Mother nature and inner healing

In the Universe, everything alive is connected.

Yet most of us feel separate from nature. And this feeling leads to most of the suffering that exists in the world today.

The reason why we feel separate from nature is first and foremost because we’ve been physically removed from it. Many of us don’t have the opportunity to spend much time in natural surroundings.

This is especially true for children who grow up in big cities, who aren’t allowed to spend much time outdoors, and where natural spots are nearly non-existent. So, they rarely have the chance to climb trees, to listen to birds or to swim in the sea.

This mindset of separation has resulted in the destruction of the world we notice all around us. The sea is poisoned, so is the land, so is the air. And all that because of human activity. The damage that we’ve caused is beyond measure - Deforestation, Soil erosion, Pollution, Climate change, Biodiversity loss.

All of this is in turn affecting the very core of our being. The physical body's suffering will undoubtedly cause damage to our inner being. To heal this, we must heal our equation with nature. To heal our very relationship with mother nature, we need to start seeing ourselves as an extension of nature.

Life is a cycle, we have heard wise men say - so, take a pause to see where we can contribute to correct the course.

Be one with nature, it is best gift you can give yourself.
