 Nature Therapy & Recovery From Substance Abuse

The natural world has immense power to heal people who are pursuing sobriety from substance abuse. From lowering stress to building self-efficacy, exposure to nature can help create lasting change in your life. The following article explores the techniques, science, and numerous benefits of nature therapy for people battling addiction.

What Is Nature Therapy?

Nature therapy, also known as ecotherapy or green therapy, is defined as the practice of spending time in nature as a way to improve your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. The basic idea behind nature therapy is that humans evolved in the natural world and being in nature reminds us of our place in the ecosystem, bringing a sense of calm and belonging to our lives. Nature therapy may encompass various activities like hiking, camping, gardening, forest bathing, and animal-assisted therapies. The overall goal of green therapy is to immerse your senses in the natural world to reduce stress.

Different Types of Nature Therapy

There are many ways to practice nature therapy. Below are some of the most common:

• hiking in natural settings like forests, mountains, or beaches
• disconnecting from technology entirely and camping in the wilderness
• horticultural therapy, also known as gardening or taking care of houseplants
• animal-assisted therapy that may involve equine therapy or spending time with your dog or cat
• forest bathing, which involves utilizing all five senses in nature
• earthing or grounding, which involves sitting or walking barefoot on the earth
• dark nature activities that take place at night, such as stargazing

While there are many types of therapy involving nature, not all of them will be right for your unique needs. Try to find activities you enjoy that allow immersion in nature, which will help elicit the maximum benefit.

Benefits of Nature Therapy for Drug and Alcohol Addiction

People recovering from substance use disorders can benefit greatly from nature therapy. One of the most prominent benefits is how nature therapy can contribute to the reduction of stress, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues that arise or contribute to addiction. Ecotherapy can also promote mindfulness and living in the present moment, as well as boost physical health through outdoor activities. There’s also evidence that being in nature decreases negative thought patterns while increasing self-esteem and emotional well-being. Overall, nature therapy can help you gain mental and physical strength during the addiction recovery process.

Understanding the Sensual Connection with Crystals

Vivien is interviewed by Candia Raquel of candiaraquel.com

Episode #102 The Sensual Magic Of Crystals — Vivien Schapera

Watch on YouTube here

In this episode, Vivian’s insights into integrating the Alexander Technique with crystal healing offer a unique perspective on how we can enhance our sensory experiences of delight and overall well-being. By embracing the principles of awareness, inhibition, and receptivity, we can achieve a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us through sensual pleasure.

Discovering the Intersection of Alexander Technique and Crystal Healing

Candia: Welcome, Vivian! It’s such a pleasure to have you here.

Vivian: Thank you, Candia. I’m honored to be here and excited to share my journey and insights.

Candia: I’m really curious about how you combined Alexander Technique with crystal healing. It seems like quite a unique fusion. Could you share a bit about your background and how these two practices came together for you?

Vivian: Certainly! My journey with crystals began when I was just 10 years old. During a family visit to Namibia, I encountered beautiful pink rose quartz rocks. This experience was incredibly sensual and left a lasting impression on me. I was transfixed by the energy and beauty of these crystals.

On the other hand, I discovered the Alexander Technique much later, around age 20. As a child, I struggled with poor posture, which led to a lot of discomfort and tension in my body. I was seeking a solution to my posture issues and came across the Alexander Technique, which focuses on body alignment and movement.

Interestingly, the Alexander Technique and crystals both found their way into my life through serendipitous moments. Crystals captivated me from a young age, while the Alexander Technique presented itself as the answer I had been searching for to alleviate my posture problems.

Guest Post: Flexibility at Work -Top Strategies for Implementing Remote and Flexible Schedules

As businesses navigate the evolving landscape of work, the adoption of remote work and flexible scheduling has become a pivotal strategy for enhancing employee satisfaction and productivity. Embracing these changes not only caters to the diverse needs of the modern workforce but also offers companies a competitive edge in attracting and retaining top talent. This article from Four Winds Academy explores various strategies that businesses can implement to facilitate a seamless transition to remote work and flexible scheduling, ensuring that both employers and employees reap the benefits of this adaptable approach.

Embrace Remote Work

Remote work not only boosts engagement and job satisfaction but fundamentally transforms work-life balance for employees. Freed from the daily commute, staff gain precious hours that can be redirected toward more sleep, quality moments with family, regular exercise, and crafting nutritious meals. This control over one’s daily schedule reduces stress and increases overall productivity, as employees feel more empowered and less tethered to the constraints of a traditional office setting.

Train for Remote Success

To ensure a smooth transition to remote work, it is crucial to provide staff with adequate training and resources. This includes mastering time management skills, becoming proficient with digital tools, and learning how to set up an ergonomic workspace at home. By offering comprehensive training sessions, businesses can empower employees to excel in a remote setting, minimizing the learning curve and helping them adapt to new technologies and methodologies effectively.

Experts Explain Key Principles of Intuitive Healing

Recently, Vivien was asked by Angela Murphy of Mystic Mag to contribute to an article about Intuitive Healing.

You can read what Vivien and other experts have to say about Intuitive Healing in Mystic Mag’s online article.

Here’s the link.

Vivien writes: “I define intuitive healing as a systematic method for harnessing what we don’t know. What we know is much, much smaller than what we do know. In logic, we proceed systematically from the facts that we do know. This excludes what we don’t know. In intuition, we allow a synergy of what we perceive (know) and what is beyond our perception, to build a new picture that provides new understanding and new information. This new information then has to stand up to a ‘reality test.’ In other words, it must exactly fit in with the known facts, even while providing brand new insight. There are many forms of intuition. Analytical thinking takes many forms, and so does intuitive thinking. My intuitive process, which I teach as ‘reading energy,’ requires a combination of telepathy, empathic resonance, kinesthetic sensitivity, claircognizance, clairaudience, clairsentience, clairvoyance, and channeling. I also teach my students about the mind screen and how to develop a detailed capacity to see energy via this dynamic. For me, intuition is even more systematic and disciplined than analytical thinking, and it requires releasing ego and stepping out of the way of the process.
