ーPlease tell me what effect picking up stones has on your mind.
Collecting stones can have various effects on your mind and body through contact with nature. Here are some of the impacts that rock picking may have.
1.Relaxation and stress relief
- Picking up stones is a simple, repeatable movement that can have a relaxing effect. Picking up a stone and looking at it carefully can reduce your daily stress and fatigue.
2.Promote mindfulness
- Picking up rocks is part of a mindfulness practice. By paying attention to the shape, texture, and weight of the stone as you pick it up, you can focus on the moment and focus your mind.
3.Appreciation and sense of solidarity with nature
- Stones are a part of nature, so picking up stones can foster a sense of gratitude towards nature. Also, by feeling the history of the earth and the passage of time, you can become more aware of the connection between humans and nature.
4.Creative inspiration
- Stones come in a wide variety of patterns and colors, and these can provide creative inspiration. You can find particularly beautiful stones and combine them to create art and designs.
5.Exercise and outdoor activities
- Rock picking is an outdoor activity, and walking in nature provides exercise. Exercise promotes blood circulation and increases energy.
6.The joy of collecting
- By collecting stones as a collection, each stone has memories and stories attached to it. This brings emotional richness and creates a collection that is uniquely yours.
7.Sensory stimulation and physical pleasure
- The feel, temperature, and shape of the stones stimulate all five senses. This brings sensory pleasure and physical pleasure.
8.Calm and stability of mind
- Picking up rocks is a quiet activity, which can promote calmness and provide a sense of stability.
Although the effects of rock picking may vary from person to person, it includes a nature-related and meditative element that can have positive effects on physical and mental health.
ーthank you. I’m going to go pick up stones.
you’re welcome! Enjoy the adventure of collecting stones. We hope that contact with nature and meditative time will refresh your mind and body. We hope you have a safe and wonderful experience!
