Question:

How do you reconnect with nature?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I took a class last year (I'm in grad school) that was called Integrative Psychotherapy and one of the things we had to do was called 'Mindfulness Meditation.' The idea behind this was to find a quiet place and learn meditation skills. We did this outside in a quiet area. I usually went to a garden on campus and this helped me to appreciate nature more because I was in a quiet setting around a lot of beautiful flowers, trees, etc. There are books on this technique which you can probably find at any major bookstore like Barnes and Noble or Borders Books. I also used this meditation practice in the wilderness while camping and I found it to be very relaxing. I have reconnected with the outdoors and look forward to more outdoor activities once the snow melts!! Hope this helps or interests you!
