Natural Cures For Anxiety

By Ramakrishna Thinnavelli

There are five elements of nature - Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Either (sky). All these put together is nature. All these are found in our body too. So our elders proclaimed that whatever takes place in the nature around takes place in the man too. We are only a part and parcel of nature. So our body is as holy as the Mother Nature.

All the 84,00000 of creatures have the five elements in them. They all live in the lap of nature. Hence they don’t require medicines or doctors or hospitals. They are leading a hale and healthy life.
This is how life is-in the modern days! There is not a single man who is not perfectly healthy! In the mad rush for money riches and pleasures we are ignoring our health, we know how to safeguard our car, how to clean our house but we do not know to safeguard our body car, how to clean our body home.

You are surrounded by the power and abundance of nature, yet how often do you take the time to study what nature has to teach you? If you take the time to look, you can learn a lot about the natural laws of the universe and how they affect your life. This is a short guide to the lessons of nature.

Nature and the lessons it has to teach us can reveal a lot about the seven spiritual laws of success. Make an appointment with yourself to spend some time in the natural world open to the lessons that you can learn.

Nature is abundance

As you spend some time immersed in the natural world you will start to appreciate its diversity and complexity. The more you look, the more you will see just how much diversity has been created by nature, how infinitely abundant nature is.

You can see it in the diversity of plants and animals that surround you, in the magnificence and grandeur of scenery, in the vastness of a starry sky over your head, in the breathtaking beauty of a sunrise or a sunset.

As you spend time in nature you will also gain a greater feeling of unity with nature. You will realize that you are in harmony with the laws that govern nature and that these laws will govern your life.

Natural laws apply to your life

At the level of the rational mind the laws of nature are powerful models on which you can base your life. At the spiritual level natural laws are a integral part of your existence. Irrespective of your point of view, your life will become more fulfilled and successful as you understand the laws of nature.

Study nature and you will understand the natural laws. Reflect on how they apply in your life. Here are some pointers to help you get started.

Nature left alone is in dynamic balance. Nature has created entire ecosystems where the land, the environment, plants and animals all exist in a dynamic balance with each other, each with a perfect role. The metaphor of balance should apply in your life. You need to balance all the different aspects of your life, mind, body, relationships, material existence and spirit.

Nature is cyclical. You can see this in so many different ways at so many different timescales. One cycle we are familiar with is the seasons – spring, summer, fall, winter. Another is the cycle of life – birth, growth, maturity, reproduction, death. Recognize that much of your life and what you try to do in it is governed by cycles that are mirrored in nature.

Nature is beautiful, grandiose, awesome. You are too

Nature has infinite potential and infinite abundance. Understanding this will remind you of your potential as a human being to create whatever you want from the infinite potential that surrounds you.

Spending time with nature is a spiritually refreshing and uplifting experience. Make time in your life to spend time with nature. You could contemplate the beauty of a garden, a stream or a flower. You could spend weeks traveling through nature to become fully immersed in nature’s abundance and potential. Any experience is valid. The seven spiritual laws of success are built upon natural principles.

Let us give a thought to those wonders of nature we regard to as ‘little’ things.

For instance, a flower bud conjures up a feeling of beauty and tranquility. It is one of the wonders of nature. Depending on how we appreciate our surroundings, the positive aspect and manifestation of nature would be a very good antidote to the depletion of mental energy.
Appreciation for ‘little’ things might take us to a higher realm of understanding possibly making us to reorder our values and to be at peace with ourselves and fellow human beings: in the same breadth making us to be less vain in our actions.
Nature also heals, as it provides a quiet therapeutic effect if it is well nurtured. And much more…

You might be wondering why my advocacy for nature and its wonders.

It is just out of sheer concern for another solution to stem the tide of negativity perpetrated across our space where life has become so cheap in the quest for personal gain-as against collective gains. Jokes aside and on a serious notes, one wonders if these perpetrators of evil have had the experience of taking a pause and simply ask what is life all about.

 

Therefore, I am offering a practical step. Let them try this seemingly ‘stupid’ exercise. They should ‘command’ (as they wont to do) their gardener to apportion a bit of the courtyard to them instead for them to tend and nurture over a period.

Let the influential that have well adorned courtyard nurture a seed into a full-blown plant ensuring in due course that beautiful flowers sprouting out of them.
Thereafter, let them reflect deeply if the experience has been worthwhile.

How to Write About Nature

By David Yarian

Have you ever wanted to write about an experience you had in nature? Or integrate more of the natural world into your writing? How do you put into words what you experience in nature?

Nature confronts us with the web of Life of which we are both participants and observers. The best nature writing weaves communal meaning from the elements of this shared experience and places it before the reader in language and symbol that is accessible and understandable.

Francine Prose, in Reading Like a Writer: A Guide for People Who Love Books and for Those Who Want to Write Them believes that the best way to learn to write is to read: quality reading, she says, informs great writing. There are many great nature writers publishing today. One good way to start is by picking up an anthology of nature writing - the editor has done the work of selecting the finest writing.

Reading is an osmotic process; one soaks up language and rhythm and narrative as a plant draws water from the Earth. Writing, on the other hand, is expressive. The writer creates much as a tree bears fruit, producing words that will hopefully seed new experience within the reader of those words.

While teachers can teach writing and books can instruct, there is no substitute for doing it — writing, that is — putting words on the page without worrying if they make sense or are grammatical or are even worth keeping. Much that a teacher or book has to offer the writing student is encouragement to soldier on and to learn from the process. All the reading and instruction and wisdom and insight is within your body, awaiting your invitation to spring forth so the rest of us can see the world as you see it, for a while.

Keeping a nature journal cam be useful, as a way of training yourself in close observation and accurate description. Thoreau produced many of his published works out of material he originally wrote in his journals.

Being positive is our innate nature. It emerges from within. We try to a achieve it the other ways. It is one of the most fundamental nature of us. If we are human, with human virtues we will be positive. So question comes should we try to become positive, which is the result of being human, instead trying it to be, separately. Being positive is the result of being happy, contented. When we are contented we become positive and when this lasts for sometime it becomes our nature.

Being positive is the central the central virtue, so innate that we do not need to practice it the other way. A hardworking village lady does not know, what it means to be positive but she is admiringly positive in her efforts and actions. Where from this positivity comes to her? This is so deep rooted in her nature, that makes her positive.

By design Creator has made us positive. We habitually derive a negative attitude. We have kids, a good example to learn the ways to be positive. They are with the nature and with their inner nature. Their basic nature is to remain in positive frame. We can be like that. Similarly we can go inside and draw an abundance of positivity from there.

Neither positivity is the result of getting continuous stream of successes. You may say this is the characteristic nature of our soul. All human virtues or positive qualities emanates from there, so why to try it the other ways.
