Show Notes
In episode 35 of the nature therapy podcast I talk about the non-identification of Earth’s life. We spend so much of our time giving nature labels and names to identify things, but what happens when we try the opposite?
What happens when we try to calm our minds for a little while, and take a non-identification walk in nature? By this, I mean trying our best to see everything as an expression of life, rather than applying names and ‘facts’ to everything we see; ‘an oak tree’, ‘a sparrow’ etc.
As people, we so often feel that in order to understand things, we need to learn as much as possible about them. Whilst it may be an essential part of being a functioning human being, sometimes it stops us from truly experiencing the wonder of what is in front of us. We can get lost in our identifications and thoughts, and we cease to connect with nature through our senses—as one life form to another.
