A remedy for this hurtful distortion is readily available. Homepage . NOTE: This page offers valuable rewards to individuals who recognize these four basic facts of Organic Psychology: 1. We are part of nature and it sustains the global life community without producing our garbage, disorders or abusiveness. 2. Natural systems are self-correcting. They recycle, purify and nurture whereever they flow. 3. We excessively suffer our disorders because we don't use nature's grace, balance and restorative powers to help us remedy them. 4. We spend, on average, 98 percent of our life indoors, separated from nature. To our loss, our thinking and feeling are extremely disconnected from nature's healing ways.

This morning my husband, child and the dogs walked our normal route, and I took off in a different direction to do my natural attraction Organic Psychology exercise. I walked over the pine-needled ground, saying over and over to myself, "attraction, sensation, feeling, webstring (meaning sensory nature attraction)." At first I was drawn to spots of sunlight shining through gaps in the canopy. Then I considered a handsome cedar tree with a light spot right in the nook of the trunk, inviting me to sit down. Yet, the tree was close to the path, and for a quick moment I thought that if someone were to approach me from the path as I sat, it would disconnect me from my experience. I recalled the advice from the reading, "If you sense anxiety producing or discomforting webstring signals from some things, seek another attraction instead. It will prove to be safer and more rewarding." I walked away from the slight anxiety of that location, and picked a similar cedar tree higher up and away from the pathway. I sat down, resting my back on the tree and resting my eyes on the high canopy, enjoying the site of lovely branches waving to me from high. I opened my journal and wrote, "It feels good to be in a natural space with large, tall trees. It feels good to enjoy this open natural space, I can allow myself to feel personally touched by the trees in a way that is diminished in less private spaces, such as near the pathway or sharing a hike with friends. I feel as if I can expand my personal space in a respectful and natural way." My experience in nature shows me that I am a person who gets good feelings and reduces stress by being in a natural wooded area by myself. My experience also tells me that I learn more about myself and my feelings when interacting with the webstrings of life. I become more attuned to my likes and dislikes, and where I am on the relaxation/anxiety dial. This moment reminds me that I am sensitive to other humans, often in a slightly anxiety-provoking way. Sitting beside the tree, looking up to the branches in the sky, I feel relaxed and safe and happy, I feel support and love. The most important part of this assignment for me is that it is an activity I enjoyed very much and one that I can see myself repeating with frequency, because the reward is not just a sense of feeling relaxed and safe, but that I feel in that moment I learned something, I grew. I feel like the more moments I create such as that one, the more opportunity I will have to really grow in wisdom. A second thing I would say is that I learned that it helps me to mantra "attraction, sensation, feeling, webstring" when I am searching out my attraction. I also love this statement and want to memorize it, and repeat it often - "We cannot teach Earth to speak English or any other verbal language. We can, however, learn to participate in Earth's non-literate, webstring ways since we, as part of all of nature, are born knowing them and able to register them. This is part of our natural substance and inheritance." I would sense a great loss if I had this webstring attraction take away. I would feel robbed of something vital to my health and happiness. I have felt this way when I have lived in areas far away from large natural spaces. The activity enhanced my sense of self-worth to a degree because I felt that I grew as a person, just sitting there those few minutes and acknowledging, seeing and validating, my natural attraction for moments such as the one I experienced, and feeling how I felt with my guard down. It enhanced my feeling of trustfulness in nature because I felt my anxiety in one attraction, and trusted that webstring feeling to help me move to a place that was more rewarding to me. And it worked. My sense of peace and relaxation was felt immediately as soon as I sat down. It feels good to be in a natural space with large, tall trees. It feels good to enjoy this open natural space, I can allow myself to feel personally touched by the trees in a way that is diminished in less private spaces, such as near the pathway or sharing a hike with friends. I feel as if I can expand my personal space in a respectful and natural way. Act now. Master Organic Psychology by doing it. Explore it from our homepage .

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.
