To relax listening to the sounds of nature can be a
wonderful and therapeutic experience. You don't need to
mediate to appreciate the connection with the Earth, though
many do. Just to listen to the wonderful sounds of mother
nature is really all that needs to be done.
Being outside in a forest, mountainside or near a river is
preferable where one can savour the sights, sounds and
smells of the countryside but that's not so easy in today's
hectic world.
Even if you did manage to 'get away' there are no
guarantees that you can avoid unwanted sounds such as
aircraft, trains, cars, barking dogs and noisy children.
The weather may also decide to dampen your spirits.
However for a quick pick me up, or a complete chill out
listening to pure nature sounds on a music center, computer
or mp3 player can be almost as good as being there.
The choice of nature sounds available to purchase these
days on CD is vast. From popular favourites such as a
mountain stream, ocean waves or tropical rainforest, there
are many more specific ones available such as underwater
whale sounds or recordings made at a particular location on
the planet.
Although music can be relaxing I find that the best nature
Cd's are those that are pure nature sounds and do not have
accompanying music or chants. Avoid also those that flip
from one sound to another for variety. If you are going to
relax by a mountain stream for example you will want to do
it for an hour or more and not be interrupted by music or a
change in location!
The sounds of a secluded waterfall for example can be
particularly enchanting as the water cascades downwards
into the lake below. Shut your eyes and you can almost feel
the spray on your face as you are mesmerised and relaxed by
the falling water as it dashes off the rocks below.
Listening to pure nature sounds can be done at any time of
day. Some choose to meditate with them at the start of the
day, others listen to them as they fall asleep at night.
A ten minute recharge may suit some people, whilst others
may listen to them as they work on their PC. They can be
used to mask unwanted street sounds and even help you
concentrate whilst studying.
People spend so much of their time, working and rushing
from one thing to another that they often forget what a
wonderful planet we are living on and that they can be
transported instantly to relaxing places at the touch of a
button.
