"Although I took an amazing hike the other day in the mountains and felt attracted to EVERYTHING, I stayed again close to home (backyard) for this week’s Chapter Activity. See below:

I am attracted to the flower “bowl” I have been planting the last few weeks for out on the sidewalk under my mailbox. It represents vitality and beauty that I co-created with nature. I feel so happy looking at it (and thinking about the mail delivery person looking at it) and noticing the change and growth in the flowers every day. There are all different kinds of flowers in this giant container…I don’t know the names of all but included are red carnations, white pansies, red pansies, orange marigolds, and tiny yellow and salmon colored buds sprouting all over out of these vine-like stems. I just watered it so the droplets are shining from all the petals and the dirt is a rich brown – very fertile looking and smells wonderful like the earth and the pads of my cat’s paws.

I am attracted to myself because I represent a vital and beautiful co-creation of nature and I am also changing and growing every day.

Really I am blown away by doing this activity…connecting the webstrings in the 1st statement as being a reflection of my own inner webstrings was so powerful and feels so right (Webstrings are the natural attraction connections that make up the web-of-life and register in us as natural senses). It’s resonating with me TOTALLY. And this hit happened in a nano-second. Wow.

When I look, I see my inner true nature is reflected by the natural webstrings attracting me. Gardening is fun (it’s very new to me) and relaxing and being “natured” is better than going to a therapist."

"Doing this Natural Attraction Ecology activity while sitting under a tree, I heard the environment's callings. I felt attracted to look over my head. The trunk of the tree against which I was leaning towered above me with its leafless branches stretching toward the sky. It was like each of those branches was an arm with hands and fingers trying to grab the sun, the air, the rain....life. Without a thought, my arms stretched above my head and my hands and fingers were reaching for the sky soaking up the sun and air. Then the message was loud and clear: ' I sense, I feel the grace of nature's balancing ways; therefore, I am.' Strong feelings of affirmation flooded through me. They alerted me to the fact that just as branches reach high to take in the environment, roots growing downward are grounded and that this branch-root relationship maintains equilibrium. I felt loving and devoted to these fulfilling satisfactions that I sensed. I became aware that did not need more than I already had."

At Akamai University, Applied Ecopsychology is described as "An online or on-site science of Natural Attraction Ecology that reverses our disconnectedness by utilizing proven medical procedures. For example, good medical thinking and research have created surgical techniques that reattach an amputated arm back to the body. If reconnected properly, the arm will, in time, function normally. Part of this art is the surgical technology our clear thinking has devised to bring the arm back in proper contact with the body. The remainder of the procedure is trusting that once this reconnection is made, nature itself has the wisdom to heal the rupture and rejoin the arm and body as one integrated organism. We don't know how to do that healing, however nature does it continuously via its natural attraction ecological processes at sub-atomic and global levels, for that is its way. Good medical thinking respects that nature has this extraordinary regenerative power. It taps into it. It surgically provides the proper environment and time for nature to heal, as only nature can. Applied Ecopsychology activities do the same thing with respect to our extremely nature-separated psyche and thinking process and the disorders they create.

The field of Applied Ecopsychology researches and initiates practical self-guiding methods and materials. These tools enable the prospective applied ecopsychologist to learn, use, and teach the nature-reconnecting process in the personal, professional and educational environments. This training offers vital information, expertise and support through mentorship, distance learning courses, interactive workshops, academic readings, Internet presentations and independent study projects as part of UNESCO-approved degree programs."
