Preparing Yourself to Enter the Natural
World
Tom Brown Jr.
|
As
I have said in the past, the more relaxed a person can become, the greater his
ability to be aware of his natural surroundings and to feel the inner voices of
creation. One of the ways to capture this feeling and live totally
in the now is to use a simple form of meditation to help you keep that totally
relaxed mental and physical feeling while living in the natural world.
Before entering the woods, the fields, or any of the
natural places, it is good to take a few moments to prepare yourself. Lie down
on the ground, take a few deep breaths, and visualize yourself relaxing
completely into the earth. Let all cares, worries, tensions, and pains be
filtered through your body and into the cleansing power of the soil. Let your
breathing become rhythmic, your mind clear from all the tensions and
frustrations of the outside world. Dwell on this overall feeling of well-being
for a few moments, allowing it to become part of your overall consciousness.

Slowly get back up and walk out from all the outside
cares and worries. It is these cares and worries that prevent us from seeing,
feeling, or experiencing nature at any level, to the fullest extent of our
capability.
From that point of dropping the shackles of society, one
should never travel fast or try too hard. This speed is a carryover from the
pace we have set for ourselves when living in the unnatural society world, and
will not work with the earth.
