Earth Consciousness
The consciousness of the Earth is vastly different from our personal, human, individual understanding of consciousness.
Try to imagine it as an all-encompassing energy that pervades every living thing on the planet. From there it is easier to begin remembering our place in the vast life-force energy that flows through all of us.
However, if we truly want to tap into the consciousness of the Earth and join the whole, it is essential for us to grasp the depths we need to go within ourselves to reach that feeling of unity. Interacting with the natural world is not simply talking about nature or going outside for a few minutes. It is not watching nature on the television. It is not buying fresh vegetables from the store.
The truth is that it is much more about opening the lines of communication with nature on an energetic level and sharing our life force.
This may be a real challenge when beginning this process, but by opening our hearts and experiencing nature in its fullness, we begin to actually feel this magical connection. It is purely an experiential exercise.
We need to spend quality time in nature to truly feel it. Bringing our present awareness to nature will enable us to begin to quiet the mind, open the heart, and invite calm and peace into the body.
Allowing it to happen naturally enables us to feel the living connection with the lives of the plants and animals around us and provides the capacity to open up to something much bigger than ourselves.
