Relaxing Into Deep Sensory Awareness With Nature (Podcast)

In today’s podcast we’re talking about one of the most essential internal skills for activating deep knowledge & appreciation of the natural world.

This is the ability to maintain complete relaxation of your mind, body & emotions, while at the same time engaging profound activation of sensory awareness.

Consider the following:

The human nervous system has two modes of action… sympathetic & parasympathetic.

Sympathetic is your stress response (fight or flight response), while the parasympathetic nervous system is your relaxation response.

It’s important to realize that both the active & passive sides of our nervous system are necessary to maintain balance, achieve our goals & create the life we want for ourselves (yin & yang).

The problem is most people have imbalances in their nervous system.

If your mind is too active, or you have too much physical/emotional stress, it interferes with your ability to fully engage the senses.

This becomes especially important if you’ve ever tried to do a sit spot or sense meditation while your mind is in sympathetic overload (busy, or feeling stressed out).

So let’s explore a simple technique that restores balance to your nervous system, while activating your full potential to unlock the mysteries of nature!
