Day 8 :: Connect with Nature
Compliments of @iamdashabarsukova
Today’s pleasure practice is inspired by nature. Nature is instinctive and flows with the patterns of the universe, just as we do. When flowers and trees blossom and fall, they move through the seasons embracing each stage in full force and with full commitment. And we operate in the same way. We ebb and flow with the rhythms of our bodies, our instincts, and desires. Our connection with nature is what links us with the divine and our true purpose. There is so much beauty and pleasure that can be gleaned from each season of life.
So can you find a moment today to spend some time in nature? Examine the plants around you and notice the details, attempting to fall into their essence with full appreciation. Notice the patterns and textures of the outer world, and intend to feel and connect these patterns with your inner world.
Step outside and feels the cool wind on your face, the rain as it drizzles onto your skin, step on the grass, feel its coolness under your feet, smell a flower and allow the fragrance to draw you into another world, feel the sunshine on your face, allowing it to enliven your soul.
Can you feel the energy of nature; it’s calming essence?
