Where’s the Reset button?
Let’s talk about the power in taking a pause from manufactured life, how nature provides a perfect reset for the human body and psyche, and what we can do to improve our health when nature isn’t immediately accessible.
“A new report published today reveals that exposure to greenspace reduces the risk of type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, premature death, preterm birth, stress, and high blood pressure.
Populations with higher levels of greenspace exposure are also more likely to report good overall health -- according to global data involving more than 290 million people.” —Science Daily
No newsflash here. This may be information we already know, but why is nature so nourishing?
Let’s look at Albert Einstein’s theory that everything in the universe is energy. From the air we breathe to the food we eat, to the sights we take in, everything has a pulse, an individual signature that is expressed outwardly, and can nourish our own energy.
The natural world, meaning any green space, carries a high vibratory tone. What do I mean by that? Well, if everything is energy organized in unique patterns to create physical form, each pattern also emits a vibration (think of molecules vibrating on an atomic level), and each vibration emits a sound. Some we can hear with our human ears, some we cannot. We can see some of these vibratory patterns under a microscope, and some we are able to pick up energetically.
Think…emotions. We can’t see emotions but we can feel them.
Like attracts like and there are a multitude of energetic levels we can experience here on earth. The more time we spend in a particular vibration, the more it affects our own energetic being.
Nature emits an extremely high vibrational set of patterns and tones designed to work symbiotically with every living thing. When we bask in nature it works like a tuning fork on our own energetic blueprint and resets vibrational tones within the human body. Our DNA recognizes these natural vibrations and begins to repair. Our blood pressure lowers, our cells repair damaged tissue, and our overall outlook on life can improve. The more time we spend in a natural, peaceful environment, the more balanced we become.
“Keep close to nature’s heart and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” —John Muir
Conversely, the more frequently we spend time in unnatural environments, the higher discord we experience. This can lead to depression and physical or mental illness. Manufactured environments emit a less organized, lower vibrational tone that can actually make us sick.
So what can we do to keep our bodies natural vibration high when nature isn’t immediately accessible?
• physical movement, taking walks, yoga, light aerobic exercise in a group setting (we have classes for these here)
• mindfulness & meditation (we have classes for these, too)
• breath work
• eat organic, nutrient-rich foods
• spend time around people who have a positive outlook on life (ahem, you can find these people at Joule)
• laugh with someone
• perform an act of service
• reduce screen time and increase time spent in natural light
• sit outside for 10-20 minutes while shouting ‘SERENITY NOW!’ (See? You just laughed with me so tick that one off the list)
• keep a regular sleep schedule
As always, we hope this message serves as a reminder that finding peace can be simple. Remain aligned with your health and happiness and wonderful things will begin to unfold for you. And if you need a hand, we’re here. We’ll help you stay connected to what matters.
