Heed 3 messages from Nature
Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 10:37AM Tranquility exists in the wilderness. This differs from the noise and hustle bustle of a busy city. Feel the difference and feel what is the same. To be in the countryside is to connect with inner nature. Be aware you slow your pace, calm your breathing, and connect with centre of being more easily. And yet, the quiet countryside can also seem full of unexpected disturbances. Notice three messages you receive more clearly while immersed in nature, even a backyard;
1) The peace often sought does not arise only in the countryside. It is not imported from outside. It does not mean to be away from trouble, noise or interaction. It is to be calm in the heart, come what may. You allow or resist the peace and contentment forever accessible inside.
2) In order to cultivate flexibility and stability, simply stop looking for these qualities in what you view as the outside world. Feel life through the heart. Notice calmness and stability within.
3) Live your life whole-heartedly and you are aware of how you think and feel regardless of where you may roam. Live life deliberately and whatever you do is fully expressed or not at all.
