When we are in the intact, free nature, we are positively and beneficially affected by the sounds, colors, shapes and scents of the plants, stones, animals and water on a psychological and physical level.
Quite different with the things made by people, such as electric light, car and city noise, excessive consumption of fast food, television, etc., these have a negative and unhealthy on the psychological and physical level in the long run.
Nature offers us much that we do not get over our everyday consumer goods. "Acceptance with what is right now" is nature's master. When we are in nature, we are part of this "acceptance of what is right now". This kind of acceptance creates clarity, action and serenity.
Finally out of the search for the appropriate consumer goods so I feel better, purely in the experience of diverse nature in the form of flowing waters, mighty mountains, dense forests and lush, colorful plants.
Many students have said that you experience a kind of natural harmony through mindfulness exercises in nature, with yourself and nature. This harmony with oneself and nature is often described as coming home. A home come into the own nature of the human being.
But we do not need to go so deep, alone the natural rhythm, day and night, as well as in the evening to calm down the nature, the many different colors and the natural sounds, as well as essential oils that the plants emanate, help us, more balanced and to become more relaxed. We do not have to do anything at all, only to rest in what is happening in nature. Everything else happens then by itself.
We can deepen this inner peace through various meditation exercises and exercises for mindfulness, as well as an understanding of how our mind works, and thus bring it into everyday life. Rest in what is happening without taking or rejecting something. If we do not immediately grasp or reject something, we have time to see what I'm doing with what I've experienced. Do I and reinforce a current life situation, with suspicion, anger, avarice or similar unwholesome mental states, or am I trying to meet a current life situation, with understanding, tolerance, compassion. This possibility of free action is crucial for one's own experience of happiness or suffering in life. If we have cultivated this way of dealing with exercises, we can experience happiness arising out of ourselves, regardless of external circumstances. That's really free.
