Added 2020-12-29 01:12:47 +0000 UTCS P I R I T Spending time in nature has been shown to lower the levels of cortisol, a key stress hormone. The sights, sounds, and experiences associated with being in nature can have a soothing effect on your nervous system, slowing heart rate and normalizing respiration, 🩸 pressure, and several other key stress markers associated with the fight-or-flight response. In addition, natural settings are rich in primordial sounds, or the most basic and fundamental sounds of nature. These sounds are intrinsically calming and nurturing, helping your mind and body slip into a more healthy and balanced state. To make the most of being out of doors and in nature, you need to make it a conscious, intentional act. Take some time this week to appreciate the interaction between your body, the planet, and the cosmos. 🌎 👫🏽✨
