It needs to be unspoilt. One of our subtle but powerful healing tools is being in a sense of beauty. Being aware of beauty in your immediate surroundings is to contact an equivalent sense of appreciating the finer qualities of yourself. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
We have customised a sumptuous villa for a small group and grown a botanical garden of cactus, trees, flowers and even grass! Just to sit on a balcony and contemplate a 180° ocean view with distant islands, helps relax the mind.
Similarly, to gaze at the stars or track the sun’s descent is to feel part of a greater canvas. We notice how advertisements plug scenery and beauty in nature as being akin to their products. If you look into them, there is no such connection. In our example, it is true that, to admire natural beauty, does have a subtle yet positive effect on our inner space.

We sometimes sit for an hour or so on a secret beach of black or white sand and watch enormous waves of turquoise transparency rear up and crash, exactly as they have done for eons before.
Nothing has changed in the way nature works. Guided walks take you into places of outstanding beauty and power. There is a strange paradox of the silence inside a volcanic crater compared to the deathly decibels it would have emanated at the nascent moment.
Our clear dark skies permit us to peer through the optical key hole and strike up a new relationship with a comet, the Seven Sisters or the Orion Nebula.
Its hard to verbalise the feelings you experience when you become aware of being part of an infinite firmament of boundless beauty.
