With this post I am participating in the initiative WHY IS CONNECTING WITH NATURE IMPORTANT? trying to highlight the importance of living in close contact with nature.

Most of the time living in contact with nature is more for personal reasons than for real needs. It is a choice about how to live, often renouncing certain "pleasures" of worldly life, the invasive technology that has penetrated our homes and our lives to choose a healthy way of life for body and mind.

The benefits are innumerable, but perhaps the one that I am most proud of in the area where I live (Comarca Andina, Patagonia Argentina) is the reduction of stress, especially in those people coming from the big cities and the possibility of developing creative and artistic activities in a region that lends itself especially for it. It is not in vain that it is the cradle of artisans, especially in wood.

But, apart from these "spiritual benefits" there are others directly related to our health, such as eating organic products from the area, strengthening our immune system.

Con este post participo a la iniciativa ¿POR QUÉ ES IMPORTANTE CONECTAR CON LA NATURALEZA? tratando de destacar la importancia de vivir en estrecho contacto con la naturaleza.

La mayor parte de las veces vivir en contacto con la Naturaleza obedece más a razones de carácter personal que a necesidades verdaderas y propias. Es una elección sobre cómo vivir, muchas veces renunciando a ciertos "placeres" de la vida mundana, a la tecnología invasiva que ha penetrado en nuestros hogares y en nuestras vidas para elegir un método de vida sano para el cuerpo y la mente.

Los beneficios son innumerables, pero tal vez el que más siento comentar en la zona donde vivo (Comarca Andina, Patagonia Argentina) es la reducción del estrés, sobre todo en aquellas personas provenientes de las grandes ciudades y la posibilidad de desarrollar actividades creativas y artísticas en una región que se presta especialmente para ello. No en vano es la cuna de los artesanos, especialmente en madera.

Pero, aparte de estos "beneficios espirituales" hay otros relacionados directamente con nuestra salud, como el comer productos ecológicos y originarios de la zona, reforzando nuestro sistema inmunológico.

I have two favorite pastimes to enjoy my free time in this beautiful area of valleys and mountains, surrounded by Andean lakes of infinite beauty.

The first one is to go for long walks with my faithful friend Tomy, a dog that I picked up from abandonment, and that since then has shown me a love and loyalty that are not usual.

Long walks through Patagonian forests and trails that intertwine with rivers, streams and lakes where I never tire of admiring the beauty of a spectacular landscape.

Sometimes I carry a book, sit on a log on the shore of a lake or river or in a clearing in the forest and I lose track of time, there is only Nature around me, my dog and me. The rest of the universe remains as if isolated and it helps me to listen and look at myself, in a kind of introspective look at the human condition.

I remember the past time, usually because the sun begins to set behind the mountains.

The other favorite pastime is rock climbing, which I have started to do recently, first as a therapy advised by the doctor to relieve tension in the cervical vertebrae and then with a group of friends as a beautiful and supportive sport in which we all share something and take care of each other.

More than trying to compete to see who can climb the highest, I am learning step by step all the sense that this discipline has to climb safely without running the risk of accidents. It has transformed me physically. I no longer feel pain in my back and it has empowered me both physically and spiritually.

The sensation of well-being is not only a marketing message, a massage session or a physical exercise developed far from the big cities; but it is a way of understanding life, of living in close contact with nature, respecting it as the native people did, allowing in this way the true elevation of our spiritual and energetic condition.

The ancient inhabitants of this region assure that the Piltri (Piltriquitron hill) radiates a source of energy that is felt more and more as we get closer to the summit.

Tengo dos pasatiempos preferidos para disfrutar del tiempo libre, en esta hermosa zona de valles y montañas, circundados por lagos andinos de una infinita belleza.

El primero de ellos es salir a hacer largas caminatas con mi fiel amigo Tomy, un perro que recogí del abandono, y que desde ese momento me ha demostrado un cariño y una fidelidad que no son habituales.

Largas caminatas a través de bosques patagónicos y senderos que se entrelazan con ríos, arroyos y lagos donde no me canso de admirar la belleza de un paisaje espectacular.

A veces llevo un libro, me siento en un tronco a la orilla del lago o del río o en un claro en el bosque y pierdo la noción del tiempo, existen solo la Naturaleza a mi alrededor, mi perro y yo. El resto del universo queda como aislado y me ayuda a escucharme y mirarme a mi mismo, en una especie de mirada introspectiva de la condición humana.

Me acuerdo del tiempo pasado, generalmente porque el sol comienza a ocultarse detrás de las montañas.

El otro pasatiempo favorito son las escaladas, que he comenzado a hacer hace poco tiempo, primero como una terapia aconsejada por el médico para aliviar la tensión en las vértebras cervicales y después con un grupo de amigos como un deporte hermoso y solidario en el cual todos compartimos algo y nos cuidamos unos a otros.

Más que tratar de competir para ver quien escala más alto, estoy aprendiendo paso a paso todo el sentido que tiene esta disciplina para escalar con seguridad sin correr riesgo de accidentes. Me ha transformado físicamente. Ya no siento dolores a la espalda y me ha potenciado tanto física como espiritualmente.

La sensación de bienestar no es solo un mensaje de marketing, una sesión de masajes o un ejercicio físico desarrollado lejos de las grandes ciudades; sino que es una forma de entender la vida, de vivir en estrecho contacto con la naturaleza, respetándola como lo hacían los pueblos originarios, permitiendo de esta manera la verdadera elevación de nuestra condición espiritual y energética.

Los antiguos pobladores de esta región aseguran que el Piltri (el cerro Piltriquitron) irradia una fuente de energía que se siente cada vez más a medida que nos acercamos a la cima.

The sounds of nature in that kind of silence is something incredible. The murmur of the stream, the wind in the treetops, is something truly wonderful @kellybellz.

I was actually nodding and agreeing with what you said here in this above statement, Indeed technology and worldly things have there impact in human lives and like you said it's an individual choices to live nearby nature! Sincerely I would love to because it reminds a lot of things and keeps me in check!

I'm happy you are recovering as quickly as possible! Love n Light 🕯️

Living in close contact with nature is something that needs to be experienced to be told.

Greetings and I hope you have a great weekend @escajove.
