Peace of Mind: Woodland Scenes & Sounds (Green Trees, Birds, Wind, Flowing Water)

The natural world is in a perpetual state of peace and violence. It is a perilous and deadly place for all of its inhabitants, be it plant or animal. Yet, in the very same instance, it is a beautiful and forgiving provider of warmth, water, food, and shelter. And one other aspect it provides, especially for those of us who no longer live in or have access to the outdoors as much as our ancestors once did, is peace of mind. It is this calming aspect that I recorded of the various scenic views at my local woodlands of Ridley Creek State Park, the closest I can get to "the great outdoors" of more scenic areas of the world. In this video you will see the sunfilled, lush, green foliage of various plants and trees, hear the songs and calls of a variety of birds throughout, and the ever-calming sound of flowing water courtesy of the creek (which happens to look muddier than usual due to recent rains). The only thing you won't be able to experience is the warmth of the sun and the breeze of the wind. I hope you enjoy. ► Nature Scenes Video Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2C29A9D4ABB35946 ► Nature Journeys/Walkabouts Videos Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvYncOsqMfxwNrDrvofxZm7yAxFDnbUGc Website: https://ephemeralrift.com Patreon ► http://bit.ly/1EZgmNi Listen to selected works outside of YouTube: Spotify ► http://bit.ly/1V23U60 CDBaby ► http://bit.ly/1AUt3Jj iTunes ► http://apple.co/1xIHLNd Podcasts: EphemRadio (on hiatus) ► http://apple.co/2afSkZQ Arkham Sanitarium (on hiatus) ►http://apple.co/2alraeV Social Media: Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/ephemeralrift1 Twitter ► https://twitter.com/EphemeralRift IG ► http://instagram.com/e.rift What is ASMR? ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a non-scientific word that an everyday person came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills. ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles", but the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
