Getting Back to Nature
Being in nature is the best way to recharge your batteries and get back in touch with yourself. A walk on the beach or in the forest, a bike ride in the park or through the country can do wonders for your physical and mental well-being. There is a much higher number of what are known as ‘negative ions’ in clean fresh air. Technically speaking, ions are charged particles in the air that are formed in nature. It is the negative ion of oxygen that affects human biochemistry the most.
If you live in the city and work in an air-conditioned office, you will sometimes go for days without breathing any real clean air. Computers, electrical appliances, air conditioning and pollution are more prevalent and can deplete negative ions. Studies have shown that some people can become depressed, get headaches more easily and suffer more from other health problems such as eyestrain when the negative ion count is low.
To replenish and recharge make sure you take time regularly to reconnect with mother nature, breathe the fresh air and take in the sights and sounds around you. Water is a great ioniser! Being by the water, swimming, boating, even having a bath or shower can improve the way you feel. You only have to notice the feeling in the air after rain to know that water has a very cleansing effect both physically and mentally.
An aromatherapy vaporizer can do the same thing when you are using quality pure essential oils. People generally feel significantly happier and more energetic when the negative ion count is high. Taking time to acknowledge this will enable you to cope with city life with renewed energy and strength.
