MARVELLOUS DOCTOR. Bring Nature home!!!!! Don't mow the lawn till it looks like your living room carpet. Let it thrive together with all the living beautiful creatures that depend on plants to live. Observe them, breathe with them. You'll heal your body and your soul.
This was superb. I practically lived in the woods as a child. At 39 years old I find myself more and more craving to be out in the trees. I hold near to my heart the image of that ‘special place’ that as a 10 year old I went to to be alone and to be in awe. It was a small creek that was filled with small boulders, each one covered with thick, beautiful green moss. I remember it vividly to this day, can hear the trickle of the water and smell the total green-ness around me. To this day I find comfort, solace and plenty of awe every time I visit the woods and try to get there at least a few times a week. Thank you for a great Ted talk! The work you are doing is important.
I know im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
Thank you so much for this insight. So important! I was fortunate enough to spend my first five years of life on an 11-acre farm and had freedom that my children, who grew up in an urban environment, never experienced. I remember taking them for a walk on a trail around a golf course and my son saying, "You go first Mom, in case there are spiders." I made an effort to get them out as much as possible, and always requested hikes in nature for my birthday and every Mother's Day. They complained but loved it. My early childhood was impoverished, but in many ways, it was a richer than the ones my sons had.
"Don't take a picture." I like that. To me that means experience the experience rather than needing to post it on Facebook to show others what we are experiencing. I thought of this last week. good to post things, but sometimes it can take away form being present with whatever it is that we are experiencing.
Your work and speech is inspiring. It is so important that more professional is wellness and healthcare realize that we could prevent or even treat some of the illnesses by getting in touch with nature. I am a wellness professional and Nature Therapy and Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) are still so underrated in our field. We have worked with many independent practitioners and our mission is to promote the practice of Shinrin Yoku to a larger group of people. But unless larger wellness establishments or medical institutions adopt the practice, our fellow human will still have no clue how simply being in nature can promote health and well-being.
I never go into nature. I'm going to make it a priority to do so. I used to enjoy the bustle of the city but the past few years it's really disturbing me to never have quiet or feel peaceful
Spiritual Soul Yes it is true that our generation spends the most time on their phones, I know! But I am always outside and none of my friends will ever come with me so maybe to encourage more people to go outside you could start with maybe telling the ones who don’t?
@@caitlinwest272 actually let me take back what I said. Men go by themselves no problem. Women can't do it. Yet they can go by themselves to the mall😂😂. Another thing is I bet Men vs Woman...If we counted the amount of Masks worn on both sides women would have a far greater number because even tho I've seen more men in nature.... The woman I've seen in masks in nature definitely outweighed the men. Why are they putting masks in nature? Oh is it because the media said so?
A lovely talk, and a lovely subject. I don't want to sound critical though but, I kind of disagree with her opening statement. We do 'belong' in nature...but nature does not "belong" to us. It isn't something to be owned..it should be a reciprocal relationship I feel.
This was so wonderfully presented! Nature therapy can truly help reduce stress - if you're interested in hearing from an outdoor therapist, I recently interviewed one over on my page! Check it out to hear more about outdoor therapy as well as mens mental health and training to become a therapist!
How very interesting to hear all of this. We knew all of this once as Americans. John Muir & Thoreau, as well as countless others have advocated nature & all the outdoors. Part of being an American was having a relationship with the Natural World. Outdoorspeople, granny healers, naturalists............ John Young & the Coyote Mentoring Connecting with Nature. "If we stay inside in front of our screens, than we become the interior of our houses & our devices & screens. We then miss 99% of what happens within & without the rest of the world. Please pay careful attention, all the mongers of "mindfulness, social & emotional wellness, self care. All the eggheads who want to plop our children in front of computers & call it education. What you have watched is the solution to what to do besides talking-talking-talking. Take your students outside, take your children outside. Let them find answers. Keep a watchful eye BUT.......stop trying to control everything. They are smart. They can find answers. Let them use their devices with I-Naturalist to identify plants, animals & fungi. Teach them basic outdoors safety. Learn it if you don't know it so they & or you do not blunder into poison ivy or a ground wasp nest. Let them make discoveries such as the hidden nests, birds calling but yet unseen, the ant as it makes its way to its anthill, the hum & flow of wild honeybees in an old squirrel hole, the scat from a coyote, the drilling of a woodpecker, the miracle of decomposition. These resources are right under our noses & the out of doors is the best medicine for these trying times. Find those places in your state & county. The rivers, the fossil steams, the woods & forests, the beaches that aren't packed with human activity. We may yet have hope.
i take my son out. and he is so bored. just sits on the truck tail gate or inside the truck waiting to go home:( i love nature and don't know how to help him engage. i think he needs a friend to go out with?
Brad Anderson You might need to re-cultivate the child in you. Look at things close up, and recognize the brilliance there, the veins of a leaf, the drops of dew on it. Express your interest and awe, and play it up a little bit, saying “OH my gosh!! Have you ever seen this!?” You might need to get creative about it, and so it a few times as you look closer and closer, but he will follow suit. Eventually he will find interesting what YOU find interesting.
@@ellegraph4740 HI. thank yo for your message. i like the reminder that he will eventually catch my enthusiasm and not let it dim bc he doesn't follow suit right away. i get discouraged and frustrated, but i will have a more long term approach that eventually he will, even if he doesn't now. He is 13 and a little more "rebellious" and expressing his wants more and not wanting to do something bc i ask or want. he sees me excited in awe about stuff, but not catching on right away. i just need to keep it up, and not expect instant magic. I remember how he was resistant to other things, then became very interested, like i would catch him hugging trees to ground himself and release his anxiety through the tree to the root system for the microryza to decompose for food or to recieve the energy that comes from the tree as a by product similar to situation like oxygen as a waste product for the tree. thanks so much!
@@bradanderson6350 I understand what you mean- kids' opinions and criticism can sometimes hit home! But, there is so much beauty in awe to be found in nature. Maybe it'll be easier than you think to inspire that in him. How old is he? I got a cheap microscope as a kid and it opened a whole new world of possibilities just to see nature from a different vantage point. I'd celebrate when I got cuts so I could see red blood cells rushing on the plate, and watch them clot. Now I'm applying to med school, so this may just be me. But I remember it being really fun to collect things outside and wonder what they'd look like close up!
Unfortunately in the UK there are now no places where you can definitely escape bleeping alarms. Due to health and safety forcing these meaningless and ineffective alarms on vehicles reversing we are plagued by noise poison. By coincidence the exact scientific proven ratio of depressions, anxiety and mental illness has shot up since they have been implemented.
Where? I've been trying for 10 years to find somewhere I know people who having to buy property for millions of pounds in italy to try and find somewhere where you can escape the alarms, even then delivery lorries will poison your nervous system. Bleeping alarms are one of the scientifically proven causes of mental illness. And constant repetition is well known as a worse form of troture than physical pain. @@AmanitaWoodrose
Whole world knows the significance of ayurveda,but they are not ready to accept it because we are not white And trying to copy it in different manners and saying we discovered this we discovered that and making patent

@Anders Lian instablaster :)
evidence based research is the way to go. and reconnecting with nature will help us love and respect our environment more. This is where it starts
Thank you. I am a Forest School leader in the UK and I agree with your every word. Nature is the best remedy!
What a moving talk! Beautiful, thank you! It's so important to come back to nature in this age of technology.
Wow this is far far ahead and everything we need

None of you guys go into nature. Go back on your phones !
Spiritual Soul i’m an environmental studies major, stop it.

When indians told about it.. About ayurvedic and nature they are mocked... To say something significant you need to have white skin. 🤔🤔
i hear you
So freaking true
I am listening!
Whole world knows the significance of ayurveda,but they are not ready to accept it because we are not white
And trying to copy it in different manners and saying we discovered this we discovered that and making patent
Well that's simply not true.
