The Awe of Nature Therapy
Did you know that getting out into nature improves your health?
Research has shown that a short walk in a natural environment can immediately lower your blood pressure and reduce your anxiety. Using mindfulness techniques to focus on the beauty and awe of our natural environment can improve and sustain that benefit. Being in awe of something greater than ourselves can give us a mental health boost for an extended period of time.
So get outside and enjoy the natural beauty of BC. Watch the waves coming into shore and let yourself be amazed by their power. Walk in our coastal forest and stand in awe of our ancient trees. Take your children into nature with you and watch in wonder at their excitement as they see new creatures for the first time.
Get out there, breathe, and just be.
