Field Report: an on line program participant, shares
her results from a nature-connecting activity.
THE
EXPERIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT WERE PULLING AT MY HEART.
I went out again when the rain stopped. But I
found that I was very tired. My legs felt heavy, unwilling to
move. I felt fatigued. Instead of walking I stopped and closed
my eyes. The moist air was cool on my face. The air was full
of the songs of cicadas and the rush of water in the small stream,
swollen from recent rains. I understood that at this moment I
could not do much more than stand like this for a short while.
I felt the tiredness in my bones, yet I was grateful for the
freshness and aliveness of the world surrounding me. I realized
that my feeling was itself an intelligence. My body was telling
me, not today, you are too tired, take it easy, don't push too
hard, go and take a nap. My sense of fatigue was playing the
intelligent role of adviser and protector, holding me back from
straining myself to meet a situation for which my energy level
was insufficient. However, the area energized me to feel OK about
making contact with it
My first connection was with some green leaves
of a small plant and I felt an immediate impact of feeling good.
This was before I could ask for permission. I then asked permission
of the plant and leaves and the surroundings. I stayed with the
leaves and continued to feel connection with the green leaves,
then with the green leaves and some pinkish flowers, then with
the whole plant as a whole. Then there was a slight swaying of
the plants and leaves from a slight breeze. I felt connection
with the movement, with the gracefulness of the movement, with
the beauty of the whole. I stayed with it for a while, and continued
to feel connectedness.
I then looked out further and connected with 4 tall palm
trees. I felt connected with their stateliness, felt connected
with the feeling of the trees as sentinels and the sense of security
I received. I felt connection with this sense of connection and
sense of security, then strength, then consolation, then peace,
then dependence, then wholeness, then sense of goodness. Quiet
stateliness and strength.
I then noticed the movement of the small leaves of another
tree just next to the four tall palms. I felt connected with
these leaves, their swaying, the breeze, the gracefulness.
I then felt the energy within and around the trees and
plants. I felt connection with the energy as being within and
around. I felt life, I felt oneness, I felt wholeness. I felt
gratitude. I felt comfort, peace and wholeness within.
I felt a deeper sense of worth and connected with this
sense and stayed with it for a while in the sense of just feeling
it and staying with it but also feeling connected with the surroundings
as a whole at the same time.
I discovered that just staying with connections and the
impact of these connections brings feelings of wellness. Maintaining
a sense of connection throughout heightened the awareness of
the various connections, deepened the feelings of connection
and gave a sense of worth and the importance of such connecting.
Stillness and movement, I see, are equally important and
give a deep sense of mystery in a multi-faceted way, a oneness
in plurality with a sense of deeper meaning and latency behind
and within and as a whole. Such a sense of connection and subsequent
feelings and appreciation give rise to a sense of gratitude or
a sense of tendency towards feeling a sense of gratitude. It
is also like the experience and the environment as whole were
pulling at my heart, stimulating, eliciting and drawing out this
feeling or movement towards giving thanks. It also helped me
recover, temporarily, from my tiredness and later take a nap.

"Human
behavior is rooted most deeply in nature's intentions and desire.
The rhythms of nature underlie all of human interaction: religious
traditions, economic systems, cultural and political organization.
When these human forms betray the natural psychic pulse, people
and societies get sick, nature is exploited and entire species
are threatened."
-Stephen
Aizenstat
In industrial society our excessively nature-separated lives
mold us to betray the natural psychic pulse. We learn to block
from our thinking over 98 percent of the wise sensory callings
and fulfillments we normally share with natural systems and their
eons of experience. Our subconscious hurt and frustration from
the severed disconnection of these senses underlies our greatest
troubles.
-Michael
J. Cohen
Benefit from
learning to enhance the natural psychic pulse within and around
us. Add the sensory ecoscience of Organic Psychology to your life and livelihood.
