Why nature
Nature as a blueprint
When we experience the dynamics of life and nature we also get the opportunity to re-learn and meet ourselves through the renewed contact with our slumbering senses, our atavistic instincts and natural intuition. The ability to develop an organization depends on the inner state of mind of the individuals.
When we begin to regard ourselves as apart of wholeness, when we dare to let go, things around us start to happen. There is a flow of meaning around us, as if we were part of a greater conversation, sometimes called ”the flow”. The exercises practised at Naturakademin aim to give the whole of man nourishment and energy. We supply the place, the tools and the knowledge for body, senses, intellect, feelings and spirit.
The fundamental idea in Naturakademin is that nature is our best teacher in a world in constant change. The coordinating principal of nature is the relation during change: individuals, systems, the environment, rules and the processes of evolution. Even change changes. Life makes use of this chaos to create functional solutions. Life itself is formed around identity. Every living creature acts to develop and to preserve it self. Identity is a filter every organism uses to make the world understandable. New information, new relations, changing environments all is interpreted through the filter of identity.
”Scientists have been saying for years that deep-seated, far-reaching benefits come from being in the alpha state of mind. That is, when your brain generates fewer beta brain waves and more alpha brain waves, you can perform better in most any area of life.
You can read at superfast speeds. You can write quicker and clearer. You can learn up to 50 times more efficiently. This is also the flow state where athletes break world records, actors move audiences to tears, scientists make stunning discoveries, business people make far-reaching decisions — where human beings perform almost supernaturally”.
