In and Among Nature

[Salty Booger]

Does anyone else feel a deep connection when in the forest, at the beach or in any other natural setting? Would you call that a Spiritual Connection?

New Does anyone else feel a deep connection when in the forest, at the beach or in any other natural setting?

Sometimes but I'm a homebody.

Would you call that a Spiritual Connection?

Not quite.

 

[JustGeorge]

Depends on which forest or beach.

I felt almost nothing upon seeing the Atlantic Ocean for the first time(other than the thrill of watching all land just 'end'), but I feel moved almost to the point of tears each time I see Lake Michigan, and like part of me is being torn away when I have to leave(its quite far from me; 6 hours at least).

I think whether or not its a spiritual connection or not would vary on the individual.

I used to, but I seem to have lost that. It is a complicated feeling, but I remember it.

 

[Salty Booger]

I feel it when I'm on my own without distractions. A walk in the forest or a beach are the best. Camped in the desert for about a week. The lightning and thunder at night will rock your soul.

It feels like Magic.

Does anyone else feel a deep connection when in the forest, at the beach or in any other natural setting? Would you call that a Spiritual Connection?

Most definitely. All-my life. If I used that term, yes. It's where I find peace to be myself. Watching the water, etc. I can sit all day.

In the desert? That's a new environment setting on me. I'm in the mountains.

There is no right or wrong there.

I love walking in the hills near my joint. Definitely revives the spirit!

If I am stuck at home I will take a look at some YouTube clips of planet Earth -

All the best!

Interconnectedness would be more in line with me. I dont feel specific connections with anything out there, but there is a special feeling whenever something becomes harmonious and balanced where you "feel as one".

The closest to where your describing would be whenever I'm under the stars at night where I'm always awestruck at what I see, but can't touch.

Does anyone else feel a deep connection when in the forest, at the beach or in any other natural setting? Would you call that a Spiritual Connection?

Oh yes, absolutely. It very much is spiritual. But that is, very much up to the person and their openness. But nature has a way of breaking through to us, even when we are overly distracted with the concerns of the world. Its beauty just stands waiting for us to see. We just have to pause and let it in. Then it renews us.
