This week on Reclaim your Brain I share with you a recent Poetic Pause which I recorded for my Becoming Nature community. Accompanied by video of an amazing wood pasture near home this reading is going down very well so I thought I'd share its message with you.
Would you too agree that finding support from nature is a reciprocal process?
There are so many calls on our attention that we can begin to forget our true purpose in life. Our hopes and dreams can slip away as our minds are taken over by bad news, notifications and social media. I've built my Becoming Nature membership community to help counter this and have decided to share occasional creative pieces here exclusively for those on my email list.
Neurophysicist Dr Iain McGilchrist speaks about the need to reclaim our brain as more and more assaults are made on our mental freedom. He claims time with nature, even via films, reading and listening to poetry and becoming curious about the life around us are ways we can use to reset our mind and fire up the right hemisphere of our brain.
Every couple of weeks or so I update the content here so you'll have an opportunity to spend a little time in virtual nature, listening to poetry or simply watching a wilder landscape.
