What nature gives to man. Communication with nature is necessary to understand who you are and where you are going. Project: Why does a person need to communicate with nature?

Any communication with nature gives a person joy. Why do we value these moments? It's simple: we are a product of nature and are drawn to our mother, whose beauty can melt the hardest hearts.

A creative person admires the incredible radiance of drops of morning dew, the grandeur of mountain ranges and the courage of a fragile blade of grass making its way to life through the asphalt.

The sky is striking in blue, starry or gloomy, the sea can be gentle and stormy, the forest can be green and colorful. We watch the eagle soar and the bee fly, we listen

nightingale trills and the chirping of crickets, we are touched by the grace of swans and the clumsiness of penguins. Everything created by nature is so fascinating that a person is unable to tear himself away from its beauty.

The world around us is filled with a variety of colors, magical sounds, perfect forms and movements. You just need to look around, take a closer look, listen - and you will become the master of countless treasures, in comparison with which other values of the world pale. It is no coincidence that the geniuses of the pen embodied in their works the imperishable beauty of nature and conveyed to us the joy of communicating with it.

In the novel “Vir” (whirlpool) by Grigory Tyutyunnik, nature

depicted as a vital symbol, she is an integral part of his heroes. Young Timko evokes a lot of pleasant associations, as does the little swan Mikhailik, over which “geese-swans fly”... Ukrainian classic Mikhail Kotsyubinsky in “Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors” described the incredible beauty of the Carpathians, his Ivan and Marichka are covered in the charms of Hutsul nature. Together with them you immerse yourself in the local color. And the boy “Enchanted by the Gums” - the hero of the film story Alexander Dovzhenko, helps to comprehend the beauty of nature and the people in it.

Communication with the natural world opens up for us limitless possibilities, since man himself is his creation. The desire for harmony with nature gives strength and energy, allows you to improve your health, clear your thoughts and recharge yourself with positivity. And most importantly, communication with nature makes you feel absolutely happy!

Option 1. Unique and indescribably beautiful nature in autumn. Despite the fact that rain and fog are quite common, there are also clear, quiet days for a walk in the nearest forest. Sit down and admire golden robe of the forest, listen to the singing of birds, watch the birds fly away. Somewhere in the distance thunder roared. Drop by drop it began to rain. Hiding under a tree, he looked around. How beautiful it is all around I like it autumn nature . The air is so fresh! I don't want to go home at all.

Option 2. Man and nature are closely related to each other. Nature creates all the conditions for human life, which is why it is so important to live in harmony with it. Beautiful landscapes of nature fill a person’s soul with delight, only this beauty is truly mesmerizing. Man's interest in nature is limitless; how many secrets and mysteries the forests and seas contain. There's a lot we don't know yet about nature. To enjoy the beauty of nature, you don’t need to travel far, just go to a park or forest. Nature is especially beautiful in the fall, when you want to sit on benches and absorb all its beauty and enjoy it. It is then that you feel how your soul is filled with new colors, how it is saturated with the beauty of the world around you. At these moments you realize how closely people are connected with nature.

Communicating with nature is useful - probably most of us will agree with this statement. At the same time, each of us puts our own content into the concept of “communication with nature”. For some, a country picnic with plenty of food and loud music from the radio is also a vacation fresh rest. But sometimes after such a vacation you have to rest thoroughly...

An opportunity to recharge with positive energy and restore peace of mind gives a completely different pastime. Have you heard about green tourism? This is when all around is nature, greenery, birds singing, and no TVs or computers, and in the morning - early rise, exercise and going out on the route with a backpack. We decided to talk to a person who knows well from his own experience how communication with nature changes the way we look at life. the world around us. Our interlocutor - Eduard Arkushin, psychologist and organizer of tourist trips to picturesque corners of Ukraine.

When you lead a group on a hike, what is your goal? Give people the opportunity to admire natural beauty and test their strength; maybe you want to introduce people to tourism?

I wouldn’t say “involve”, rather, introduce. There is an opinion that you can feel something special while hiking. And in order to feel this, I try to make people not only enjoy clean water, clean air, beautiful landscapes, sounds of nature, but also from communication. This is an emotional component. There is also an intellectual one. If people are interested in why we eat vegetarian food while camping, why we go to bed at ten in the evening and get up early in the morning, I talk about it.

Does regular communication with nature leave an imprint on your lifestyle?

Communicating with nature provides a pattern of cleanliness that is very difficult to achieve in the city. It’s hard for us to imagine how much the urban pace of life affects us, our mood, attitude towards the world and ourselves. The city is a certain background, vibrations that create disharmony, preventing many people from understanding who they are and what they want. Nature has the ability to calm, harmonize, balance and delight.

Is it possible to say that people who regularly communicate with nature cannot knowingly cause harm to it? From this point of view, does green tourism affect the value system?

It’s difficult to say, because it’s difficult to measure how it was before and what happened after. Of course, there is a culture of being in nature, and it can be formulated as follows: “After us it should not be the same as it was, but better.” We tell people not to throw away candy wrappers and other trash at crossings. The parking lots remain clean after us. How ingrained these values are in people... I think many are aware of them before the hike, and many are aware of them during the hike. One hike that lasts, for example, 4 days is too short a period of time. So it would be very bold to say that during this time a person’s values can change dramatically.

What would you say to someone who has never been a green hiker but has an interest in hiking? Why does it make sense to try?

In any case, it makes sense to get acquainted. To try to part with too strong attachments or fears. This is a rewarding experience to overcome. Although overcoming should also be reasonable. On a hike, everyday difficulties and stress are usually compensated for by pleasure.

From time to time you need to communicate with nature. IN everyday life It is difficult for us to restore psychological harmony. Without it inside, we replicate disharmony in communication with other people .

Is it true that the mountains have a special atmosphere? It’s not in vain that the mountains are covered in romance...

Mountains in a certain way influence people. It is believed that a lot of energy is concentrated in the mountains. Here and physical activity are well tolerated, and people feel good, cheerful and optimistic mood. Here people become softer and more attentive to others.

Which place that you saw made the strongest impression on you?

Amazing places so many. I don't want to offend any of them. They have a special power, people are drawn to them, try to visit them, remember these places when they want to return to a certain emotional state. In Crimea, these are the Grand Canyon, Demerdzhi, Yalta Yayla... there are a lot of such places.

If you can’t go hiking, you can have a picnic... and this is also communication with nature. Or not?

Create conditions for inner harmony You can also go to the river, going there for the weekend. True, there is a risk here that if a person has a lot of unrealized energy, it will be directed in the wrong direction. From this point of view, a hike is useful because it fills the day with healthy content. In the morning, gymnastics, gathering the camp, setting up the camp, collecting firewood, moving, cultural program, communication. On a hike, there is usually very little distance between participants, and people discuss topics that really interest them.

However, location is not that important for connecting with nature. With creativity and smart organization, you can create a special atmosphere by gathering in the park.

What most of conscious humanity suffers from is an acute lack of NATURE. We spend 24 hours a day under apartment and office arrest, work in artificial light, eat indoors, move from home to office in transport and generally do not set foot in nature. And if we step, then this nature has the appearance of a predictably geometric park with cement paths and benches along the edges of the lawns, where it is written: “Do not walk on the lawns!”

Most of us still remember the old ones good times when we were children playing robber detective in the yard and coming home only to sleep and eat. These times are already in the distant past and our children are also unlikely to carelessly run for a walk in the yard, because it is dangerous and because the yard is dirty or because the game fight is more interesting. And we, office workers, we habitually inhale the air circulated between our nose and the air conditioner and a little exhaust fumes on the way home and consider that it is fortunate that we have this job (after all, our standard of living has risen so much!).

Preventing diseases without returning to nature is simply not possible. For all of us and especially for children. Children feel the inferiority of city life more subtly and express this in the form of allergies, frequent colds, and poor performance. Nature prevents diseases and nature cures, but which traditional doctor attributes healing to nature?!

Magic healing remedies are:

Sunlight

Without sunlight you and I wouldn't exist. We are children of the sun in the literal sense of the word. Therefore, we need healing rays for at least 10 minutes a day. For the production of vitamin D3 (one of the most amazing substances Bye open by man), which is a natural preventative against cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, increases bone density and improves immune function. It also prevents infectious diseases much better than any vaccine. To get vitamin D in it natural form, you just need to spend more time in nature.

Sounds of Nature

The singing of birds, the rustling of leaves, the crunching of branches, the murmuring of a stream, the chirping of grasshoppers, the rustling of grass underfoot - gives a therapeutic effect, reduces the level of stress hormones and blood pressure.

Some of the most healing sounds are the sounds of water: waterfalls, streams, rain, thunderstorms, the sea. You can record all this and listen to it while working at the computer, but is the audio sea comparable to the real thing?

Colors of Nature

Scientifically speaking, colors - electromagnetic radiation, differing in wavelength, which hits the retina and is interpreted by the brain as colors. This electromagnetic radiation carries healing energy, the energy of color. It’s very good if every day you can come into contact with colors of the entire spectrum, look at flowers, plants, animals, the sky. It heals you and stimulates your brain.

If you observe colors and shades in nature, your brain begins to function at a higher cognitive level. People who spend the whole day in a room where nothing changes do not have the opportunity to stimulate their intellect.

Movement

Spending time in nature, we are forced to move: walk, run, ride a bike, swim, climb a mountain. A beautiful landscape makes any physical exercise pleasant. If you do morning jog in the forest, it seems like just a quick walk.

Movement gives us a second youth, improves blood circulation, increases bone density, makes us more flexible, mobile, increases lymph circulation, improves mood.

Air

Qualitative difference between indoor air and fresh air forests or meadows are huge. The indoor air is polluted by gases emanating from synthetic materials: carpets, furniture, paints, varnishes, adhesives, etc., and is also filled with mold spores that live in bathrooms, kitchens, on window sills and under wallpaper.

Forest air has a completely different composition! IN forest air more life, vigor, health.

Microbes

Traditional medicine drilled into us that sterile cleanliness is the key to health. We believed that we could only be healthy when all the germs in our environment were killed by detergents, antibacterial soaps, pharmaceuticals.

Some microbes are an integral part of our lives and our well-being! By being exposed to microbes, we train our immunity and bring the entire body into balance. The best way Letting our body feel the microcosm is a way out into nature.

Traditional medicine has led us down the wrong path of sterility. But nature is filled with “dirty” bacteria, viruses, infections and other representatives of the microcosm.

Bioenergy

This energy is less noticeable. Think about why big city devastates us, takes energy, and in return gives vanity, angular geometry does not give rest? And why does the forest leave us filled with strength, joy, life?

Bioenergy is felt when in contact with nature. Walking barefoot, hugging a tree, touching a flower, contemplating a sunrise or sunset, lying on the grass or in the snow - this makes you part of the planet. It is said that we get rid of static electricity by walking barefoot on the ground, which creates white noise in our body and interferes with healing. But our ancestors did not wear sneakers, they walked barefoot. And they did not suffer from degenerative diseases.

Children especially suffer without contact with nature

The life of our children passes in a closed room, among computer games And social networks on the Internet. Very few children can boast that they spend most of their time outdoors. Working parents can at best offer their children summer camp or go to the seaside for a week.

Few people can afford to go camping with their child for several days, sleep in a tent, swim in a cold river, or make a fire. Few people want to introduce a growing person to nature and plunge into a completely different, living and extraordinary world and teach some useful things.

The best thing we can do for our children now is to get rid of the TV. TV is our enemy. The enemy who replaces the real reality with a fake one. The more time we spend watching our favorite TV shows, the less time we have to spend time in nature.

Go to nature, communicate with real people directly, look at the sky, listen to the birds singing, breathe fresh air! Nature gives health!

Spending a lot of time with people who have daily contact with nature, you can notice most interesting thing– such people are unusually happy with life and at peace. They have no doubt that their lives have purpose, direction and meaning. Let's try to figure out why this is so. And let's start with the philosophy of futility, a phrase coined in 1928 by Columbia University marketing professor Paul Nystrom to describe the trends created by modernity.

Here are the words of Paul Nystrom himself:

At present, many representatives of Western nations have departed from the standards of religion and philosophy of the past, but due to the fact that they have not been able to develop an effective worldview to replace them, they have begun to adhere to views that, for lack of a better term, can be called a philosophy of futility. This outlook on life (or lack of an outlook on life) involves evaluating the motives and goals of a person's main activities. There has always been a tendency to seek the purpose of life itself. This disadvantage life goal has an impact on the sphere of consumption, which is similar to a narrow life interest, that is, the concentration of a person’s attention on superficial things, which mainly include high-society consumption.

Little has changed since these words were written. Only that neurologists have recently proven that Nystrom is only partially right.

“Purpose” is a difficult word to research. It certainly has a large abstract component, and most researchers agree that the concept of “happiness” is one of the main ones. When the Dalai Lama says, “The purpose of life is to be happy,” he literally means it. Living with purpose in life means being happy - the first gives rise to the second and in no case vice versa. So while we can't do much about the complex science of purpose, we do know a little more about happiness and can, at least in a loose sense, figure out its sources.

There are a number of neuro chemicals, responsible for happiness, and first of all this is dopamine. It is connected to the body's need/reward system, which means that when you fulfill a basic need for survival, the brain also gives you a hit of dopamine to stimulate that behavior.

And this is an excellent reinforcement of the reflex.

Cocaine, widely known as the most addictive drug, is nothing more than a substance that causes the brain to flood itself with dopamine and then block its reuptake (much like Prozac blocks the reuptake of serotonin). The main point of all this is to point out that dopamine is apparently the most powerful of the neurochemicals responsible for the state of happiness, while emphasizing that drug use is fatal to health.

Previously, scientists believed that dopamine is produced simultaneously with reward, which means that along with a long-desired thing, you also receive a portion of dopamine. But a few years ago, Reed Montague, a neuroscientist at Baylor College, used powerful brain imaging technology to discover that we don't get dopamine from pursuing an object of desire; dopamine is released when we risk obtaining an object of desire.

Thus, dopamine is the reward for taking risks. This means that Nystrom's idea is only partially correct. Evolutionary physiologists have long emphasized that in hunting and gathering times, searching for food was a very risky endeavor. Searching for food sources meant exploring new territories, and exploring new lands meant unknown dangers. Predators could attack. You could turn over a stone in the hope of a tasty meal and get stung by a scorpion. I needed motivation. It was dopamine.

And this is where Nystrom was definitely wrong.

Read any of the world's sacred scriptures, from the Bible to the Bhagavad Gita, and you will immediately understand that ancient people viewed the world and their lives in an amazingly cyclical way.

In fact, this repetition was often celebrated among the indigenous people and modified form still celebrated today – Christmas has always been a holiday winter solstice, and Easter is a spring rite (which, by the way, explains why we love eggs and chocolate bunnies at Easter: spring rites are fertility rituals, and bunnies love...).

The point is that modernity is not too monotonous, it is too safe. The outside world is a living environment, often frantic, always unpredictable. By rejecting close contact with nature, modernity deprives us of risk, and, as neuroscientists say, we also lose some of our happiness.

The logic is a little twisted, but the fact is that searching for food was a daily dangerous activity; By going to the grocery store, you're losing the chance of being eaten by some predator for lunch, and thus depriving yourself of one of the essential chemicals you need to be happy.

But let's get back to the goal. Most people think the problem is what to choose. “I don't know what my purpose is” - echoing the philosophy of futility - is the most familiar saying. But there is a hidden meaning here causation, and this may be the problem.

Our modern idea- this is that we ourselves are looking for our motive (goal), and then we fight for it - this is the order of things. This implies that the deliberation stage (coming up with a goal) precedes the risk-taking stage (struggle), but this is a modern adaptation.

In more primitive societies, teenagers participated in what were called "bone games." These were sacred rites of acceptance into adulthood that still exist in rudimentary form today, although they now involve no risk and are called "confirmation" or "bar mitzvah."

In a regular dice game, applicants for entry into adulthood were tested for visual acuity, that is, they went into wild forest with the intention of confronting danger and they returned with a purpose. This has always happened, and dopamine may also be involved.

Dopamine is not only responsible for happiness and reaction time, it also slows down the pattern recognition system, which is the part of the brain that tells you what your goal is.

It seems that “goal” may be a vague metaphysical word, but still with a high degree of confidence we can say that behind this metaphysics there is neurochemistry in the form of dopamine. And contact with nature is the most in a simple way get into this neurochemistry, which makes it the most reliable path to life's purpose and happiness.
