6 Million Years Outside

They remind us how we have spent 6 million years outside with nature, so that it is natural for us as humans to be out there. We need to reconnect with nature, not on a rushed hike, but taking it slowly and using all of our senses to experience what is around us.

How many times have you gone on a walk, checked your watch before, and and been proud of yourself when you got home under an allotted time? We need to take the time to walk and actually appreciate what is around us. Stop and use your nose to smell the forest air, and realise that it is different from that on your street. Actually look and see what is beneath your feet. See the light glinting off the raindrops on the grass. Listen to the wind blowing the leaves and the sound of the birds singing. You will be amazed what is out there…

Virtual forest bathing.

Virtual forest bathing.

Brilliant magazine article, which explains the benefits of virtual forest bathing. It suggests how people in hospital can recover quicker if they have a view of nature, as opposed to the view of a wall. Also, how an experiment in a correctional institute is underway, showing the prisoners nature videos whilst exercising as opposed to not, created calmer behaviour. Furthermore, a study by Roger Ulrich concluded that nature photographs on walls reduced pain and anxiety. Suggesting to me, that my website can indeed have health benefits for those people who can’t actually get into the forest to bathe. If the weather is bad, or you are too busy you can still enjoy nature. At the click of a button you can listen to the birds sing. You can watch video clips of nature in action. In addition, you can see images of nature through the seasons slide before your eyes.
