Can you afford to ignore this seldom recognized phenomenon? "Most relationships, healing and professions that are genuinely connected with Nature are more successful, lasting and responsible than those isolated from Nature." The Natural Systems Thinking Process (NSTP) presented in this self-guiding book enables us to hear and understand Nature's wise, sensory voice and thereby improve our personal and professional life. It helps us use new ways to participate in resolving any challenge we face, be it global, local or within us. NSTP works beautifully because the natural world is a beautiful perfection of its own of which we are part. Nature contains relationship intelligences that prevent it from producing garbage. Everything in Nature belongs, an attribute of unconditional love. Natural systems and nature-connected people seldom cause or suffer our greatest troubles: pollution, abusiveness and war; apathy, disease and overpopulation. As part of Nature we inherit this intelligence. However, our excessively Nature separated lives teach us to subdue it as we learn to conquer Nature in the name of progress, winning and economics. The Natural Systems Thinking Process is an advanced educational tool, a social technology that helps contemporary people safely make genuine sensory contact with authentic Nature. It enables us to consciously restore Nature's balanced intelligence into our thinking, relationships and spirit. It empowers us to realize our deeper hopes and ideals, to more responsibly deal with problems, including those we ordinarily might not address. It provides us with readily available, teachable, ways to connect to "higher power" in Nature, backyard or back country. People who use and teach NSTP benefit from a critical component that is normally missing from our thinking, and wellness. Our occupation and relationships improve along with our credibility, global citizenship and happiness.   About the Author: Recipient of the 1994 Distinguished World Citizen Award, Ecopsychologist Michael J.
