Lu Van Queen touched on what is known as "Treemate" (Shinerin Yuko), an ancient Japanese habit that relies on recharged psychological and physical energy in nature, saying, "Scientists have shown that nature's sounds have comfortable effects that help renew activity.The brain enters a state of serenity when it lives feelings similar to those that our first ancestors have known in the first vital environment..

Researchers from Stanford University indicate that walking in nature reduces the level of depression by up to 71%, and increases self -confidence by 90%..

Let's taste silence

Emily Devian, a psychological specialist and author of the book "Let's Silence Silence" - says that silence is necessary like breathing, and it "keeps us away from daily disorders" in a way that enables us to get to know ourselves better, and act with more vigilance.

Divian asserts that "silence helps in self -meditation and adventure by walking on an internal path until we discover who we are, and what we really want.".

In a study - was published in the 2014 Science magazine - Psychologist Timothy Wilson asked a number of volunteers to sit in an empty room without phones or any other distraction, and provided them with a machine that allows them to stun themselves with light electrical waves.The result was that 67% of men and 25% of women used the machine only to spend time in the absence of other means, which shows the size of addiction to the sounds of television, radio and modern devices in our world today.

Michelle advises Lu Van Queen to leave ourselves enough space to enjoy moments of calm, mental serenity and dive into imagination, because silence is not "just lost times" as many believe, as it allows us to develop creative sense and revitalize memory, which is an effective way to reconnect with self and others.
