Your true nature is one of the wonders of the world...and it's never far from you. In Topic 2 you will learn how to bring an animal into this still space. This is where you teach them peace of mind and it is the place of building trust. Sharing the present moment with any being is a true gift.
Our true nature is everywhere, when we are peaceful, we make decisions that come from the true part of ourselves. This is not easy to do when we have so many thoughts and feelings. So many thoughts from so many different people, sometimes you pic up other peoples (collective) thoughts. Like when you're Christmas shopping and you plan on buying one thing, but you end up buying that one thing everyone else wants that year.
When do we just BE in nature? Waking you dog is not being, because you are still thinking about routes, potty, other dogs, etc. We need to just rest, and be, in nature. We create our own prisons, some of the thoughts and feelings we live in can be dark. Being present in nature, and having it come alive within us, is awakening. Being present in nature has a value beyond our normal understanding.
The Exercise.
Find some nature to BE in. It needs to be away from your pets, and somewhere safe. You can sit or stand. Give yourself at least 10 minutes.
Homework: Keep up with 5 minutes a day of being present. BE in Mother Nature for at least 10 minutes at least once a week.
