Today, we're diving into the profound connection between human potential and the natural world. Whether you're a city dweller longing for greenery or a nature enthusiast seeking deeper insights, this episode will inspire you to harness the transformative power of nature. Have you ever noticed how a walk in the park or time spent at the beach seems to clear your mind and energize your spirit? It's not just in your head—science backs this up. Research shows that spending time in nature can enhance creativity, reduce stress, and improve cognitive function. A study from Stanford University found that walking in natural environments can decrease negative thinking patterns and boost overall mental well-being. Meanwhile, Japanese forest bathing, or “Shinrin-yoku,” has been linked to reduced cortisol levels and a stronger immune system. It's clear that nature isn't just a backdrop; it's a catalyst for unlocking our full potential. Ready to experience the benefits of nature for yourself? Here are five simple ways to integrate the natural world into your life: Start Small: Take a 10-minute walk outside daily, even if it's just around your neighborhood. Green Your Space: Add plants to your home or office for a touch of nature's calming presence. Digital Detox Outdoors: Leave your devices behind and focus on your surroundings during outdoor activities. Explore Local Parks: Find a nearby park or trail and make it your go-to spot for reflection and relaxation. Try Earthing: Walk barefoot on grass, sand, or soil to reconnect with the earth's energy.   Nature is more than a place; it's a partner in our journey toward self-discovery and growth. When we reconnect with the natural world, we rediscover ourselves. So, whether you're climbing mountains or simply enjoying a sunset, remember: nature is your ally in unlocking your limitless potential.

Heather's intimate writing style draws on her varied life experiences and works as a clinical counselor to remind us all that in our tough or embarrassing moments; we are not alone. Heather's first best-selling anthology, awfully hilarious: stories we never tell, won the Canadian Book Club Awards readers' choice for best anthology in 2023. The second anthology in the series, period pieces, tells truths in an attempt to end shame around menstruation and menopause.  In this episode of The Practice of Therapy podcast, Heather delves into the profound healing potential of nature and its evolving role in therapy. She highlights the age-old recognition of nature's therapeutic benefits, from historical examples like tuberculosis patients who thrived in Central Park in the early 1900s, to modern initiatives such as Outward Bound that harness nature for growth and resilience. Heather also shares her personal journey, revealing how a condition affecting one in twenty menstruating individuals often goes undiagnosed due to societal stigma and stresses the importance of clinical vigilance. Additionally, she discusses the success of her anthology series "Awfully Hilarious," born from a shared experience of dating mishaps during COVID-19, which underscores the therapeutic power of humor and storytelling. Through these narratives, Heather illustrates how nature-based and community-driven approaches can revitalize both personal and professional practices, offering new perspectives on healing and connection.

Marie Helene is a true innovator in the wellness space. We discuss Marie Helene's early years working in dolphin rebirthing therapy. Part of the healing comes from the environment of being in the water, which is like being in the womb. There are so many lessons communicated through nature that are not available in most normal modern environments. Wild environments truly bring wild experiences!Dolphins aren't always immediately available, of course, and we discuss an immediately accessible technique for reconnecting with nature called the sit spot. Reconnecting with nature is essential to reconnect with our essence. This is the path to aging with grace and part of Helene Marie's mission to re-educate people about aging. Instead of experiencing aging as approaching the end of life, it's the time when we can experience the most beautiful aspects of life and expand into who we've always wanted to be. Marie shares a powerful practice for redefining your purpose and bringing your real motivations to the surface so they can be celebrated or worked on. Attitude is everything when it comes to aging, and I hope this episode inspires you to lean into your age, whatever that may be!Special thanks to listener GabyUSA10 for their five-star review and tuning in each week!If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Marie Helene's wellness journeyDolphin therapy for healingThe Sit Spot practiceChanging the aging conversationRedefine your purposeAsking the why five times practiceBeing an eternal studentPast Episodes Mentioned:Gestalt Equine Therapy with Melissa ClaryConnect with Marie Helene Roussell: Learn more on Marie's websiteConnect with Marie on FacebookFollow Marie on InstagramConnect with Marie on LinkedInFollow Marie on TikTokGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter My WebsiteInstagramContact MeSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at https://mailchi.mp/danafrost/vitallyyouCredit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

This episode is about something near and dear to my heart, getting into nature.   Nature therapy is one of my most used and powerful tools to heal and to improve my mental health. Brittany Crane of the company Get out there Girl is my guest.  Brittany is a living example of getting outside, seeking and creating adventures and encouraging other women to do the same.  She plans regular adventurous retreats for women to get them outside and to gain all the benefits of nature and connection with other women. We chat about self compassion and how that is a tool we need in our toolbelt to heal and to take the leap to take care of ourselves.   It is the most amazing process to give yourself the love and compassion you would give to a dear friend. There is a growing science that shows that the four hormones which promote wellbeing - endorphin, serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin are boosted during sensory immersion in Nature. Walking 7,500 steps a day is also linked to a longer, healthier life as physical activity releases endorphins. Brittany has also created a clothing line for active women to wear when they get outside and into nature.  It is called Olli adventure.  I have a pair of her joggers and they are awesome!

This episode my guest is Alan Heeks, former corporate world inhabitant, organic farmer, coach and author of the book ‘Natural Happiness'. After his transition into organic farming, Alan realised that “a cultivated organic ecosystem is a profound guide to tending human nature, and that organic growth methods have parallels for people: such as composting your stress, and using crop rotation to avoid burnout.” We explore the idea further… About Alan Heeks Alan Heeks had a baptism by mud at age 42, when he dropped out of a successful business career and followed a wild impulse to start an organic farm as an education centre where young people could find their roots and direction as they entered adult life.       Despite Alan's lack of any relevant experience, the project succeeded, and gave him a huge education too. He explains, "I realised that a cultivated organic ecosystem is a profound guide to tending human nature, and that organic growth methods have parallels for people: such as composting your stress, and using crop rotation to avoid burnout."       Alan's new book about this approach, Natural Happiness, also draws on the workshops he has led for hundreds of people sharing his insights, from troubled teenagers to super-stressed NHS doctors. Alan and his wife Linda live in Hay-on-Wye, and grow many of their own vegetables.   Links www.naturalhappiness.net  Twitter  Facebook  LinkedIn  YouTube  Other episodes if you liked this one: Forest Bathing - Forest Bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, is the practice of immersing yourself in nature as therapy.
