The Healing Power of Nature

In need of some nature healing energy, I set out for a walk this afternoon to my nature sanctuary; my local park.
🌳
As I enter the park, I breathe in the emerald green; from the carpet of grass to the trees standing proud with their lush green canopy of leaves, still holding on, not quite yet ready to embrace the process of letting go.
☘️
I notice some trees are already acceptant of the change which is to come, they are visibly preparing to release all that is no longer needed.
☘️
Others, have already embraced this change, this inevitability, and have started to shed their leaves as they welcome the changing of the seasons.
🍁
Recognising this process and the different stages for each type of tree, I am immediately struck at the similarity between the trees and ourselves – some of us struggle to let go, others greet change with apprehension, while others fully immerse themselves with the shifting of the seasons, releasing all that no longer serves them, knowing and trusting that all is just as it is meant to be.
🍁
Just as the trees are multi-layered with their branches, with their canopy of leaves, we too are multi-layered. As we shed what no longer serves us, we instinctively create space to bring new parts of us to the light, ready for healing. And as we do this, we allow ourselves to shine brighter, to live lighter and to appreciate all that we are, all that we have and embrace all that we are becoming.
🌳
Feeling rebalanced and reconnected, I walk home with a deep sense of gratitude for the healing power of Mother Earth 🌍 🙏

Love, Always
