Spiritual Awakening: Getting Back To Nature!!!

 When was the last time you shut everything off and took time to recognize the beauty of nature? Each day  that I am at my clubhouse I take a few minutes to take a walk around our large pool area, I stop and marvel at the iguanas, the ducks, the trees, and the other creations that I observe. I use this time to center myself and refocus. By getting back to nature and enjoying the quiet time we are able to stay on our path of spiritual awakening and truly find our inner strength. By getting back to nature and stopping to enjoy the miracle of creation we are able to find joy and inner happiness. I remember one of my fondest moments with someone I loved who has since passed was the day at The Nature Center when we stood and shared a great moment of watching the bald eagles. The spirituality that nature brings forth is amazing and when cherished and enjoyed it opens up all of our chakras so that we are open to receive the joy and abundance that our creator has provided for us.  Think of the times you have reconnected with nature and all the joy it has brought to you and build on those memories to live in the present moment as you continue on your spiritual journey.

During my U.S. Peace Corps in The Philippines from July 2002 – February 2003 I had the opportunity to get back to nature on many occasions from visiting the Botanical Gardens in La Union to going out on The Banca Boats each time I remember feeling an inner peace and a serene calmness come over me and each time I went into nature my day improved. It is when you take the time to enjoy the nature that is around you that you can find your inner strength.
