Nature’s teachings…
What we admire, notice or are attracted to in Nature can teach us a lot about ourselves. It can reflect different aspects of our personal essences and guide us.
Trees, flowers, stones, animals, clouds, etc… all have their own folklore, symbology and “medicine” known throughout many cultures around the world.
For the purpose of this post, I’ll mention only a few simple ones and invite you to think about your own personal interpretations based on your sense of “knowing” or other intuitive senses… See what these might mean to you.
Clouds can remind us of adaptability, shape-shifting, manifestation, power (storms).
Trees can signify patience, strength, wisdom and resilience.
Plants can inspire beauty, presence, cycles and blossoming.
Mammals have a wide range of qualities, wisdom and teachings, and can remind us about resourcefulness, cunning, stamina, nurturing, rhythms, perseverance, metamorphosis, awareness, etc.
Stones can represent “being” and groundedness.
The sun can signify radiance of spirit and inner gifts.
Rivers can remind us to “go with the flow” without resistence.
Birds also exemplify multiple qualities, wisdom and teachings, and can reflect to us the ability to soar, dive, persist, migrate, sing, weave, stand out, dance, see with clarity, etc.
What do these mean to you when you encounter them in Nature? Do they represent something in you that you might not be aware of, or a quality that you desire? Do they reflect an aspect of your own personality that you forgot you had or ignore, and can use to empower yourself?
By asking ourselves questions like these, we open our awareness to Nature and ourselves in a way that can serve as guidance and empowerment in our lives. It’s also useful to pay attention to what we experience in our surroundings in synchronicity with our current life circumstances. There’s always a message for us. Being Nature ourselves, we all know how to benefit from Nature’s teachings, it’s just a matter of remembering… ♥
With love and wonder-filled spirit,
