Nature.
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread,
places to play in and pray in,
where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
~ John Muir
Do you feel grounded? Do you feel a kinship with the Earth? Do you ever open your arms to the wide beautiful planet we live on and look up to the skies at the sun, the moon, the stars and the planets which surround us and embrace the experience of this life around you?
Today, for a few moments, I’d like you to try. Take a moment, plant your feet on the earth, open your arms wide and look up, left, right, down and all around you. Turn yourself around, only one spin is necessary as you allow yourself to really see the world around you, feel the air, the ground and the beauty which surrounds you. Breathe in the air. Notice the sky’s colors. Feel the pull of the earth and allow yourself to feel grounded in Mother Nature’s beauty pageant.
Feel the healing strength which comes from the experience. Allow yourself the spiritual high which emanates from your soul as you commune with nature today. You may have to indulge yourself a few times in order to embrace a glimpse of the healing possibilities which are yours to take as needed. Spiritual love, nature and healing are all here for you. You only need to notice and to embrace the beauty which we sometimes take for granted.
May you experience the healing power of nature today and always.
Shine On!

I visited many time “Muir Woods” near San Francisco. I think the name of this wonderful national US park is related to John Muir. I remember I felt as in a cathedral… your beautiful post reminds me of that blessed moments… and yes, Nature is cathedral, the pillars of which are redwoods… thank you very much Yvonne. Love to you.
Oh I love the cathedral aspect as I completely forgot to mention that in my post. Thank you, as always, Frederic for seeing what I forget. xoxo
Stillness in the presence of nature is a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for understanding Yvonne and for being here with me. xo
May you experience it as well!

Nature is the best friend anyone could find. She’s a good listener, offers wonderful insight about the world, and she allows us to reflect her beauty.
bye. i’m going outside on this glorious sunshiny day now…:) Thanks!
Love this. When my daughter used to cry as a toddler, I would open the door and we would go outside. We lived on my aunt’s property..a beautiful rose garden. She always stopped crying and calmed down right away. ♡ We did this again the other day. I also lived in Yosemite for 8 months after college (I went for the summer and stayed) and it was so healing to just be in that place. ♡ I didnt hike a lot. I just learned to be in a calm place.
I love that you enjoy and relish the calmness in a place and that your daughter also feels the same way. It is a gift as you are to us. ♥

hat’s the same way I feel since my flowers started to bloom…breathing the fresh air and feeling the magic of the wind…awesome post
Oh yes, the magic of the wind! How could I have forgotten that special part too? ♥
Amen! A message for us all.
Thank you, I thought so too! ♥
This is so cool! Jeanne Marie told me about this when I saw her last! She does this every day in her garden! Beautiful post! 💗💗MichelleMarie!
Thank you for stopping by ~ and thank you to MichelleMarie for practicing communing with nature! ♥
After my most recent surgery, I knew I wouldn’t feel 100% recovered until I could go outside and walk in the woods. Nature does heal.
Absolutely Jack, nature does heal. I hope you are feeling well. ♥
