In My Heart I Soar With The Ospreys
An Organic Psychology Report from a Alaska Course Participant
I found myself on a very windy Alaska coastline watching the whitecaps out on Mother Ocean. In this state the She is aloof and untouchable, saying enter at your peril. I am thankful and content to sit on the shore and watch Her majesty and power. As I walk along the cliff above the raging surf the wind is strong and brisk bringing a chill even though the sun is out and bright. I am asking for permission to do the activity and indicate I would like for the area to participate in the exercise. I step around a bush to its lee side and the wind is cut to a light breeze. I feel the warmth of the sun on my skin and a smile appears on my face, this is the place.
My first attraction was for my poor book! I brought it to freshen up on the assignment. It is dog eared and tattered from many river trips and being toted around the Amazon in my shoulder bag. On the back of the book is still stuck the name tag from the workshop that set me firmly on my present course, with the hand drawn tree, fish and vines surrounding the name "Vince. That was October of 2003 and seems like it happened in a different era, I have done so much since then. There are also a lot of birds flying along the cliff face catching the updrafts, seagulls, crows and an osprey each gliding past without effort. I have to tear myself away from witnessing the stage show performed just for me to concentrate on the exercise.
This activity is difficult for me. Although I am beginning to love myself and give me credit for my growth it is still hard to compliment myself. It is easy to see the goodness in others and yet difficult to see within myself. This is one of those intellectual things where I know the truth, I am Nature and therefore in essence perfect, but the wrangler stories still have a lot of power. I know that with work and time I will pass through this but for now I admit the struggle, challenges and joyful successes.
The animal I like in this place is the osprey that keeps gliding by. I like it because it is wild and free and it shows me what it is like to be unfettered. I change this to: I like myself being wild and free because it shows me what it is like to be unfettered.
I can recognize the truth in this statement although it makes me uncomfortable. I love watching the birds in flight because they remind me of the possibilities in life if I could let go of my limitations and fly. This is a metaphor for breaking the limitations, learned and self-imposed, that keeps me from achieving my dreams. As happens with many of these exercises this one stirred up the emotional pain body and tears came, not heavy grief tears but the recognition that there is pain. I grew up with two hurtful comments that were repeated many, many times, until I believed them. A part of me knew the truth but I denied this inner knowing and threw myself into being angry, at them for saying it and myself for not being good enough. The comments were, "You aren't worth the powder to blow you to Hell" and ""You'll never amount to anything." I used my pain and anger as survival tools, working very hard to support myself and would not let anyone in, an island. I still have difficulty trusting that I won,t be ridiculed and emotionally abandoned by people in my life. I now understand these were just wrangler stories, told by people blinded by their own pain, but sometimes it is hard not to judge them for their callousness. It is sometimes difficult not to define my life in terms of the wrangler stories. "See how bad I had it " ' "My life has been one of suffering, " "I was unloved, etc". I know there were great times mixed in with the not-so-great times and I choose which to remember.
I learned through this activity that in my heart I soar with the Ospreys and Eagles and that I am not bound by the stories of my life, good and not-so-good. I am capable of forgiveness, for myself and for others.

"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 95 percent of the wise sensory callings and fulfillments we normally receive from natural systems and their eons of experience. Our 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.
