Out in nature, you can hear your inner wisdom more clearly.  You can access your emotions more easily.   You can breathe more easily.

Nature teaches us how to be in the moment.  Nature teaches us how to go with the flow, to accept ourselves as we are, and how to know ourselves.

Go outside today.

If you can’t go outside today, bring a bit of nature indoors with you.  A rock, a plant, a flower, water, a pinecone.  Whatever resonates with you the most.

Take a moment to sit in nature, or with your element from nature.  Breathe.  Listen.  Be open to anything that comes.  Feel the ability within you to connect to something greater, to heal on whatever level you need to heal, and to create what you want.  Soak in this feeling.  Feel the connection to this beautiful home we are given, this support we have from our planet, and let yourself ponder anything that comes to you as a result of taking this time for yourself today.

Take a moment to write in a journal.  Jot down any insights or feelings you had.  Let nature be your coach today.
