NATURE in its pristine glory, free from human manipulation, expresses the universal state of Unconditional Love that offers us nourishment and, if we are able to hear them, the teachings that our bodies and souls need to survive. It is becoming harder and harder to hear the voice of nature, to pay attention to its wisdom and to understand its lessons.

Practise to observe nature’s plants and creatures. Be grateful for their fruits and other foods as they are given with Love and offer from within themselves the strengths that sustain and the purity that heals. Allow yourself to be open to the worldly manifestations of subtle universe. Learn about the cycles of life: water, minerals, the cosmos, the natural year – and more. It is their hidden forces that shape our lives – always did and always will. Explore beyond the boundary of our 21st century hard-walled ‘bubble’. Touch the trees; place your bare feet on the soil, rocks and sand. Paddle in the water – or wild swim. Many city dwellers, and sadly many of their children too, lack nature-knowledge. And they are somewhat afraid.
