I always talk about the great amount of scientific evidence on the benefits of listening to your favorite songs and also to new songs that spark moods fitting the moment or activity. Today, I'll talk about something different. Purposefully listening to the sounds of nature can greatly enhance your appreciation of a landscape. In fact, there is a "new" word for that called "soundscape," coined by the great Murray Schafer. So, next time you have the chance to be in nature—whether taking a walk, hiking, having lunch at a park, sightseeing, or in any other situation where you are mindfully appreciating your surroundings—allow yourself to disconnect from your earbuds and listen to the amazing symphony that nature provides! Actually, you can do it anywhere! #soundscape #wellbeing #music
