Ecopsychology
Bringing Nature's Wisdom into Our Daily Lives
What Others
Say about Natural
Systems Thinking
Eco-Anxiety
“I was depressed and confused about all the ecological changes I
read about. Also the way our economy isn't working as it has in the
past. I didn't know these things were related, but NSTP helps me
understand what's happening, why and what I need to do.”
Life
Change
“I find daily that I am changing things and getting back to more
basic life choices. I think each little one counts. These changes feel so
good. I find that I want less material things these days.”
Stress
and Insomnia
"Nature’s energy has tuned
my stress laden pulse to the rhythms of Earth. The sleeping disorder I
have battled all my adult life dissolved. For the first time
in decades, I gently fell asleep and arose shortly after
dawn.”
Career
Clarity
It’s
been very exciting for me to finally express what feels like a cohesive
and sustainable vision of what I want to do.
"I've
begun making different choices about how to use my time. In doing this,
some things fall by the wayside. But I feel better. I have more energy.
I'm more interested in my work and I have a deeper connection with my
kids."
Professional
Practice
"With this approach, my work is less stressful. I’m a guide, not
the expert or technician. I guide each person to tap into their own inborn
wisdom and let Nature show and teach them the lessons they need to find
their own solutions.”
Pain, Weight
Loss, Illness
“I committed
myself to using these nature-connecting activities daily. I was attracted
to do so because I was overweight, my previously injured back, knee and
ankle hurt, my cholesterol and PSA blood tests were high and I felt down.
Were these symptoms of excessive disconnection from (Nature)? The answer
came in five months: my pain was reduced. My blood tests were normal and
I’d lost 15 pounds, too.”
Business
Success
"
I had
been sitting in confusion and lack of clarity, but taking this course is
really helping me see new paths I wouldn't have even thought of. That is
FUN!"
Depression
"This morning I was battling the remnants of some depression
… (but when) I was doing the sensory attraction activity, I experienced
a flash of good feeling and realized these feelings are what is so good
about living …. It was enough, if for no other reason, to be here, to
experience the beauty of this planet. This was a major breakthrough for
me, because I battle the reason for being here quite a bit in my recovery
work. This happened before noon, and it is now 6 pm, and I still feel
great! I wanted to share this because I am so happy!"
Chemical
Dependency
"I feel different from when I started this course. I have always
struggled with chemical addictions, and these last few weeks, I find I
hardly have cravings at all anymore. At times I do, but then I can go into
nature, right outside my backdoor, and feel a connection that is real. I
have been through therapy as well as currently working a twelve step
program, and I feel these Nature activities have really helped me, more
than I have words for.”
Mind
Chatter
"My, how my mind does chatter with words that can mislead me.
When I make contact with Nature and think with Nature's intelligence, it
guides me with a wisdom that helps me keep in balance…. As I worked
through the Course, I began to … quiet my mind. … Now my "mind
chatter" is only a murmur when I ask it to be. This has opened up
experiences so far beyond anything I even dreamed of a few years
ago."
