| Wild By Nature (English) - Sarah Marquis, Suisse |
" I always navigate by instinctively finding my position in the landscape. For reasons I don't really understand, I can find north without a compass or GPS. From there, the sun helps me find east and west, while the south is obvious. A recent study demonstrates that a few nights of camping are enough to reset your internal clock and reduce your level of stress.
As for me, I understood very early that it was imperative that I understand my body and that I take care of it. Staying healthy often translates into respecting our body's rhythm and constantly repositioning in order to find balance. There's a way to say healthy while staying far from doctors. It relies on an action that we all do, and better yet, it's free : we must sleep, sleep as long as our body tells us to. Three-quarters of the population watches television before going to sleep, and thirty percent of us regularly take sleep aids. To stay connected to my environment when I'm not on expedition, I always sleep according to nature's rhythm. I don't close my curtains, so I wake up naturally with the first light of day. Everything functions in the same rhythm, all of nature : animals, tides, the moon, etc.
For reasons that still escape me, we arrogantly assume that we're detached from nature. And yet, everything is plainly before our eyes. No one told us a story about the existence of the moon, the sun, the tides, the night, the day - it's all right in front of us !
The key word is balance. Our bodies and spirits need to find our life's sustaining light. But how? I suggest small changes, one step at a time. We can guide our life's choices, our life's places, and consequently, our activities. We need to stop "pre washing" our brains with images emitted by a cathode ray tube before going to bed.
Instead, let's listen to our bodies breathe, let's take a few conscious steps per day, let's smile, let's spend a few minutes looking at the clouds, greet a passerby, touch the bark of a tree. You see what I'm saying, nothing too complicated or costly. The only luxury that I see is time.
You don't have the time ? .... "
