The weather is so nice these days. In a few weeks time nature exploded. Everything is so green again. Every year I am grateful that this whole process starts all over again. With the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees… We are working in the garden every day. Cleaning up leaves, cutting twigs, planting fruit trees and seeding vegetables in the green house. I think this is the best way to spend your day. It makes me so happy.
To be with nature
It’s probably the best time for me to start the course Nature Therapy. With the birds singing, plants growing and the bees humming, it’s not so difficult to connect with nature. Last Wednesday we did a mindful walk. We got the invitation to be ‘with nature’ instead of ‘in nature’. To be aware of the fact that nature is not a place to visit. It’s home… I get goosebumps by that idea.
So with that in mind, I walked through my garden and tried to be with nature. I looked at the apple tree and saw all these little flowers in it. And… I find it silly to write it down, but I’ll do it anyway. I congratulated the tree with all these flowers. As if it were ‘here’ babies. I felt so happy for her. So the tree didn’t feel like a thing but like a person. I felt connected.
Let’s make a shift
Most people feel disconnected with nature. We see nature as a place you go to. We need it to recharge. I hope I can make a shift. First for myself. And I’m happy to take you with me on this journey.
Tomorrow I will do the online yoga class outside in my beautiful garden. And I will start with a meditation that connects us with nature. You are so welcome to join. Let’s connect together!
