Relaxing into Wonder & Awe
Touch Grass…
When was the last time you you hiked up a mountain, ran down a trail, smelled the forest floor after a rain, watched a porpoise ride waves, better yet, bodysurfed one yourself?! I know you like your Peleton, the gym has it’s merit and some movement is certainly better than none- but (bias alert) the best movement is play in semi-wild nature!
Staring at screens, living in boxes inside of boxes, drinking dead water and breathing recycled air has many of us feeling like caged animals! We’re sick, many of us ready to pluck our own feathers out, grind our tusks down to nubs. It’s not your fault… culture is sick… BUT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET WELL SOON!
What’s the remedy?! Intentional time outside, ideally in “nature”, grounds us back down into our body, offers a natural way to regulate our nervous system while potentially reintroducing us to wonder & awe. The mountains, forests and oceans are calling. For us city folk, the parks! Nature is the cathedral, and we were wired for worship, it’s time to get OUTSIDE!
