Recently while I was on
a break, I sat and wrote about how Nature really nurtured my soul.
Listening to the trees
rustle, sound of the sea, taste of the salt, colours you see.. . As I wrote
this I realized that all my senses were being tickled. Life just slowed down.
What a wonderful calming
and peaceful space. So grounding and just being able to connect to yourself. So
therefore, I was in a completely different space, I felt.
Nature lifts me. It
could be the mountains, the hills, my garden, the sea .. anything away from the
city life, I guess.
All my FB and Instagram
followers will know how many photographs of flowers and sunsets I share. I just
cannot help it. They truly bring a smile to my heart.
Last year I had a lot of
health issues. I went to the mountains and spent a few weeks at my Sisters
home. Definitely, something I will never forget, as my recuperation was just incredible.
Looking at the hills, mountains, trees, birds, animals, stunning sunsets just
changed my energy completely.
The
best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside,
somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes
to see people happy amidst the simple beauty of nature. …I firmly believe that
nature brings solace in all troubles. Anne Frank
Honestly, none of us can
always be on holiday. What can or what should we do to feel this way more
often? I want to feel and experience this more often. How do I
create this for myself in my home?
Each of us is nurtured
by something different. Some need the mountains and some the sea. One may need
sun and the other snow or cold.
What are the sounds that
you enjoy? The sea, rain, stream, birds chirping, animals, waterfall …
What steps can we take
to create what we want? To live in that wonderful space? To keep experiencing
our “ nature haven”?
I sometimes just remove
my shoes and walk barefoot on the grass – this is just a most wonderful feeling
and very grounding too.
SIMPLE FUN STEPS
·
Find some photographs or
a poster of the landscape that lifts you. And place it somewhere that You
notice it daily.
·
All the sounds, music,
birds chirping etc. are available online. Just get on and find the one that
suits your mood.
·
Add some pine cones or seashells
or colours that lift you.
·
Get some plants and
flowers into your space. It really helps. 
And
if you cannot, the no. of good quality artificial plants available is amazing
too.

I, in my office bathroom
( haha ), have tiles which really lift me too. Here’s a photo.
Take a deep breath and
inhale. Think of the place You want to be in now. Remember the way you felt or
you would like to feel there. Exhale and feel that feeling.
Feel it, Breathe it ,
Create it, Visualise it and Live it.
Our minds are very
powerful. So certainly use it to your advantage by visualising what you
want to feel. Once you do that you can believe it and feel it too.
Enjoy spending your
beautiful moments in Nature. Cherish it.
God is the friend of
silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the
stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be
able to touch souls. -Mother Teresa
