Many people are feeling
more and more the desire to spend more time
outside. Nature, sunlight and the Earth
are being recognized for the health they
provide. If you are like many people, you
spend much of your time rushing around from
place to place, barely noticing the people who
pass by let alone the beautiful plants, insects
and other natural messengers. Messengers?
Yes.
All of nature has a story.
All of nature has a vibration of energy.
If you could see this vibration surrounding
every thing and everyone you would become aware
that this planet is teeming with life in a way
you never realized before. This life, you
might want to call it life energy, is available
for your healing. People will often buy
flowers because they are beautiful. This
is part of their healing. They are
visually appealing so you will notice them, like
that “stop and smell the roses” adage.
Even beings that do not look beautiful to most,
like certain insects, also have healing energy
and a beauty if you let yourself see.
Have you ever sat down in
front of your garden or your tree or on your
grass and listened. Or picked up a rock at
the park and listened? Really sat quietly and
listened. If you are able to tune in to
more of your surroundings you will learn
that everything has a message and healing
energy. We are all one. Your tuning
in to the message also heals the environment
around you because in this active listening
there is an exchange, an understanding.
Open to this understanding and the world will
look like a different place, a more beautiful,
loving and healing place.
You do not have to “get
away” to enjoy nature. The little clover
between the cracks in the sidewalk has a message
for you. The moth that is trapped in your
home is beautiful and precious. The sand
at the beach vibrates with the healing energy of
the ocean and the Earth. The sunlight
offers life itself. The moon and the stars
stir yearnings in our hearts.
We have some suggestions
of whimsical fun things to do to enjoy a mini
break and refresher from life’s day to day
grind. Write a poem to the moon, or to a
flower. Find a beautiful stone at the
beach and sing to it. Put it on your heart
and let it impart healing and love.
Meditate in the sunlight. Find a blade of
grass and listen, opening to its message.
Give gratitude to the bumblebee. You do
not have to pick a flower to add beauty to your
life. All that is nature is yours to learn
from and to love.
