Why We Need Quiet Places!
When was the last time you experienced silence?
No planes or passing cars, just the sounds of nature around you—the trickle of the stream, the songs of the birds, the wind passing through the trees. These moments of natural silence are immensely rare, but they are important to our health!
Too much noise can send our bodies into overdrive; continuously pumping out stress hormones. So what do we do if the quite of nature starts to disappear? Meet the man who is saving silence with this beautiful film from Spruce Tone Films.
Why It Matters
Listening to nature helps calm us, reducing our stress, muscle tension, and even our heart rate. So work like Gordon’s and Quiet Parks International–an organization working to protect Quiet for future generations–is vital to protecting nature and our health!
Though many of us aren’t able to run out to enjoy a naturally quiet place, there are options! Why not sit and listen to the soundscape happening around you? Just sitting quietly and noticing the sounds that surround us can be a great way to relax and seek out quiet more often!
