Listen to Nature II

Listen to Nature II

Everybody should be quiet near a little stream and listen.
                           Ruth Krauss: Open House for Butterflies

Not everybody has a little stream nearby, but perhaps the sea, a lake or even a fountain?  
A large tree works fine, too: you can sit beneath it and listen to the wind going through its leaves.

These sounds of nature are like a reflection of the rhythm of our own hearts. They’re all part of the rhythm of life.

Listening to nature’s sounds has a profoundly calming effect on us. We relax, empty our minds, and feel connected. Slowly our anxiety and worries fall away. We somehow realise what’s important: to just sit there, breathe with nature, and smile.

Do you have a little stream or a big tree in your neighbourhood?
