A NATURE CONNECTED PERSONAL
GROWTH PROCESS
Improve your life and the
environment,too.
Have you ever had a good experience
in nature, backyard, backcountry or with a home aquarium? Wasn't
there something of value for you in it?
There are strong similarities between
good experiences in nature and the following incident. Do your recognize them? If
you do, no matter your age, you may walk nature's path to a fulfilling
livelihood, self-improvement and responsible relationships.
AN ESSENCE
OF NATURE:
"In Scotland, as was their ancient
custom, farmers were overturning hay bales to exterminate the
rats that lived beneath them.
A trio of rats tried to flee but, unlike
the other fleeing rats, these three were attracted to staying
closely together which limited their ability to escape. This
attracted the farmers.
Upon investigation, they found that
the middle rat of the three was blind, its companions were guiding
it to safety while risking their own.
Deeply moved, the farmers felt attracted
to sparing the lives of these rats. Instead of killing them,
in awe and unity they respected them."
ASK YOURSELF THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION:
Do you recognize that the farmers and the rats benefited
from natural attractions they fulfilled? That was a value of
the farmer's short connection with nature.
DOES THIS MAKE SENSE TO YOU?
Our research
reports show that, as the incident
demonstrates, people can connect the attraction energies in themselves with
attraction energies in nature and positive change results.
"I have become more sensitive to
certain practical things around the house, like recycling, water
usage, habitat destruction on my own property and use of electricity."
Maggie S.
Through special sensory nature activities
that you can use, distribute and teach, people improve their
lives by using this connecting process in parks, wildlife sanctuaries or even with
potted plants.
Through the activities, as with the
farmers, a powerful, balancing unifier comes into play that has
healing properties. This unifier is dormant in our lives simply
because we live excessively disconnected from nature.
"Learning to love Nature enabled
me to bring environmental concepts into my consciousness that
I have always felt but could not verbalize."
Frank B.
HERE'S WHAT IS NEW:
Research over the past 22 years has recently produced a powerful
reconnecting process that consists
of 124 sensory nature activities.
The process in each of these activities brings natural
attractions into our awareness. It produces the supportive
wellness, balance and environmental respect that the farmers
enjoyed.
You can easily use, teach and distribute the process
in your community as a part or full time livelihood.
HERE'S WHAT
RESULTS :
"The reconnecting with nature process
helped me relieve physical and mental pain. I observed it positively
affect people suffering from chronic physical or emotional illness."
"it enhanced self-esteem and reduced
my dependencies"
"empowered me to help others help
the environment"
"it significantly decreased my
stress and depression."
"powerfully supports me emotionally,
spiritually, mentally, and physically,"
"helped me restore my sense of
belonging and place,"
"is a form of prayer or 'conscious
contact' with my Higher Power",
"constantly offers experiences
I can trust, I sleep better."
"instilled a lasting sense of belonging
to something worthwhile"
"nature's purity and beauty rejuvenated
my true self."
"retrained my 'stinkin' thinkin'
so annoyment became enjoyment."
HERE'S THE PROCESS IN ACTION:
"An activity helped me become aware of my attraction
to the crescent moon as it hung over two hills near my home.
Soon, its mellow glow, framed by peaks and trees, embraced me
in a wordless, ancient primordial scene. Timeless power, peace
and unity swept me up. I just wanted to stay in that state of
awe, I felt in balance with all of reality. I was simply "BEING."
No tension, no pressing goal, just truly belonging to the global
community.
This natural energy captured my stress laden pulse and seduced
it to the rhythms of Earth. The sleeping disorder I have battled
all my adult life dissolved in this power. For the first time
in decades, I gently fell asleep after dark and arose shortly
after dawn. I celebrated the breakthrough and I thanked nature.
I thanked the activity, too, for it lets me reconnect whenever
I choose.
"My strong positive connection
with nature helped me turn sarcasm into a learning experience."
Emmon B.

Too often we suffer and feel helpless
because the deterioration of humanity and the environment hurts
us and we are unaware of its cause.
Research demonstrates that the stress arising from our
extreme sensory separation from our nurturing origins in Nature
underlies most of our unsolvable personal, social, and global
problems.
In a democracy, to reach our hopes and
dreams the knowledge we discover must be accompanied by a readily
available educational process that motivates and enables
the public to apply the knowledge.
With respect to our destructive disconnection
from nature, the web page links, below, empower you to use and
teach an effective rehabilitating process that will help you
improve most settings and relationships.
