How can I connect to nature more?
 

Any tips?

Thank you in advance.

Root chakra meditation in a natural environment helps a lot.

Just go out into it when you get a chance. At home grow a few things, keep a few animals and study them.

I find that hunting and fishing are by far the best way to connect with nature......and if you're successful at it....you get the best all organic food anywhere too!

Unless you respect & honour what you eat or catch, as the aboriginals did and some [such as my close friend's tribe, he is the son of the chieftain] still do, the only thing nature is "connecting" with is your stomach.


The question to the OP is more why do they want to connect more with nature. If it is for a selfish reason then nature won't careless if they stripped naked and ran wild through the underbrush. There'll be absolutely no real connection except maybe with the ticks.

This is why in the olden days of the western frontier the old hermits and mountain men were once often recorded as being different. They are indeed connected with nature and view things far differently than their city slicker brethren. It is a slower lifestyle & far more peaceful. I'd know, I think nothing of throwing a backpack on and disappearing deep into the backwoods for days on end. I prefer it actually.


The easiest way depends on where the OP is. If they are stuck in a city, find a city park and meditate. Grow something in the backyard, or if no backyard the apartment. Take up painting, photography, etc.


Study animals. A better expectation would be let the animals study you.

Ever seen the older folks sitting on a park bench feeding the birds. Notice how the birds are usually all over them, even have absolutely no fear of landing on their shoulders, their hair, or their hands. Try it, it is quite an experience.

I was raised out in the middle of nowhere so I guess I've never thought about it. I would say stay aware of your surroundings. Listen to the birds. The bring messages. I may not understand your question correctly but I stay well grounded to the earth. I pull my shoes off and walk barefooted I set in the woods and see just how quite I can be so the animals will move around me. I'm a tree hugger. Bonding with animals like my dogs. If you just sit in nature your animal instinct will help you.

i think simply being out in nature is a huge step in the right direction. We spend a lot of our lives indoors, that is why so many of us are disconnected with mother earth. I recently went on a camping trip, far from the city and I cannot believe how different it felt up there. It was a much higher vibration. I dont think I've felt that kind of peace in a long time.

I get withdrawels if I don't get out to my trails and trail run (or walk or hike)...I start feeling not so good. I get out there at the crack of dawn and watch that sun come up...no one else around. I am bursting inside. Joy, love fills me. I always have been one to study everything. Even when I get my camera out, I will lay flat on the ground and be eye level and take photographs. I get close ups of insects, plants. I stare upwards into trees and feel the awe of it. I respect it all...well, I have many times swatted the mosquitos and black flies that bite...my love doesn't extend when they are biting me but I understand the need for them to do so. I'm their food source.

Well said...:hug2:
