Ecopsychology is a field of study rooted in a core insight of both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, that our connection to nature is essential to our wellbeing. Our physical and mental health suffers when we do not regularly experience our natural environment – the living beings and the seasons and cycles of nature. At the same time, experiences of engagement with nature can increase positive emotions and reduce anxiety and depression. Representing a sub-field of psychology, the scientific journal Ecopsychology seeks to “reshape modern psychology by showing that it cannot stand apart from an intimate human connection with the natural environment. We need that connection with nature to do well mentally and physically, let alone to flourish, as individuals and as a species.” This is consistent with the notion of Interbeing, which is central to Buddhism and other spiritual philosophies. The idea of “no-self” does not mean that we don’t exist, it means that we do not exist independently, we are intricately connected with all of nature, all of the cosmos. We have the illusion of being separate, of being disconnected from other people and from nature, and this is the source of much of our anxiety and distress. As a tool for wellbeing, walking meditation is the practice of turning our attention to our senses, to the smells, sights, and sounds of the outdoors, and to the sensation of our feet stepping onto the great solid support of the earth.
