Today finds most of us inside a lot. I know I spend way too much time indoors. In the book How Green Smoothies Saved My Life, one of my articles is on the power of taking off your shoes and walking on stone or grass to connect with mother earth. When ever you feel yourself a little down this is a great time to take a walk in nature and recharge your batteries. The earth is a healing living being that wants to connect with us. We both benefit from each other. The wonderful electromagnetic fields from the earth come right up through our feet. But if that is too technical lets’ just go with all its beauty. Picture yourself walking and enjoying the beautiful trees, birds and delightful squirrels. There is an abundance of fresh air, sun and great smells. This is a time when you can just get away from all the stresses of the day and take some “me time”. As you know you can only help others when you are nourished and feeling your best. Mother nature is a wonderful giver and asks so little in return. In my interview on Think Fit Radio with Dr. Susan Jones she explains that people used to come from all over to get help from her wonderful healer grandmother. One of the first things this sage woman would do was to take these people for a walk in her beautiful yard and just listen to what they had to say. I found this so simple but powerfully helpful at the same time.
So yes it is that simple. Set the intention to spend some time in nature and outside everyday. Even if it is just 30 minutes this will give you a lift. Make excuses to get out doors. Talk to neighbors outside. Go to the park. You get the idea. I know you will start to feel the wonderful effects of our beloved earth.
