Why do we feel so good in nature? Why does spending time in nature make us feel so peaceful and serene? And why do so many of us want to spend time in places of natural beauty?
The human brain is an amazing instrument, and we have within it, what is called mirror neurons. These mirror neurons allow us to learn through a feedback system, such as someone smiling, we smile in response, or when someone yawns, we yawn too. These mirror neurons dissolve the barrier between people, so you can feel their pain, their happiness, their emotions. More importantly, these mirror neurons allow us to have empathy for others.
When we spend time in nature, we feel calm and peaceful, because nature is actually mirroring back to us, what is already within us. We don't have to get anything, buy anything or inhale anything; peace and serenity is our resting place, our centre of gravity, our home. And the miracle of nature, reflects our true calm, serene self, back to us.
