EARTH YOURSELF GIVEAWAY
EARTH YOURSELF
When we’re truly connected to the Earth and Nature, we naturally make wise decisions based on our inner awareness of what would be most beneficial for us and the living world we inhabit. It’s through losing our connection with Nature that we’ve lost our way. How can we re-establish our connection to the Earth and be part of the solution to the ecological mess we’ve gotten ourselves into?
One way is to get into our bodies. Whether running, biking or yoga on the beach is your thing, ignite your instinctive, primordial drive to be fully alive within your earth-suit, get outside and get moving! Movement not only helps to stimulate blood flow, oxygenating every cell of your body and energizing you, it’s proven medicine for relaxing your mind and supporting your mental health, encouraging more creative thinking and an uplifted mood.
Walking barefoot on the earth is an excellent way to get grounded and literally earth yourself!
LOGIN TO THE WOOD WIDE WEB
Connecting with the sounds, scents and beauty of Nature makes us feel good, easing anxiety, restoring our mood and refreshing our souls.
German forester, Peter Wohlleben’s book The Hidden Life of Trees describes the secret language of trees and how they communicate via interconnected root systems. Trees are able to send electrical signals across a fungal network which has been dubbed the ‘wood wide web’. This could explain why we’re so drawn to the particular magic of walking in a forest.
In Japan, people have a practice called Forest Bathing, or shinrin-yoku. The Japanese word shinrin means ‘forest’ and yoku means bath. So shinrin-yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere, absorbing the forest through the senses and so connecting to the natural world. Forest Bathing is part of a national public health program in Japan as a form of preventative healing in Japanese medicine.
When Forest Bathing, you need do nothing but be with the trees, be with nature, it’s meant to be effortless, no need to strive, to aim to achieve or do anything. By connecting back to nature, we slow down, reflect and wonder, allowing our thinking to transform into an experience of awe.
Being in a state of awe for the incredible beauty of our living world, we’re more likely to make life-style decisions that support the Earth.
