Engrossed in our professional life, we are always busy and stressed out these days. De-stressing for many these days means partying, drinking alcohol, smoking, etc. However, not only are these habits hazardous to health but they also add on to the stress.
One can spend time amidst nature to relieve from the pressure of the artificial world. Technology depicts the mind, whereas, the nature depicts the body. There is lot of similarity between the internet and our brain, since; it stores a lot of information.
However, nature is similar to our body, which comprises of physical laws, soulful connection and the present.
Maintaining the balance between nature & technology
People these days use technology to de-stress themselves. For example, activities like watching a movie, playing a video game, etc. affect our nervous system, as they do not allow it to calm down.
De-stressing in the midst of nature doesn’t necessarily mean going for a vacation. It can be those little moments you spend on your terrace, sitting below a tree reading a book, walking by the lake or simply staring at the sky. These simple yet effective methods can help you relax.
The healing power of nature:
Elements in the earth have wonderful healing powers. For example, the electrical currents generated in the nature remove toxic energy from our body. As Dr. Mercola mentions, the electrons present in the atmosphere cool down inflammations on our body. The inner body pollution or the bad electricity within us is removed due to these effects called “Grounding” or “Earthing.” The procedure for grounding is simple. You just need to walk barefoot on grass, sand or brick. Or simply lay down on the ground.
Other benefits:
Nature helps us attain balance of thoughts. Many thoughtful changes arise. For eg: stops the thought of comparing ourselves to our peers, developing patience etc. On the contrary, technology induces the exact opposite. For example impatience, instant satisfaction, etc.
Developing your own indoor nature
Growing plants in your house is an easy way to develop nature indoors. Plants maintain the oxygen level in the house and also have a high healing power. Gardening is one such method to connect to the nature.
Technology: Healing benefits
If used accurately, technology can have many health benefits, as it develops connectivity between like-minded individuals. Reading inspirational stories or discussing problems with counselors online can be of instant help. Many online applications like GI Bodyguard, Let panic Go and My fitness pal can help us detox our mind.
Summary:
The right indulgence in nature and technology can help you live a healthy and peaceful life. Addiction to technology has its own cons and can be hazardous over a period of time.
