The Gifts from Nature

Morning Mantra: "Nature is the purest portal to inner peace."

Before Horse Hippie I had a shop called Back to Nature.  It was a place that honored the role of nature in my life.  It was a reflection of my love for the earth, a love instilled in me by my mother.  My mother taught me to see the beauty but also all of the ways nature is such a healer. 

Just think about all she offers to us:
~Watching a sunset or sunrise can regulate your circadian rhythm and calm your mind.
~Walking in a forest can boost your immunity.
~Listening to birdsong can lower anxiety and improve focus.
~The negative ions in ocean air can elevate your mood and energy. 
~The scent of flowers boosts dopamine and serotonin which relieves stress.
~Sunlight provides vitamin D, uplifts moods and regulates sleep.
~The scent of snow contains ozone notes which refresh and clear the mind.
~Mountain views enhance a sense of awe and wonder. 

Yet, with all these benefits, how often do we choose to let her heal us?  The next time you feel stress- hug a tree, walk barefoot in the grass, just sit and watch the sunset or listen to the birds.  Consciously allow nature to offer you her gifts.
