Research has shown that contact with nature has a psycho-therapeutic
effect. It also has been proven that being surrounded by nature, with all
the multi-sensory effects it has on us, increases our immunity, improves
resilience and improves our mood. In fact being in a calm environment
allows part of our brain to rest. Mindfulness is a way of being present
without judgment and research has shown that brainwaves change when people
practice this too.
