Green Livin Do You Need Nature Therapy?

Green Livin Get back to green basics

One of the best ways to groom your inner green is to reconnect with nature. Understanding the significance of living a green life becomes a lot more important when you realize that you're part of nature yourself. I'm a firm believer that when I'm in my biggest funk simply walking outside can help me snap out of it. It's a reminder that there is just so much more to life than the minute issue currently overwhelming my thoughts. Is this therapy? What's Nature Therapy?

I believe that a holistic path of healing includes a personal and intimate connection with the natural world.

There are tons of programs that encourage reconnecting with the wilderness. The intention is to restore balance, harmony, inspiration, and imagination by attuning to the energies and seasons of nature.Nurture your greener side with afternoon medicine walks. The non-strenuous walk can be in a group or in solitude.

Go alone into nature for an allotted period of time and go back to basics. Don't worry, you learn what you will need to know about equipment and using a backpack, safety procedures, wilderness ethics, and minimal impact camping.

I believe in ecopsychology, a practice that joins psychology and ecology to assist us in remembering we are part of a very big life process and that we are embedded in nature.
Don't fret because you can practice nature therapy at home or plan your own therapeutic trip:

Pick a Saturday and go on a nature walk. I didn't say hike for a reason because the point of the walk is not the intense workout that you get from climbing a mountain; but rather, quieting your mind. Or if possible, sign up for a guided nature walk in your area.

Plan a camping trip or go national park hopping and check out all the spectacular nature out there. From Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the United States has the largest national park system in the world all waiting to be explored.
