THE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES WE HAD DEMONSTRATE HOW NATURE CAN RESTORE AND HEAL US
An Organic Psychology Report from an Online Course Participant
The most important thing I learned from reading the book "The Web of Life Imperative" and participating in the corresponding on-line study group, is that Nature can heal us and itself if we let it. How can this be accomplished? By respecting nature -and ourselves as part of nature- enough to allow nature's restorative powers to take effect.
Through my participation in this course I came to the conclusion- that I am "a part" of nature, not "apart"
from nature. This realization came to me as I was taking the time to reconnect with a tree in my back yard. The air was crisp and clean and I could feel the energy and power of this tree. I suddenly received an overwhelming feeling of calm and knew that "everything was alright and would be alright." I
knew that I was just as wise, unique, and important as this tree.I now know that I can access this power and wisdom at any time or in any place. I just have to choose to do
so. Throughout the day of this activity and during the many days since, I have repeatedly been able to "plug-in" to nature,s healing whenever and wherever it is needed. Whenever I am feeling run-down or disconnected I can take the time to recharge and let nature help improve my mental and physical well-being. It is remarkable to realize how many ailments can be immediately effected by fresh air, fresh water, sunshine and movement. I have personally found that chronic ailments such as headaches, back and hip pain, depression, and a lack of energy can all be turned around with even a few minutes of time outdoors. All it takes is caring for and respecting myself enough to take this time.The experience I had in nature was mirrored by my fellow study group participants. Throughout the course as we shared our experiences it was evident that nature was providing us all with a healing sense of peace and connection. We discussed our observations of how a seemingly upsetting and challenging day could be turned around by spending time with nature. One participant was struggling with feelings of overwhelming stress and worry until going to a park and seeing birds flying over head. This person,s pain and negative feelings gave way to calm and a feeling that the problems were transitory. This participant was also able to find a natural cure for her child,s illness which resulted in a greater respect and feeling of connection to the soil in her yard.
The positive experiences our group had are examples of
how nature can restore and heal us and itself if it is
allowed to do so. As the only species that lives out of balance and creates garbage, it is our responsibility to be aware of the consequences of our actions. How will our disregard for nature's health impact the planet we are leaving our children and our children's children?I recently watched a television program that showed how even a 2% restoration of wetland areas could have a 50% improvement in the quality of run off spilling into our streams, rivers, and oceans. Nature is able to effectively filter even our toxic pesticides and fertilizers if we will only temper our greed and pursuit of "progress" long enough to allow this restoration to take place.
Taking this Organic Psychology course teaches the participant the skills necessary to reconnect with nature and access this connection for self-restoration whenever it is needed. Instead of feeling isolated and in conflict with nature, after completing the course activities, one feels centered, whole, and a valuable,
unique part of "all that is." By rekindling our appreciation for nature's complexity, we begin to care about the effects our actions have on our environment. Just as spending time in nature can rejuvenate and balance us, we may find answers to the environmental problems we have created if we can only show respect and "let nature heal"

"Human behavior is rooted most deeply in nature's intentions and desire. The rhythms of nature underlie all of human interaction: religious traditions, economic systems, cultural and political organization. When these human forms betray the natural psychic pulse, people and societies get sick, nature is exploited and entire species are threatened."
-Stephen Aizenstat
In industrial society our excessively nature-separated lives mold us to betray the natural psychic pulse. We learn to block from our thinking over 98 percent of the wise sensory callings and fulfillments we normally receive from natural systems and their eons of experience. Our subconscious hurt and frustration from the severed disconnection of these senses underlies our greatest troubles.-Michael J. Cohen
