Mother Nature

Grandmother Earth Mother Nature and You Dear Heart, , , , ,

To continue my favorite summer reading books, I’ve included Sharing Nature with Children by Joseph Cornell. I would add to the title “Children of all ages.” Nature can bring out the child in us and is part of the reason I love Mother Nature so much.

This summer, or any time, I invite you to try some of the exercises in this book. One of my favorites I used teaching a group of First Graders is “feel the heart beat of a tree.” Another very popular one is “meeting a tree.”

Today, I’ve also included another short YouTube video of Muir Woods. It was filmed just last week, so you will receive the summer feeling. Also a ride across Golden Gate Bridge is included. The park is now currently open for visitors.

The Japanese term for a walk in Nature is “forest breathing.” Breathing in nature makes me feel part of this miraculous creation and part of all that is.

I’ve included here an excerpt about John Muir from Sharing Nature with Children:

“John Muir would sometimes become so engrossed in his wandering in the Sierras that a one-day outing would become a trek lasting several days or even weeks. And in his travels he had none of the ‘essential supplies’ like food, warm clothing or even sleeping blankets. He was sustained by his love of beauty and solitude. Listen to his description of the inspiration that nourished him in wild places:

‘Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer… Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energies, while cares will drop off like Autumn leaves.'”

That’s how I feel when I have only been walking in the woods for a few minutes. Wonderful.

My dad told me a story of his experiences with his dad growing up. His dad would give them each two baked potatoes– one for each pocket– and they would walk in the forest for the entire day into the evening. He loved those times.

We are made out of Nature and are part of Nature, not separate. A friend once told me that if I was lonely to make friends with a tree. I have done that and have realized we can make friends with any part of nature and feel whole. 

We, humanity, are growing in the understanding that our Love and stewardship of our dear Grandmother Earth cannot be delayed any longer.

Spiritual Prosperity, , , , , , , , ,

As we learned in the previous blog, the first law of the Unified Field is “Total Potential of Natural Law.”

These Laws are functioning 24/7 without us doing anything. What we do have an effect on in our lives is our creative abilities. When we work with the Unified Field we have the opportunity to experience miracles on a daily basis. We create with our Divine attributes of Life, Truth and Love with knowing we are one with the Divine and Mother Earth.

We create Spiritual Prosperity through our understanding that we are not separate from our Creator, Mother Earth and the Universe of Good. Esther and Jerry Hicks in their many books and workshops on the Law of Attraction teach us how important our feelings are because like attracts like. Remember in the Unified Field, the wave (thought) becomes a particle (material) when we put our attention on it.

We have the ability to create with our thoughts, feelings and understanding that we are an integral part of the whole of Nature and the Universe of Good. We can easily move toward our Good by knowing ourselves as Good and innocent and asking our selves: “Does what I want to create have Life? Does it contain Love? Is it Tue for me?” Often we try to create from past desires, just out of habit, that hold no interest for us in Our now.

I asked these questions of myself to discover what I could add to the body of Spiritual Prosperity understanding, that included my Love of Nature, and I came up with an Elemental Prosperity meditation.

I invite you to sit quietly in Mother Nature. If not available to you right now, look out your window at the sky. First, breathe deeply and notice that the one element that you cannot live without is air. Thank the element of air and the sylphs for doing such a good job of keeping our air fresh. Notice within yourself that there is plenty of air.

Next is, of course, Water. Thank the Water and notice you have plenty of fresh life-giving, clean Water. Thank the sprites and ondines for taking care of circulating the currents of Water and helping it meander or rush into just the right places.

Next thank the Sun. The fire salamanders.  Keeping the fire element for growth, warmth and purification. There is plenty of Sunshine.

Fourth is our dear Gaia, Mother Earth. Where-ever we stand on the Earth is holy ground.  Our Mother Earth. Our home. Thank the gnomes and all of the many and varied Earth Elementals for keeping our Earth safe in the onslaught of humanity’s unconsciousness, which is quickly changing now to caring for our Earth who gives us plenty. Plenty of food, shelter, air, fire and Water. Thank you.

You have just done an Elemental Prosperity meditation and a Rampage of Appreciation, which Abraham (in the Hicks’ Law of Attraction book Manifest Your Desires – 365 Ways To Make Your Dreams A Reality) teaches us is the number one way to attract our Good. When we remove our resistance to our Good (any thought or vibration our creator wouldn’t have– refer to the Unified Field), when we Ask, it is Given. You do need to Allow it.

Breathe deeply in thanks. Swim or shower in thanks, make some hot tea in thanks. Stand on the Earth in thanks, and you will be well on your way to creating the Prosperity you Love. Thank you. You have helped bring heaven to Earth.

There is a super wonderful book, “Sharing Nature with Children,” by Joseph Cornell, one of my top-15 books of all time. It has many fun games and exercises to do with children and your child within. One that I love is lying under a tree and looking up, which I did with the photo above. You receive such a different and expanded perspective. Also, when you are laying there, notice if there are any birds. If not, very soon there will be. It’s a magical experiment to do. It makes me happy every time. Within moments of you being there, the birds will come to join you.

Thank you for Allowing the Abundance, Joy, Love and Creativity that are here for you. We are all creating heaven on Earth. Yay, yay, yay!
