Some people wonder why connecting with nature is important. The problem is that people are disconnected from danger, and this happens because of electronics and other problems. There are symptoms of nature disconnect all over the place.
No one takes care of the earth like they should and they are often abusive from too much pollution from fracking and not using the resources like they should be used. When being disconnected from nature, it causes people to lose sight on how important nature is.
Different cultures still have a high regard for nature, and they allow the nature spirits to guide them. People forget that when they don’t take care of the world that they pay for it at a later time.
Nature Deficit Disorder is a term that is coined by Richard Louv. He calls this “alienation from nature,” which means that we don’t use nature as we should and it causes there to be physical and emotional problems, even lessening our senses.
When someone is depressed or overwhelmed or they don’t feel like anyone is on their side, or when you feel that something is missing, something probably is. We need to be covered by respect, kindness, gentleness and conversation.
Reconnecting with Nature
As we reconnect with nature spirits, we can live in a place of peace and harmony. We become nice to the world, take care of plants, and do what is necessary to make things better.
As we become awakened, we can call on the nature spirits to heal us, guide us and to love us. We can realize that the world is taking care of us and that spirits are smart, fun, playful and love you to be here.
There are many kinds of nature spirits and each time that you decide to live in harmony with them it can better your life. There are spirits and energy in all things such as flowers, plants, land spirits, water spirits and more and all of the elemental beings of fire, air, earth, and water.

- Be grounded.
- Be open-minded.
- Be respectful and humble.

Be Grounded
As you get deeper with nature you will become in tune with it. You will be more aware of the world around you and you will be able to breathe easier. You will notice the seasons, the birds, insects, and animals. Let life be around you.
Be Open-Minded
Being open minded means that you can meet the different spirits. You will see beyond what senses you have and you can tap into the energies that they have each day. Nature spirits can come to you, and this will be worth it.
Be Respectful and Humble
Nature is a place where the spirits are and so always be humble and respectful of them. Talk to them and let them show you things.
Be Light and Playful
Have fun and enjoy nature. Don’t just go out and always be serious but connect with love and playfulness. Be honest with nature spirits and connect with them. Don’t take everything so seriously. Lighten up and play and have fun.
Listen to Your Heart
Your heart will guide you and will show you what you should do. You will know what park paths to take and you will be drawn to flowers, birds, insects and more. Let your heart guide you and let your vibrations raise.
Let Go of Expectations
Everyone has expectations that hold them back. Let go of these things and let things come as they please. As you walk, pay attention to things around you and listen to the messages. Don’t expect there to be anything specific, just enjoy life and let go of all of your worries.
While the concept of nature spirits might be a bit mystical for some, the underlying message about the benefits of spending time in nature is universally relevant.

It’s fascinating how different cultures maintain a deep connection with nature. The idea that nature holds a multitude of energies and spirits is something worth exploring.
The concept of reconnecting with nature is indeed intriguing. It seems that modern society’s reliance on technology has created a significant gap between humans and the natural world. Richard Louv’s term ‘Nature Deficit Disorder’ accurately encapsulates this phenomenon.
