Ted Andrews, in his book “Nature-Speak”, deals with the importance of allowing nature into our lives. Developing our openness and communication with nature gives us the opportunity for inner guidance and answers to life’s questions. Spend quality time in nature identifying plants and trees and study their unique qualities. Quiet your mind, attune your senses, feel the earth, gaze at cloud formations, and listen. Greet a tree or animal. Read tales and myths of plants and animals. Honour and appreciate the natural world. Your connection with the spirit world will intensify.
