The Three tremendous facts of eco camping are,
When you’re camping, you get a chance to get in touch with nature, encounter wildlife and see the stars away from the bright lights of the big city.
When we sleep outside, under the stars or camping, it’s as though we press the reset button and we are more present to what’s around us, pulling our thoughts away from the stresses of modern life.
Research shows that some time outdoors can improve your blood pressure, improve digestion and give your immune system an extra boost.

The Miracle thoughts of meditation are,
In Eco meditation, we do not try to inhibit or stop any negative thoughts. Instead, we take the help of nature to replace them with positive thoughts, insights, and inspiration.
Meditation helps us live without illusions, know the reality of our existence and detach ourselves from anything that brings unhappiness and suffering in our lives.
Research shows that the Eco meditation decreases activity in the brain regions associated with self-focus and suffering, and increases activity in the areas of compassion.
