“In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods, is perpetual youth.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature and Selected Essays
You get to walk in nice, warm sand on your stroll along Banks Beach near Banks, Idaho. It’s in the Boise National Forest on the Payette River, a popular location for rafting in the summer. It’s a very small beach and a popular spot in the summer!
According to scientific studies, spending time in a natural environment is very healing. The problem is that sometimes you can’t do that. We now know that having a view of a beautiful, natural setting lush with green and growing things is nearly as good as being in Nature itself. Just imagine this is Your living room……Ahhhhhhh.
I took these photos with that intention, sought out the most beautiful landscapes with elements close by as well as at a distance so they would be most pleasing to the senses. All the photos on this site were taken by me specifically for the purpose of becoming Natural Healing Views.

I purchased Sandy’s Riverbank Afternoon Walk a few years back. I laminated it and brought it to work to use on the job. I am a peer support specialist and work with those in mental health crisis. My work involves providing alternative ways to de escalate mental.health symptoms without going to the mental health hospital. One of my strategies incorporates meditation. I put the beautiful laminated photograph on the wall in our common area and encouraged guests to sit without distractions quietly focusing only on this photograph further utilizing the free audio recorded meditation provided on this website!! What a great experience guests have had with this!! At times if guests want i offer them a chair or shoulder cushion or an electric back/shoulder massager. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN AMAZINGLY BENEFICIAL FOR ALL!! Thank you for this awesome tool!! I highly recommend this for those who want an outdoor experience of peace and serenity but can’t get outside!! Thanks again!!
