Episode Twenty- Stress Management and Naturescapes with Dr. Brian Luke Seaward
We'd love to hear from you about this episode.
When we think of stress, we often focus on only the negative aspects.
We have all undoubtedly seen reports that show 75%-90% of all medical visits can be linked to stress-related conditions, ailments, and/or concerns. Thousands of books, programs, workshops, and videos focus on helping us deal with the scary parts of stress.
But…stress also helps us to become more resilient, be more creative in problem-solving, and learn adaptability.
Stress is simply a biological response to any life demand. It is something that we ALL know extremely well. Learning to manage stress effectively is where we tend to struggle.
We often say that “nature is the greatest teacher.” The natural world shares many examples of how stress is needed in growth and development. Trees grow bigger, wider, and stronger root systems to manage environmental stressors. Those root systems seek and secure water and nutrients while harboring the tree to the ground, acting as an anchor against stormy weather.
Welcome to Episode Nineteen of The Nature of Wellness Podcast.
In this episode, we sat down with author, teacher, and stress management pioneer Dr. Brian Luke Seaward. Luke has shared his insights with thousands of university students, workshop participants, senior government officials, the US military, and countless multinational corporations.
Luke has authored 16 books, including the popular best sellers Managing Stress, Stressed is Desserts Spelled Backward, Quiet Mind, Fearless Heart. And Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water: Reflections on Stress and Human Spirituality (now released as a 10th-anniversary edition). He has also combined his love for nature, travel, photography, and videography to produce multiple projects, including Earth Songs (which appeared on PBS) and his latest release, Naturescapes.
Join us as we talk to Dr. Seaward about his unique journey into stress management, mind-body-spirit healing, and corporate stress management. We take a deeper dive into the increasing challenges humans face, along with practical tips for effectively managing some of the overwhelming negative effects of our current situation.
Luke shares his personal healing path with the natural world and discusses how we can find solace by just stepping outside. He also walks us through his passion for capturing stunning photos, videos and soundscapes from around the world.
This conversation left us enlightened and entertained.
