Welcome to the new year,
Our beautiful, precious planet is in extreme distress as we welcome in this new year.
Here, in Australia, there are many fierce wildfires burning, destroying many, many homes, wildlife, glorious trees and other flora. Many lives have been lost. This scenario of extreme weather events has been happening all around the world in various ways (fire, flood, earthquakes) in more catastrophic forms than we have ever known before.
Is it part of the new paradigm for our home Earth and humanity? Climate change showing itself at full force!
As the planet is in distress, so is much of humanity. The wonderful, harmonious relationship between nature and man appears now to be so out of balance, with a lot of mankind being totally disconnected from all the wonders of nature – and nature (as well as mankind) is suffering badly. Communing with and having gratitude for all there is in nature is so vital.
Many of us need to change the way we live – and understand we, as humans, are only able to live on this planet due to the divine orchestration of all players (flora, fauna, water, air, sunlight etc) playing their unique role to perfection and keeping the magical harmony.
Nature gives us loving support, healing and restores our balance and strength. By connecting to the earth (walking barefoot when you can) we are grounding ourselves to be more stable and content in this troubled world.
As I say in my book Adventure into Transformation: – ” an exchange of love and comfort for mutual benefit takes place. Dramatic changes can take place in you, the plants, animals and water, for example, when you give loving attention to them. Remember, you and nature are one, intertwined with each other during your journey through existence on Earth”.
May you have an enriching month, embracing nature more fully. Do the seemingly small things – appreciate your house plants, place water in containers in your garden or on your balcony for the birds and bees. Show your intention of being aware.
With love,
Merriene
