Immersing oneself in nature can bring a sense of stillness from "summary" of The Art of Stillness by Pico Iyer

Nature has a way of slowing us down and inviting us to be present in the moment. When we immerse ourselves in the natural world, whether it be a quiet forest or a vast ocean, we are reminded of the beauty and simplicity of life. The rustling of leaves in the wind, the gentle lapping of waves against the shore - these natural sounds have a way of calming our minds and bringing us back to center. In nature, there is a sense of timelessness that can be incredibly grounding. The mountains have stood for centuries, the rivers have flowed for eons - and in the grand scheme of things, our worries and stresses seem small and insignificant. Nature has a way of putting things into perspective, reminding us that there is a much bigger picture beyond our daily concerns. When we immerse ourselves in nature, we are surrounded by beauty in its purest form. The vibrant colors of a sunset, the intricate patterns of a leaf - these simple yet profound sights can fill us with awe and wonder. In the presence of such natural beauty, our minds quiet down, and we are able to experience a sense of stillness that is hard to find in our fast-paced lives. Nature also has a way of connecting us to something greater than ourselves. When we walk through a forest or gaze up at the stars, we are reminded of the vastness and complexity of the universe. In these moments of connection, we can let go of our egos and surrender to the beauty and mystery of the world around us. In the end, immersing oneself in nature can bring a sense of stillness that is both profound and transformative. It is a reminder that in the midst of our busy lives, there is always a place of peace and quiet waiting for us in the natural world. By taking the time to slow down and connect with nature, we can find a sense of calm and clarity that can carry us through even the most hectic of days.
