’s completely ok.
 
Connecting with nature benefits our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Nature is a place and space to feel fully alive whether it’s through stillness or activity and nature is a judgement-free zone. Where else do you experience that kind of freedom?
 
Nature also has ways of talking us, but not in the usual way that you hear this podcast or read words in a blog. Nature's language is symbolic and can be felt deep in your heart. You simply just need to be there, immersed in a natural environment or with one of nature's gifts to feel supported, connected and understood. It's a space to process your inner and outer life and it reminds you that you're part of a much bigger world.

You can also use your imagination to help you connect with nature when you can't be outside. Visualisation practices are the ultimate virtual reality that can connect you with nature no matter where you are!
