As the autumn leaves change to brilliant shades of orange, yellow, rust and red before falling to the ground in preparation for the cold winter air so does the soul journey inward shedding layers of doubt, insecurity, shame, guilt and fear as it dives deeper. And in the same way the buds of spring bring new life and color, so does the soul emerge with the brightness of joy, playfulness, creativity, wonder and awe. Once the old beliefs and patterns are shed, the new can begin.

"What’s in Motion" is an invitation that’s commonly used at the beginning of a Shinrin-Yoku (forest therapy) walk here in the United States. It’s a great way to center participants into their place in space and get them attuned to the environment around them. It is a simple invitation that draws folks into the present moment and encourages them to notice what’s in motion in the world around them quietly and consciously.  Are you cultivating a nature connection in your life? I recently returned home from a week-long training in Sonoma, California. I was trained as a Forest Therapy Guide - which is based on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing). It was fabulous to be disconnected from technology and to truly immerse myself in the forest and the natural environment around me and I'd love to share some of my thoughts from the forest.  |
