The Healing Power of Gardens: Oliver Sacks on the Psychological and Physiological Consolations of Nature – Brain Pickings

Women in rural areas live longer , so I’m in total

alignment , have had several successful gardens

in the last 9 years , several successful gardens

with my marriage ..

It’s very much of this Pisces truth, my hands like

planting seeds , creating and harvesting . It has

been a challenge , but as of 2016 , it’s been container

gardening , which a friend who organic gardens

told me we’re better than his 🤩. Soon I will

be graced with my own home , finally abled

to plant and watch growth without implied

or actual threat to moving again .

Blessings & Peace,

Doña Luna

“In forty years of medical practice, I have found only two types of non-pharmaceutical ‘therapy’ to be vitally important for patients with chronic neurological diseases: music and gardens.”

Neuroscience Reveals How Gratitude Literally Changes Your Brain to be Happier

I swear by this truth , personally !

We often hear about the power of gratitude for creating a more positive and happy mental state. But did you know that gratitude literally transforms your brain? According to UCLA’s Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, regularly expressing gratitude literally changes the molecular structure of the brain, keeps the gray matter functioning, and makes us healthier and happier. When you feel happiness, the central nervous system is affected. You are more peaceful, less reactive, and less resistant. And gratitude is the most effective practice for stimulating feelings of happiness.
