My connection with Nature is still in its infancy if i am honest
I think i noticed how beautiful nature was when i first started to draw and paint in Art class, the Art tutor encouraged us to notice the many colours of trees and plants there are, this was about 6 yrs ago, yes i have always loved nature but it was just there if you know what i mean.
Around the same time i started to get interested in all things spiritual so i guess its no coincidence that nature came into that catogary. Have you really looked at how many different hues of green there are in nature, next time you go out look around at the trees, grass and plants, it is amazing how many colours there are. Why i took no notice before i cant explain to you but all i know is i now realize how wonderful this beautiful planet is and how much we should be more careful to look after it and not abuse Mother Earth.
One day i was reading a book about connecting to spirit and tried out a few of the exercise it suggested. I did a few, and in one i connected to a crystal this was a wow moment for me, i felt its energy in my hand and got a close connection with it, i must admit this was a bit odd for me at first.
The next exercise was to connect with a plant, outside it was raining heavily, so i tried with a house plant, well i thought its alive or else it wont be thriving, so i held one of its leaves gently and put out the thought of how are you, would you mind if i connect with you, next thought i got was so funny, the plant told me i'm fine thanks need some water though, bless the poor thing was very dry, this was my next wow moment, and made me laugh a little whilst rushing to get water.
This changed my whole outlook and was a very important moment in my development even though i didnt realize it at the time, for the first time i truely understood the saying we are all one. Now i regularly connect to Mother Earth and speak with her, i even ask when i am doing my grounding if she minds me connecting in order to ground myself, i always get the same answer of course you can my dear you dont need to ask.
So next time your taking a walk just remember to look around and see how many colours you can see also try connecting with Gaia its a wonderful feeling, i love hugging trees even though my family laugh at me, love Angelslove xxxxx
