Nature is One Heal of an Entity

I once heard a statement from someone at which I felt great annoyance. It was, “love puts humans above animals”. All I can ask is this: where is the love in this statement? I personally do not see sentient beings of the animal kingdom devoid of love, as nature is a magnificent orchestra of the universal balance which is the birthright of all sentient beings.

Here on Earth, animals would thrive just fine without humans while humans would not servive without animals. Animals have always lived in accordance with natural law while humans have taken much from the earth and given little back.

Where is the love in the idea all are not equal in the eyes of the Divine and our Earth Mother? All sentient beings have their place here and have survived and evolved to hold their own on this planet.

Calmness and presence

When I spend time in nature I soon become calm and feel centered within myself. When I am alone in nature I am able to witness my thoughts in a more cohesive way, helping to ground myself within the present. As I observe my surroundings I see a synergism of life forms in all their splendor whether they are in movement or seemingly still. They all have their place, vibrating within their own unique energy, all playing their parts in life’s great alliance.

Nature heals and nature balances.

Studies are now showing forests having a very positive effect on stress, depression and anxiety, as well as a host of other illnesses.

The earth shows her distress

My thought on the issue is this: if we had been living more in accordance with natural law, this planet would be in much better shape than it is today. Instead, we have depleted our Earth Mother.

The bodies of humans and animals work to heal themselves in the manifestation of pain, illness, and disease, which can be uncomfortable. The earth is displaying her increasing dis-ease in the same way. Natural upheavals, disasters, and climate change are symptoms of this planet working to heal herself. The greater the need for healing, the more intense the healing process. As natural disasters are normal, the more the earth needs to heal, the greater the inevitability of this balancing process.

Witness nature’s love

Our Earth Mother continues to nurture and gives what all sentient beings need to survive. Thank goodness many of us are waking up to the fact that we need to unite in the care and healing of our current home.

Everyone has their purpose, be it human, animal, tree, stream, or rock. No one is above anyone else in the eyes of the Divine. We are all one and everyone is notably a strand in the web of existence. Be it human, animal, or otherwise, we vibrate to the tune of our own energetic frequency assigned to each one of us to play our part in the grand scheme of the universe. Is this not the Divine?

To me, love is this synergistic energy of nature and the acceptance of all beings as they are. Love puts all sentient beings on equal ground as we are all one. Nature is love, with no one more or less than the trees and the waters and that universal energy which is all.

 A little exercise in presence

While in nature observe all of your senses. Look at the sky, the trees and the animals, smell the scents, hear the sounds … Become aware of all that is happening around you and pay attention to your thoughts, and especially your feelings. Focus on your breathing and see if you can quiet your mind.

So, take note when you are in nature, away from technology and all the demands of everyday life, how stress abates and allows you to come into a more natural state of being. Is this not love?

This is the healing power of nature.

Joyful journeying.
