Nature can be scary! Like when a coyote appears out of nowhere. And, nature can also be healing. When we allow ourselves to see the bigger picture, expanding our awareness of a situation, using panoramic vision (moving our eyes right and left), our nervous system can literally reset.

As I approached this huge sequoia in my local park, I remembered Julia Butterfly who climbed the magnificent tree Luna, in the late 1990s to save her from destruction. Nature reset can be as simple as getting to know the trees in your local park. Maybe ask their name? (Nature Reset)

Trees! Our wise teachers if we open ourselves to listen. This one is in my backyard. Who is your favorite tree?

Since I started building my indoor plant garden 2 years ago, I have had a few “fails”. For awhile, I let the ones on the edge silently fade away amongst my other successes. Recently, I decided to create a plant hospital so that I can focus on rehabbing those folks struggling.

Finding little moments in the day to take a pause and connect with the natural world can be so refreshing and reset your nervous system. Two years ago, I created this indoor garden to help bring nature inside and support calm and clean air. It works!
