My Spiritual Journey

Nature

I think it is very important in a spiritual journey to surround yourself in nature.
Sorry to be one of those people but put your phone down and shut your computers off.
Go outside for at least a minute and notice the world around you.
It can be difficult in our technological advance world.
But you can do it.
You are part of the earth.
Emerse yourself in that.
I grow up in rural setting next to suburban neighborhood.
So its nice to get out into environment.
Interact with the trees.
Meditate.
Do it for 5 minutes if ya have to.
Just listen to the trees
Swat the flies away.
Don't be afraid to be out there in nature.
Nature wont bite
Listen to the wind
The water if its near
The trees
Feel the dirt under your toes and claw it with your finger nails (gently wouldn't want you to rip your nails)
Let the world talk to you.
Acknowledge its pain
Acknowledge its joy.
If you want to get tied into your spiritually it will require concentration.
Its okay not to get it at first.
If I were you though...I make sure the environment has no trash.
But I am just like that.
Meditation is something you need to slow your mind down for.
People talk about being in a higher plane but for now just focus on how to make things relax.
If you get sidetracked first time that is perfectly normal.
Sometimes using technology does help so try to look up stuff on Youtube.
If you are grieving or having trouble coping mediation is perfect to lift your spirits.
If you have a rough day and aren't ready for tomorrow then I suggest you should do some healing meditation.
Type that on Youtube and whatever channel works for you do it
I think the ones I mostly use are 'The Honest Guys'
They do good healing meditations.
What are things that are blocking you from meditating or finding your own freedom? We will discuss that in the next chapter.
