Introduction
Have you ever found yourself stepping outdoors when you felt frustrated or stressed? After a few minutes of fresh air, the tension melted away. Or perhaps you sought the serenity of nature when you needed to make a difficult decision, and the vastness and neutrality of the natural world helped you put your personal situation into perspective, allowing a solution to come to you. Or have you found inspiration in the sound of birds chirping or the sight of verdant trees?
Yes, nature heals. And it awakens the nobility of the human spirit. We all know this from our own experience. But oftentimes, our busy modern-day living prevents us from being focused and present in the natural world.
The stress driving you up the wall, the ailments breaking your body, and the constant emptiness you feel might be caused by one thing: your distance from Mother Nature.
Living in an urbanized culture for so long has robbed you of the chance to connect with nature, the true home and origin of humankind and the one thing that can replenish your energy to face every day’s challenges, be they a highly demanding household or a very hectic job.
With this course, you're never too far gone to return to your roots. All you need is 15 minutes every day to let nature heal you and become part of you once again.
A growing body of science is showing that nature is darn good for you.
Many of us have intuitively known the healing power of nature—and research is proving us right. That includes spending time in nature, but it even includes looking at natural scenes out a window and listening to recorded sounds from nature.

I was energized and rejuvenated.
This is a beautifully spoken and musically accompanied reflection on the elements of Mother Earth. The sounds of the elements are so very evocative of being in beloved outdoor places while being in my home. I relaxed into a supportive and nurturing mind/heart experience. At the same time, I was energized and rejuvenated for action in my daily life. I look forward to this guided meditation being part of my self care and enjoyable spiritual journeys.
