I have tried it in various settings throughout the past several days--in my neighborhood, on a walk under the full moon in the desert, while driving down the highway, with birds in my yard. We live in a neighborhood with concrete block walls and I expected to just be able to connect with nature-what happened was that I felt the boundaries of the houses. I don't know how to explain that one--was a surprise. Driving down the highway I wanted to see if it was possible to feel a connection to people (we're part of nature, at least some of us think we are)--it was not. My son says that people think they are invisible when riding in cars. I wanted to focus upon the walk under the full moon. I could feel the unity go in and out as I said the word "unity" and when I did not. I noticed the community of how the desert plants seem to grow together in community--commune-unity. They seem to grow in families--a large group of prickly pear cactus, Saguaro's seem to group. For me personally there is a lot of stimulus in the daylight--sometimes too much. I love the quiet of the night. Walking under the full moon the stimulus was "just right". I looked at the moon and said "unity repeatedly". I always feel connected to the full moon, however this was enhanced. In the entire experience I felt the unity coming back to me. We set up bird feeders in the yard this week and have an abundance of birds. Today a cactus wren sang me a morning greeting and I watched as the unity became part of my day actually in connecting with the birds. It kind of just happened, almost not consciously on my part. I was blessed with the gift of birds up close and connecting or unifying with me. I discovered that unity is reciprocal and natural and that the beginning and end of the day are a natural attraction to me. I wondered if it because the people seem to be slowing down. I learned that the communing of commune-unity is quieting and calming. All of my life I have felt closer to animals and nature and this activity shows me I have a natural attraction to unity. My feelings were: peace, quiet, calm. Some "stay away" and non-permission in the neighborhoods. I also did this activity seven year old granddaughters. The qualities they have are "in the moment now", honesty, laughter, ability to play, thoughtfulness, kindness and consideration. I feel unconditional love coming from them. I could go on and on. To be honest I do know that many children have these qualities (however more and more are losing them to our asleep world at an earlier age). I believe that most adults have lost them somewhere along the way. Have you ever noticed that almost all babies and little children will smile at you? I make a point to smile at people, even strangers and often am met with a very strange look, almost surprise. They don't know how to respond. As I watch my golden retriever she says more without speaking than most people I know--maybe that is why God is dog spelled backwards (smile). Doing this activity I realize that I naturally "listen beneath words" may have mentioned this before. I would miss this ability and do not want to give it up. I feel like I am hanging on to this work as a lifeline in this big city. Thank you all for your thoughtful responses to my posts. Act now. Master Organic Psychology by doing it.

Alarm! Alarm! Well-being at risk Help turn the tide! www.SaneEarth.com             "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.
