Earth Healin’

As I sit and write this to the warm morning sunshine of my back porch, I am sipping my cup of Awaken Matcha, listening to the birds and the breeze sing and sigh, and reflecting on a really nice time that I just had in the woods. I love the woods.

Summer is such an amazingly energetic time. We all have felt the invigoration that a few warm rays will give…just ask those people who wear shorts and sandals at the first sign of fifty degrees after a long winter (yes, I am one of you…). The summertime buzz abounds in the woods as well. I personally love to run through the trees. This is something that heals me on many levels. It brings balance to my life, strength to my mind, spirit, body and soul. This last time, I was deep in a gorge and standing in a rich riparian area. I paused for a moment and looking up the watershed almost burst into tears. It was so breathtaking, so moving—the spirits so powerful and proud. It was then that I though of how much nature gives me, gives us. I am honored to be an Earth Healer.

Hi Dr, Pesek,
One of your student, I enjoy nature and am glad you shared this info. In Jamaica am understood for my love, respect and gratitude for nature in America some people look at me as if am crazy or weird but I often times tell them that if what I love makes me weird then Id rather die a happy weirdo than to die a sad weirdo because I don't enjoy my self because of what people think.

It is a great experience when you can sit and take in nature -- the sun, the singing and the wind. I use to do that alot when I was younger but living in and around the city you don't miss it until you actually experience it. Your description took me there again!

I thank you for your post about your experiences in nature. I, too, have had similar moments of overwhelming peace and happiness in the heart of a forest. The great thing is, you don't have to go far to find it. Sure, it would be great to be somewhere in Peru, or Montana, but you can't beat the opportunity for the quick trip to the MetroParks in the middle of the week to rejuvenate your soul!

I found one of your websites, www.earthhealers.com, and I look forward to exploring that in greater detail. Thanks!
