In pristine places in nature the energy is pure and the vibration is high. As we spend time in nature our energy field is cleansed of excess energies, which helps us to feel lighter, more energized and clear. As we walk barefoot on the earth, sit or lay on the ground, or we dig into the soil with our hands, our electro-magnetic energy syncs up with the Earth. This is called Earthing or Grounding. By spending plenty of time immersed in nature we stay grounded, which ensures us to be more effective channels of energy and information.―Zahrah SitaAligning with the Rhythm of Nature(https://www.volunteerlatinamerica.com/blog/posts/aligning-with-the-rhythm-of-nature)
Is nature your healer, teacher, friend, ally, wisdom-giver, awe-creator?
We came out of the earth and yet we often feel separated from it. Why is that? Whether one believes in a creation myth, evolution, or both, what everyone agrees on is this: humans emerged form the earth. It would seem then there should be something else we could all agree on: The earth is a marvelous teacher and ally.
There are places in this world that, when I visit them, immediately draw me into a deeper place within. It’s as if I was “made for the place.” Give me a lush forest with a stream and plenty of animals that won’t eat me, and I’m “in heaven.” When I’m in this kind of place, I experience what Emerson called, “the lesson of worship.” I’m in awe of the mystery of the place, how it came to be, how it speaks to me, and how the rhythm of the place yields life.
How about you? Where in nature does your soul thrive? How does nature touch reach and teach you?
In the third segment of our series, The Rhythms of Life, we’re considering the rhythm of nature. Why is nature so important to our well-being? What can we learn from nature about life? And why is a nature-rooted spirituality a meaningful pursuit. As we explore this rhythm, consider how nature speaks to you. In fact, maybe you should get out in it and let it “do its thing.”
As part of each segment of this series, you can explore more about the rhythms of life through:
- Weekly thoughts/blogs about the topic of the week
- A weekly podcast that focuses on the topic of the week
- A reflective guide yhink ou can use for individual or group exploration
