An increasing body of research has shown that being in nature, living near nature, and even watching nature on TV can have positive impacts on everything from cognitive function and social interactions to our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Unfortunately, many people do not have consistent access to nature, causing a sense of disconnection from nature and its healing power that environmental writer Richard Louv referred to as “nature deficit disorder.” We aim to solve the global nature deficit disorder problem by bringing that connection to nature and sense of wonder into the homes and offices of all those who need it.

Listening to calming nature sounds and even outdoor silence can lower blood pressure and levels of the stress hormone cortisol, decrease heart rate, and create increased feelings of positivity. A study published by Scientific Reports (2017) found that listening to recorded nature sounds has a similar effect as being in nature itself, causing the listeners’ brain connectivity to reflect an outward-directed focus of attention, the same process that occurs during wakeful rest periods such as daydreaming. We choose to let the natural sounds speak for themselves on our ambient videos, so you can fully immerse yourself in the experience and reap all the benefits nature has to offer.
