Dear fellow witch type, nature loving person...
In what way is being in nature NOT enough connection?
Do you love the feel of the soil? do you just "need" to touch plants and trees as you walk past them? Do you not "feel" the energies they give off?
Your "feeling free" when you are outdoors "IS" the greatest connection!!! You may not feel like you are able to relax because you "bond" with nature and feel the energies, which in turn can make some of us feel a bit hyper, or tense.
What you sound like you are experiencing is an absorbsion of energies. There is NOTHING wrong with this.
If what you are "attempting" to do is to relax when in nature, you may not be able to because of your "bond".
Here is what I do to unwind in nature. Before I begin a hike (or anything else that charges me up when in nature) I ground energies. Find a spot (in your yard in the grass, under your favorite tree) that is semi quiet. Sit your butt right on down, arms relaxed outward, palms down. Feel the energy flowing around you and slowly release your own energy flow INTO that natural flow until you feel calm.
That, is the nature way to ground and I find it very useful because (ahhh...must be blessed...) I LOVE nature and I feel loads when I'm out in it.
Good Luck Sweety, Blessed Be and Just go Hug a Tree

I am not Wiccan so please excuse
but it isn't just about relaxing and being closer to nature...
it is about being at one with nature
sensing the connecting with your surroundings
I am unsure if you do any visualisations , but this may help
imagine yourself being connected in some way...
a link going from you to something else
I like to imagine my aura extending to meet with everything else
good luck with that and I hope someone can better help you xx

Just do what feels right. Keep it simple. The best talks with the gods I have are when I crack a beer open over a tree and have a drink with the gods. Short, simple, and to the point.

Take camping trips, Bring nature into your house. Buy plants and grow herbs. Walk to work or to the store.
I live in Chicago. I try to make it to parks whenever possible.

:) There are many many ways you can increase your knowledge, awareness and connection with nature. There are even books which offer exercises...
Nothing works for everyone; find what works for you. These links might give you some ideas on what appeals to you.

if you live in the country, go find a tree on the edge of the woods in the late afternoon and evening and sit. be quiet and let nature show you its awesome wonders.

Take off all your clothes and go and lie in the nearest thing you have to a garden. If anyone sees you and complains, if you think they're on any level right then you aren't a good Wiccan.
Rinse and repeat.

Whatever mankind does, it is never enough. That is a mystery. We are condemned to endless pursuit, the pursuit of happiness.
