Nowadays it seems that we often spend most of our time cooped up, going from home to the car, and then to work and back again. The cold days keep us wanting to stay inside, and the warm days just pass us by, because we’ve built up the habit of not enjoying fresh air.
The thing is, though, fresh air and nature should be mainstays in our everyday, regardless of the outside temperature. There is, of course, the matter of oxygen– instead of the aromas and carbon dioxide we inhale inside. Our slouching habits also sometimes cause us to forget that our lungs crave fresh air, and they also crave the ability to fill up to the max (at least a few times a day).
So… once a day when you’re outside anyway or when you are doing something that could be accomplished outdoors as well, pause for a moment and take in the fresh air. Get away from the hubbub of modernity and close your eyes to just experience the sensations around you…
Forget everything but the moment and breathe in. Allow your lungs to fill with fresh oxygen and enjoy the nature sounds around you.
There truly is magic in the natural world around us, even though we’ve built up metropolises and gotten wrapped up in man-made splendors. And it’s truly a gift to remember what things exist in the trees and grass and sky when we have the desire and resolve to see them.
Just a friendly reminder to enjoy the bountiful nature around, and also to allow your body to reap its benefits. Just a suggestion to look up more often, examine the clouds, and name their shapes. And maybe even walk around barefoot in some grass and connect more with the magic in our world. Any way that seems right to you is perfect, just make an effort to practice these experiences for at least two minutes every day. The real-life and tangible magic it’ll infuse into your life is truly priceless…
Yours in Calmness,
