Nature Provides Answers and Guidance for Personal Challenges

Organic
Psychology Elements of Global Citizenship
In
this day and age, most people never see the natural surroundings
rioting outside their windows. Severed ties with the environment are
the cause of this, and that is what this introductory course on
ecopsychology has sought to teach each member of my study consort.
Because of this, The Natural System Thinking Process has caused growth
in both my peers and I, and it has provided skills and activities that
have affected each of us forever in how we individually treat nature.
The Growth of My Peers
It seemed that there was a nervous growth of personal being during the
duration of this course. When first started, the group seemed a variety
of mixed emotions: restraint, excitement, nervousness, and skepticism.
One student starting the course stated that, "even though I am
connected to this work, there is a part of me that was very resistant
to actually doing the lesson. Another person, though, expressed extreme
excitement for what the lessons were showing her. From the start, the
program was making each of us look at our personal relationship with
the earth and the environment from a different angle.
The next couple of weeks still saw a type of resistance to what we were
learning. My peers were only just finding how to separate themselves
from the "real world and coffee to one of natural existence with their
surroundings. As one student said, "At first, I was not feeling
thank-full for this awareness, still being caught up in my things to do
list, including this chapter.
Gradually, though, the information started to sink in, and everyone
began to reconnect with their "webstring attractions." The group was
beginning to relax and experience what the lessons were saying.
Attractions were becoming self-evident, and a rekindling of the
webstring relationship was taking place. One student even began to
replace words such as feelings, and senses, with the comfortable term
of webstring.
As we delved even deeper into the course, my peers seemed to be
blossoming from the way the program was directing each of us. Painful
memories of deaths that had occurred to family members were being
re-examined and worked through. Relationships that were somewhat
unsteady were balancing out when the two people talked to each other
about the experiences this course was providing. Trust in ones-self was
beginning to rebuild through the guidance and support of reconnecting
with our natural surroundings.
Now
at the end of this course, my peers seem to have found and learned many
things. Every one seems to be more insightful and aware of their
relationship with the natural world. It appears that there have been
internal shifts in each person as to how they look at other people, at
nature, at the world, and at their own lives. All of us seem to have
grown in the period of a couple months.
The Growth of Myself
I feel that I have also grown. I started this course somewhat
skeptical, as I am in any situation where I don't know what to expect
the outcome to be. I was recovering from personal tragedies that had
happened recently. I was tired, and sad, and didn't really feel like
doing more school-work that this program was sure to involve.
However, all of that changed as I went along with each activity. When I
look back now, I have seen a shift in myself as well as my peers. It
appears that I am more relaxed within myself (which has always been a
personal problem). I also have been reminded of what I always knew was
true: it really is therapy to go to a natural area and just be at one
with my surroundings.
This course has also reinforced ideas that I have had throughout my
life concerning the environment and the H. Sapiens place in it. With
the idea of webstrings, I can see that everything really is
intertwined. Everything supports each other, on both a physical and
"spiritual level. This idea was backed by the story of the person who
managed to keep a plucked leaf "alive and healthy longer than a week,
just by praising it and loving it.
Another part of this course that had a specific impact on me was that
of requesting permission of a natural area to be a part of it, and
remembering to thank it when leaving. This really affected me. Having
always tried hard to be a polite person, one that is respectful of
others feelings, I realized that I was being incredibly rude to the
part of my life that I felt most comfortable at. I now try to see any
natural place as I would if I were going up to a bar and asking, "May I
sit here? and waiting for a response.
Lessons Learned
Throughout this course, the Consort has learned many valuable skills,
lessons, and activities. We have learned how to behave properly in any
part of nature, we know the importance of keeping our webstring
connection open to the universe, and we now know different ways that we
can interact with nature. Hopefully we will leave this class,
remembering that we humans are only one part of a conglomerate of
existing life.
One student said that she trusted nature to provide her with answers
and guidance, but that she doesn't,t often follow through on what
nature is trying to tell/call her to do. This was stated early in the
course, and I'm sure that today she would agree that she has learned
what it takes to really listen to her natural surroundings.
Another statement from a student was that she felt too immersed in her
"real world" office job, as well as the modern day habit of drinking a
lot of coffee and shopping consistently. She felt like she was losing
her connection from nature due to these distractions. We all have this
problem, but I feel confident that each of us has learned enough to
look past the superficiality of our day-to-day lives and to see what
really matters.
"We
often sense, our attractions, but without understanding what the
message of the sense, is, we limit our full integration of the that
attraction. This was written by a consort member at the very beginning
of this course, and I happen to agree with it. However, The Natural
System Thinking Process has provided each member of this group guidance
in understanding how to use and interpret our sensory attractions. Each
of us is now more richly endowed in the knowledge of our relationships
with our natural surroundings.
