Stephen and Rachel Kaplan, environmental psychologists at the University of Michigan, study how the brain rests in, "soft fascination." This occurs during an observation of a restorative landscape, cloud drift, sunset, or rain.
When nature grabs our "sweet spot" of interest, we feel enticed but not demanded to pay attention.
The soft fascination lulls us.
Anxiety and stress decrease.
Cranial currents alter. As the cerebellum stimulates, frontal lobe activity lowers.
"I go to nature to be soothed and healed and to have my senses put in order.
- John Burroughs
Take time to ramble in nature with a camera. Notice and click.
"All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking." - Nietzsche
