Be like Nature, and everything is accomplished......!!!!
“Nature does not hurry,
yet everything is accomplished”
~ Lao Tzu ~
At a first glance, this quote almost sounds a little
contradictive. In nature there is no stress, no effort, no worry… and still
everything solves itself without any effort!?
When we bring the beautiful wisdom of Lao Tzu´s
words to a deeper level, we find that the contrast is lurking between Mankind
and Nature, and not within the quote itself. We are so caught up with
the increasing speed of information and turbulence of energies surrounding
us, that we have lost the contact with the natural and simple way to let
life take its course.
According to National Health Interview Survey; “75%
of the general population experiences at least “some stress” every two
weeks.”
The good news is that we can easily tap back into
the natural state of Being. Even
better… We can step out of the environmental spinning wheel of stressing
“noise”, without any need to isolate ourselves in a remote cave high up in
the mountains? The instant key to solve this is within reach – here and now!
Nature is all around us, and the answers are always
present to us.
Therefore, we can allow nature to teach us how to
relieve the stress in the most natural way…
See the trees…
The trees do not hurry or stress to grow, and there is no need to either
remind or reward them to keep on growing. Trees grow in a flow and movement
of life itself. All around us we see this motion of energies in growing and
returning cycles. Life and death are constantly completing each other through
these generating cycles of energetic Intelligence.
See the grass, or
perhaps a field of barley moving in the wind… The straws bend back and forth
or maybe around, in a soft movement by the wind. The plant does not question
the wind, or the winds right to be blowing. Instead, it follows in this dance
without any resistance, and thereby it also keeps from breaking.
See the water in
a stream… The water does not hurry or struggle to find its path. Neither
does it question the path it takes. It always chooses the way that allows it
to flow in accomplishment… the way of least resistance.
See the animals…
Animals do not stress or worry about tomorrow. Instead they are fully present
in the moment of Now. In this state of peaceful awareness, they are
also always alert to act when action is required.
This is nature being in no hurry, and still
accomplishing all that IS...!!!
Now you might wonder; How can this teach ME to
relieve MY stress?
Here, I will share two effective ways to let life
flow in accomplishment, using the wisdom within Lao Tzu´s words…
Warning: Do not be fooled by the simplicity of these
methods. In fact – It is within the natural simplicity we see the most
powerful transformations take place.
Relieve Stress by following step 1 or 2 below…
1.
Take a walk in Nature
·
Walk in silence.
·
Breath in deeply,
open your senses to hear, to smell, to feel, to see.
·
Bring in all the
magic around you; the trees, the plants, the birds, the colours…
·
Reflect the
knowing: “Nature does not hurry…”
o Sense the harmony
o Sense the peace
·
Reflect the
knowing: “… yet everything is accomplished”
o Sense
the unseen movement of activity
o Sense the alertness
o Sense the perfection
o Sense the completion of every moment, as it is.
·
Be Grateful… Give
thanks to Natures way of greeting and embracing you.
2.
Sit or lie down – and do the same as above.
~
Only this time you do it all in your vision.
·
Close your eyes.
·
Breath in deeply,
open your senses to hear, to smell, to feel, to see.
·
Bring in all the
magic around you; the trees, the plants, the birds, the colours…
·
Imagine “the Pulse
of Nature”, “the Heartbeat of Universe” that keeps everything flowing in an
endless rhythm of energy.
·
Reflect the
knowing: “Nature does not hurry…”
o Sense the harmony
o Sense the peace
·
Reflect the
knowing: “… yet everything is accomplished”
o Sense the unseen movement of activity
o Sense the alertness
o Sense the perfection
o Sense the completion of every moment, as it is.
·
Be Grateful… Give
thanks to Natures way of greeting and embracing you.
What happens when we tune into Nature like
this?
We automatically get reconnected to the pure Source of Intelligent Energy. At the
same moment as we “open our senses” to Nature, we allow these energies to
flow through us. The beautiful “challenge” is that we can´t direct or operate
the transformation within this energy with our minds…
My partner, Paul, and I have chosen to name this
transformation; Nature O´ Wisdom. This is the pure vibration that has the
Intellect to lead Itself. In this state, we are no longer a match to the
vibrations of stress, worry, anxiety, frustration, anger… or fear.
Be like Nature, and everything is accomplished!
