Earth's Potential and Gardening 2.0. Let's Get Dirty... Again. Creative Copes Episode 6 - Ecotherapy

In this episode, we learn about Nature Therapy, and how it is basically a Gardening 2.0 course with some scientific jargon thrown in for good measure. We do our mental/physical check in's, including our dogs' lifestyles and how they are ultimately spoiled little creatures with full access to fireplaces and human bed comforters. We speak of Green Therapy, Blue Therapy and the different subcategories of each.

Ecotherapy is a fancy term to base the concept of using nature to help us heal. We discuss the benefits of utilizing this low to no cost, highly effective way to improve psychological wellness and ways it can decrease stress, anxiety and depression. "We need nature in our bodies and in our minds." - Mita. And she is right. We need to take our shoes off and have skin to soil contact with the vibrations of the earth. It grounds us and has these tremendous health benefits.

So, regardless of the weather, slip off your shoes for a few seconds and feel something moving into your soul. There are plenty of articles to delve into further if you'd like to learn more. Join us in this conversation of how nature and ecotherapy can benefit you in your Creative Copes to deal with whatever life throws your way.

Love and light and some earthly good vibrations . xoxox, Jen ♥
