Grounding ourselves in nature

light steam graphic

“More than anything, we need to ground ourselves in nature.

All of the research. All of the data. All of the protocols. While academically important, they ultimately can become distracting noise.

Those wanting everything distilled into a “magic protocol” simply don’t understand how personal our individual exposure needs are. People quoting and especially those selling “protocols” aren’t being fully honest with you.

We each have to do the hard work of learning to listen to our own bodies. And we have to be willing to engage with discomfort without relying on a timer to supposedly ensure we are doing “it” right.

We can learn from the research and even from protocol guidelines devised from the research. But don’t ever just follow a protocol. Listen to your own body.”
