For a good number of people, as kirk said, its not natural to do. (Actually any playing of guitar for the matter). Try to play guitar doing strumming motions as often as possible (even when lacking guitar, use airguitar!), then the motions shall be more 'natural'. I know that before I started to actually play a real guitar, I played air guitar, pretending to strum. (Yep, I had the tennis racket thing goin...). This bit of 'fun' was what I believed let me be able to strum a guitar as soon as I took it up.
I still catch myself doing airguitar from time to time, with looks as a result :roll:
Guitar: 1) Behringer Stratocaster; Webstrings Memphis Electric Xlight strings; Dunlop Picks
2) Ibanez TCY-10 Talman Series; Elixir Light strings.
