THE BACKGROUND
I have recently moved away from a place with access to that river.
For the last 5 years this small forest and river have relentlessly
reminded me that no matter what I believe I am, my body belongs to nature. The genome of my cells evolves within nature, and the genome of the organisms which dwell on me — like bacteria, fungi, and parasites — evolves in nature. My consciousness is transmitted through my mind the most smoothly when I’m in nature.
We are slowly entering times when younger ones might never have experienced and older ones might already forget how it feels inside your body and mind if you spend at least 2 days fully immersed in nature. Here is what I mean by that: walking barefoot, looking only at natural light, jumping into the chilling river and lake, breathing properly charged air, listening only to the tune of birds, and letting your cells hear only the geomagnetic fields of the earth.
I could provide countless evidence of how each of the above influences our cells, but not today.
The magic dance of colors, sound, and feeling which creates a perfect union cannot fully be described by science. If you stay there long enough, you know you have come back home. The "home" which makes you not want to come back to your house...
Having that experience, I ponder on and on about the fact that my deeply traumatized grandparents (who survived World War II in Poland) were coping mentally better than modern teenagers who grew up in a trauma-informed society (and of course that is a good thing). Regardless of the fact that each case is very unique, one of the statistical differences in coping with what dwells in the past is the environment.
Regardless of what paradigm of healing you are trying now, whatever method you are using to get back to health, try assessing your health after spending a couple of days in nature.
Check your arthritis, see how your IBS will respond to the same food after two days of being barefoot , assess your anxiety after two days of looking at trees, evaluate your autoimmune disorder after exposure to the full spectrum of natural light, check your hypertension and blood levels... The background of where we heal is the foundation, but it has to be discovered individually.
