How the Outdoors Can Heal and Ground Us
A simple reminder...

Everything is in movement and stillness
The earth
The trees
The insects
The birds
The water
The air
The metal
The fire
Inhabit them and sense their flow and stillness.

Connection To Nature Is Essential For Mental Health. As a species, humans evolved embedded within the natural world, and our bodies and minds are wired to interact with it.

Have you ever thought that #mentalhealth difficulties might not only be personal (or family) in nature but also caused by illnesses of the society you live in?
I propose discussing the need for something that could be called #sociotherapy.
Yes, there is #ecopsychology, but ... we have a discussion here including Glenn Albrecht in the context of his #symbiocene concept https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7260696490308730881/
"In 1976, Stamatis Moraitis was given six months to live ... he left America to spend his last days on earth on the Greek island of Ikaria.
Months became years. And as time passed, his health did not worsen. In fact, it improved."

My walls are my armor\
They shield me from the world\
keeps out the weather,\
the beasts and the stranger\
Inside is a human realm\
Here, it is I who stand at the helm\
Animals, pushed to the outside\
the open and the wild\
Inside, everything is clean\
the absence of dirt glowing with its sheen\
My carriage is my legs\
My castle in miniature\
Through the gates it takes me\
a journey to the outside\
