"About Nature"

Biophilia is the exciting new psychological theory championed by Pulitzer Prize-winning conservation biologist Edward O. Wilson, who believes our biophilial urges- the “love of living things”- plants, wildlife and the great outdoors is genetic, encoded in human beings to ensure balance, harmony, and preservation. “Attraction to natural environments is not simply a cultural phenomenon,” Dr. Wilson explains, “There is evidence it is a deeper, biological urge.”

If we are to thrive today, becoming one with nature is just as essential as it was millions of years ago. In fact, many therapists who specialize in “ecopsychology” believe that deepening our emotional ties to nature is as vital to our well-being as the close personal bonds we pursue with family and friends. When we honor this holy hunger by getting in tune with nature, we experience personal harmony.

This is from the book "Simple Abundance".
Always add a little Nature to your Décor,
