How does tuning into nature help with one's spiritual development?

If you're pagan, it can help a whole lot.

After all, we are all part of nature and when we recognize that, we can find solace and serenity in our own life. Everything is connected.

When i go for walks, in my most depressive state, I feel like there is this aura in the air that helps me think...i could have done the same thinking at home, but I cant...its the aura that comes around me, the serene view, the trees, the birds, the wind, atmosphere, everything comes togethers, helps me think and find solutions to every problem I have ever had....Builds my spiritual side cuz I feel at peace when im walking and I see the beauty of the world that I cant see in any materialistic thing I own, or any religious place I visit....

As Above, So Below.

We are part of nature, even though we've chosen (through society) to try to estrange ourselves from Mother Earth, we are still animals, 100% part of the Universe, in no way above, or beyond it.

To connect with earth is so psychologically healthy tribes of "savages" have very few mental illnesses compared to those "civilized" masses living in the city. All spirituality is psychology.

we are natural with the nature.

nature is nothing but the composition of elements like earth, water, air and universe. we are also built up of those elements with additional charm of living beings with thinking power. only living beings can think and act.

hence in the way of thinking above can lead to spiritual development for peaceful and co existence.

love nature and live with nature!

I am in to nature big time. My favorite thing is to escape in to the wilderness. I do this to take a mental break from the stress of every day life and to praise God for all the beauty He has created here on earth. It helps me alot in that sense.

I dont know much about this,but now that I have heard it, is it actually true? I think it may be because God made nature, and when we take a moment to realize that, we know in our hearts that nature would not be possible without God, and NOTHING would be possible without nature. Right?

Seeing the cycles of life in action (birth-life-death-rebirth) helps us understand our own mortaility a little better. Seeing life coming back in the spring reminds us that there is always hope.

Because God made everything in nature and sometimes the sheer beauty makes us realize how awsome God really is

It is sad in a way, but I feel closer to God out in nature than I do sitting in church.

Dude! This is like common sense! Of course it is. Look it up and get information because I don't feel like explaining something so obvious.
