Intuitively, people living in virtually every era, place, and culture have associated nature with healing qualities. Now there is evidence — from different disciplines including health, medicine, psychology, ecopsychology and horticulture — that suggests that nature has some inherently positive effects on physical and psychological well-being.

According to Tony Hiss in The Experience of Place a special place in the natural environment enhances effects of nature upon individuals.

Human Connection to Nature

Human life revolves around the cycle of the sun rising and setting. People are dependent on the earth for substance, food to eat, water to drink, and air to breathe. Christopher Uhl in Developing Ecological Consciousness: Path to a Sustainable World explains that nature connects humans to "earth's breathing," thereby cultivating intimacy with all of life. Uhl believes that all matter is energy and all energy systems interact with each other. Human beings breathe in and out in constant interaction with all other living things sharing the earth's breath.
