Hello,

I see by your presence here in this group that we share some common
interests.  May I ask that you consider the following:

Have you ever sat near a roaring brook and felt refreshed, been
cheered by the sweet song of a thrush or renewed by a sea breeze? 
Does a delicate wildflower bring you joy,  an Orca whale or 
snow-capped peak  charge your senses?  Do pets or house plants give
you pleasure?  

Consider this: we neither learn nor earn our rewarding natural
feelings. Rather, we inherit them.  Nature gives us our natural
ability to sense, feel and enjoy;  it is a survival function of, by
and from the creation process.  Too often, we learn to overlook this
gift.  For example, when we feel stressed and then feel better after
visiting a natural area we often believe we "get away from our
problems."  In reality we do much more than that.  We actually
reconnect our inner nature to its natural biological origins, the
nature of a
place or person.  That reconnection renews our natural senses and
feelings, that's why they no longer feel stressed. 
 
Now, by sustaining and reinforcing this nature-connecting process,
newly researched educational techniques manage stress and help
catalyze responsible relationships locally and globally.  They make
lasting enjoyment possible for you, your family, friends and
associates. Often the activities reverse dysfunction, subdue apathy
and increase environmental literacy.

Would you like to learn more about these activities and how they
affect us?  If so, send an e-mail request for a free 60K article to
"reconnecting-info@igc.apc.org", or write to Applied Ecopsychology,
Box 4112, Roche Harbor, WA 98250 (206)-378-6313.  If you would like a
complete description of our e-mail course starting June 21 and again
on September 21, please post a response here on the net and I will be
happy to provide you with this information.

With best regards,

Linda
