Connecting To The Land
Cultures, connected to the land in their part of the world; they moved with the seasons as they followed the wheel of the year. The Goddess, for them, came from this connection and spoke to them of the land and the changing conditions; they knew when to celebrate, to create ceremony, to connect with the sacred.
Where is Goddess expressed in your environment in the place where you live? Early people saw Her in the land, in nature and She is still there; and She is also in the urban environment despite the challenges that may create
Connecting To The Land – Take a moment to connect to our environment
You can do this for each of the 4 Seasons
Are you aware that individuals who have enjoyed a refreshing visit in a natural area often report that their contact with nature's balance and beauty increased their well-being in lasting ways. They say that the connection renewed their psyche, cleared their mind and energized their spirit. Healing With Nature empowers anyone, at anytime, to increase personal, social and environmental wellness, and help others do the same.
This statement was from Dr. Micheal Cohen from project nature
Each of our environment(s) teach us a lesson. We may feel a sense to move and travel to another part of the state, city, or country. It is this feeling that we must nurture so we can fulfill the need that our soul is calling out to.
Each place that we live in gives us the opportunity to understand the land and the people who currently live there and who have lived there in the past.
These lessons from the land connect us to our own being……even if we feel we do not connect to that particular land….ask yourself what was it that made you feel that way?
Let us now take some time to answer these questions……..
Take note of all of the places you have lived
Take note of all of the places you have been/traveled to
Do you feel the need to live somewhere else?
Do you feel the need to travel somewhere?
Do you feel a calling to visit a particular land?
Connecting to the land and environment you live on and clue us in on how we need to work with the land. Be aware of your surroundings; how does the land want to work with you. What is calling to you? Just ask the land; what do you need from me? How can we help each other?
My Sacred Ways explores this connection to the land; enabling you to work with each of the elements. You will have an understanding of your environment
