>                   of human life is a continuum of nature. As part of nature, we

>                 Cohen, Ed.D., pioneer of what he calls integrated ecology or
>                 applied ecopsychology. An organic synthesis of ecology and psychology,
>                 integrated ecology proposes that both the destruction of the
>                 Earth's environment and people's isolation, stress and dysfunction
>                 stem from a fundamental denial of our connection to nature. And
>                 by genuinely reconnecting our thinking with nature, we reverse
>                 our psychological disorders and their destructive health and
>                 attitude effects.
>                 Western civilization emphasizes
>                 mostly the faculties of sight, reason, and language, forcing
>                 most of us to suppress our natural senses --all 53 of them, by
>                 Cohen's reckoning. Among them: hunger, thirst, compassion; color,
>                 sex, place; trust, belonging, intuition; community, nurturing
>                 and motion. Each is a fundamental natural attraction energy,
>                 a biological form of love that sentiently connects us to the
>                 world and holds natural systems together in balance. We inherently
>                 register and think with these senses to make sense. However,
>                 spending over 95% of our lives cloistered and indoors leaves
>                 these natural sensory connections excessively unexercised, unfulfilled
>                 and wanting; human dysfunction and evils -- stress, cigarette
>                 smoking, greed, dependencies, violence -- naturally follow to
>                 fill our sensory-satisfaction void and diminish our sensibility
>                 hurt and frustrations. Our troubles, however, persist because
>                 when we want, there is never enough.
>                 Cohen is not a lone hunter
>                 of the bond between man and nature. According to Pulitzer-Prize
>                 winning sociobiologist Edward O. Wilson, Ph.D., of Harvard, people
>                 have an inherent biological need to be in contact with the out-of-doors.
>                 He calls it "biophilia", and believes that nature may
>                 hold the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive, and even
>                 spiritual satisfaction. Our childhood love of animals and natural
>                 myths and fairy tales may be early evidence of our basic affinity
>                 for nature and its instructive and healing properties. Many excellent
>                 studies show genuinely nature-connected people enjoy greater
>                 health and more peaceful relationships than those psychologically
>                 oblivious to nature.
