Practice Reflection Notes
- the sounds of nature – and in particular, birdsong – have been linked with consistent improvements in mood and alertness.
- According to Julian Treasure, author of Sound Business and chairman of noise consultancy at The Sound Agency, "People find birdsong relaxing and reassuring because over thousands of years they have learnt when the birds sing they are safe, it's when birds stop singing that people need to worry. Birdsong is also nature's alarm clock, with the dawn chorus signaling the start of the day, so it stimulates us cognitively."
