Why nature is so soothing?

Why peace is easier to find in nature, next to trees and rivers?

Because the beauty of it makes us let go of thoughts and reconnects us to our true self. The sound of the flowing river pulls your focus off thoughts and awareness of sound emerges. The wonderful smell of flowers connects us to our sense of smell and makes us remember to feel the breath as we breathe in to get to know the smell of that particular kind of flower. The light of the sun reveals the light within you. The colors of the sunset make us pause and observe in awe, the stillness, the peacefulness of it all makes us calm just like a distressed child seizes to cry in the hands of a calm mother. The brutality of nature when a predator chases down and kills its prey is brutal. But yet it is so shockingly pure and honest, REAL, that I can't do much but just observe and take it all in. It's just the fact that it is so real which is nothing short of a miracle and almost unbelievable. 

Nature reminds us of who we truly are, life itself and not some limiting identity created by thoughts.

Because deep down we know that is what we are. We are not separate from nature, we are nature. It lessens the burden of feeling like a separate self as you feel yourself as part of something much bigger.

Daily life is almost always filled with more annoyance or inconvenience or resistance than a walk in the woods.

Our hunter gatherer ancestors would be like “Peace?? Bruh, my niece just got eaten by a lion last week!”

That’s a great question, I’ve often wondered the same.

 

Why do you thinkpeace is easier to find in nature?

No ego.

But it's not so soothing to be trapped in a flood, hurricane, hailstorm, or heatwave.

Notice how biased you are about which nature you love and which you hate.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Because the environments and lifestyles created by the post-industrial age are far removed from our phylogenetic roots. Modern people have about 60 000 thoughts per day, meanwhile pre-modern tribal people have about 1 000 - 10 000 thoughts a day.


Intrinsic joy is revealed in the marriage of meaning and being.

Humans have learned to tame nature, so we only experience the good side of it for most of the time. You will quickly change your mind once you try living in the wild. Well, you don't need that even, just one persisting fly could make your life a living hell.


Foolish until proven other-wise ;)
