Nature Clinic Brings Joy to the World: Friends of Natural Systems Education Reduces Stress and Strengthens Personal and Environmental Health at a Free, Holistic Nature-Psychology Clinic Online

    /24-7PressRelease/ - December 13, 2005 - The Friends of Natural Systems at Project NatureConnect, today opened a free online clinic for personal and environmental health.

Organic Psychologist, Dr. Michael J. Cohen, coordinator of Friends of Natural Systems says, "The way thousands of natural systems work to increase the health of themselves and the world is exemplified by the water cycle and the way it registers in us as "thirst" and "excretion." As its flow of water nurtures plants, animals, air, soil and us, it recycles and renews destructive impurities. This restorative process sustains the well being of our lives and all life."

Author of Reconnecting With Nature and The Web of Life Imperative, Cohen observes, "Like our sense of thirst, our psyche and senses are parts of natural systems. For this reason, the flow of natural systems through us renews to health many injured areas of our thinking and feeling. Their flow safely nurtures back into our consciousness those of our 53 senses and sensitivities that have deteriorated or been abused. This balances and strengthens our psyche and health. It enables us to make more sense of our life."

To our loss, our excessively nature-disconnected lives remove us from the regenerative benefits of natural systems. Through Organic Psychology, the Friends of Natural Systems clinic helps us regain our sensory connections to the world.

Unlike most traditional disciplines, Organic Psychology works with nature instead of against it. It recognizes that we unnecessarily suffer health and relationship troubles because we deny that our nature-disconnected lifestyles remove us from the grace and renewing ways of natural systems.

"In industrial society," say Cohen, "Our disconnection from nature's ways produces Natural System Dysfunction (NSD) . NSD results from the inability of our nature-disconnected consciousness to register our normal 53 inborn natural system sensitivities and enjoy their benefits.

To help us overcome NDS, the new online clinic educates visitors to use and teach an Organic Psychology antidote to NDS. This helps us improve personal and environmental health by enabling us to consciously connect our psyche and senses to authentic natural systems within and around us. To our benefit, this thoughtful educational process enables natural systems to restore our dysfunctional sensory abilities.

Organic Psychology is a social technology, a tool that helps us transform NSD into constructive thoughts, feelings and relationships. It enables us to increase our resilience, reverse our disorders and more enjoy life.

"We can't satisfy our senses of self, self-esteem or belonging if we don't consciously embrace the natural systems that we are," says Cohen. "The omission by our mind of natural systems and senses stresses us. It increases our vulnerability to disorders. It is negligent thinking that we must recognize and address."
