How Nature Works: The Natural Systems Thinking Process
NOTE: The quoted information, below, contains parts of field study samples from anonymous participants in our sensory green nature-connection program. Other examples and findings are available through links on our survey page.
"My Zen experience in nature shows me that I am a person who gets good feelings from watching the branch tips of the evergreen move ever so gently and effortlessly with the slightest breeze. I am impressed and nurtured by the relationship between the tree and the breeze and between the tree's dance and me. The wonder here makes this a safe and loving place for me to be. There is no question that it builds trust in it.
This was such a simple moment. Resting on the log, looking up to the beaurty pf a pale sky, enjoying the silhouette of the lacy branch, watching the effortless sway and dance, noticing there was no resistance.
I learned that nature, for me, is almost always a safe place. I learned that to be connected is only a matter of awareness. I learned that when I am connected, I feel more love ande alive, more like the authentic "me."
This was such a simple moment, yet in the laughter of the activities of the day that followed, it may have been one of the most important because I felt real and grounded. I could refer back to it with a thought, and still be affected by it. If I had not experienced it, I would have had a less loving day and more trust issues.
I felt loved, connected to my authentic self. The part that it re-educated was that of the immediacy and generosity of nature.
"Who I am in nature is one who is worthy of peace, and that peace is available all around me in what I call nature."
The branch that dances in the sky is still dancing -- am I?"
"To me the callings of the natural world and its beauty were undeniable. They offered unconditional love and I deeply felt gratitude. They never spoke harsh words. I could SO relate to the Zen of these words! I could also relate to this statement:
"I trusted the magic of fire far more than most promises ever made to me."
I, too, was promised many things - so many of which never came true- from people I was supposed to rely on and trust.
And finally, the last statement, "You can find that truth by trusting what you experience - what you sense and feel..."
Right on- I now only trust what I know and experience - not necessarily what I hear.
In this activity I am a crow - balancing on a post - calling out to the spirit of the winds. Seemingly filling up my entire body with air, so that my voice can be heard. My whole body puffs up and as I release my breath, I use my voice and it carries through the air. I attempt to make my voice sound like that of the crows. I watch another crow waddle along the ground. And attempt to move my body in the same way.
It's been a long time since I expanded my lungs to this degree. I can recollect participating in this expansion of things easier than I can in using my voice to the degree I did today.
The closest experience I've had to this is when I sometimes find myself wanting to howl at the full moon! Yes I do that! I feel so thrilled when I see a full moon - and feel so connected to the sky. It's like if I howl I somehow become a part of the sky. Of course - there are times when I do this in front of someone (without thought) and some either join in with me and do it themselves .. or .. they look at me as if I'm strange!
I enjoy being a crow because it reminds me to inhale and use my voice to its fullest capacity.
I like myself because I am able to take a deep breath and use my voice to its fullest capacity.
I am attracted to my fellow Singing Winds - their hearts and their voices (the words I get to read) are so beautiful. They give me a social psychology I use to be able to tap into the innate wisdom of their inner nature by tuning into nature around them. Then, I share those experiences with myself and others in the group. I appreciate you and am grateful to be a part of this group with you - for all you bring to my life and for all the affirmations you provide to me based on my experiences.
