UNITY WITH NATURE'S BEAUTYAn Organic Psychology Report from an Online Course Participant
My husband and I went out to a beautiful school area Arboretum last Saturday. I woke up with the symptoms of a cold, but not really a cold. We decided to go to this natural area and I would do my homework assignment.
One of my 53 senses or several combined created an attraction that my body knew would assist me. Once in the beauty of the area, we ventured onto a trail that had not been open any time we had been there before. It was called "nature,s healing community" . What a perfect place to do this assignment. There are probably 30 trails in this particular large area. Could I have been attracted to coming here?
Asking permission and receiving what felt like a chorus of "yes" we began the climb up the attractive trail. The sun seemed to radiate and warm my chilled body and I felt drawn to walk very slowly and deliberately take in each little area. The word "unity" seemed to come back as a chorus.
Ironically there were signs describing the medicinal and healing nature of each of the desert plants. I had no idea just how extensive the uses of these plants are and how they have been honored and revered by native people for use in healing. Nature's prescriptions. It seemed that everyone of them related to my "symptoms" and at first I thought, I will go to the native store and get some of these. Then I laughed, realizing that I didn't need to go anywhere or even eat the plant. This beautiful area was literally a commune-unity of healers. I was attracted to just pausing and letting my body-mind-soul soak in the healing energy of this commune-unity and would pause at each new plant amazed that 90% of the plants were used for dealing with exactly what seemed to be happening in my body. The plants were known to be purifiers of the body system, de-tox, and strengtheners of breathing and immune systems.
I began to feel "unity" among various plant neighborhoods, they seemed like cell pods or neighborhoods, clustered together. It felt healing and attractive to me and I just let myself bask in the give and take of the unity. Later that day Paul did a relaxation therapy with me and in it he told me to receive the medicine of the plants and then to give my medicine back to them. I honestly feel like I am the one "takes" or benefits from my relationship with nature this was insightful in that I do give back and seeing the ways in which I do so, was affirming.
How do I give to nature and how do I receive from nature? My thoughts were that we, as human beings, have become so disconnected staying in our houses, our own generation, our i-pods, etc. etc. that we have lost the unity somewhere in many cases. However, being the Permanent Pollyanna that I am---I believe that I can choose unity daily in my actions, in my words, in my body I can become "immunity" I'm unity. How do I live Unity for me is the greater question?
On little slips of paper I wrote 101 reasons why I loved my husband. It caused me to dig deeper to come up with so many reasons. Doing this activity seemed in direct contrast with several experiences in the world lately. Research shows that most people are overqualified, underused and don't feel alliance or unity from the work place competition has replaced so much. My son, had applied for a job that he was very qualified for, he knew more than the person he would have been working for and was just wanting to "be somewhere." He was not hired, sadly, because this person could not see how the addition of one species/person could enhance the community and thus benefit all. This person needed so badly to be separate that in spite of the obvious, he would not budge. His fear for his own survival affected unity.

"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 receive from 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 repair the natural psychic pulse within and around us. Add the sensory ecoscience of Organic Psychology to your life and livelihood.
