InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
June 13, 2024
The focus for today is:
I allow my body to physically connect with nature
and I choose to fall in Love with Mother Earth.
Today's inspiration was written by Jovanka Ciares:
The wellness practice of grounding, or what’s also called “earthing,” is vital. At its most fundamental, this means literally touching the earth with our hands, feeling nature on our skin. It means walking barefoot in the grass and swimming in the ocean and feeling bark on our palms.
Whether these practices are called grounding, earthing, or simply reconnecting with nature, they share an essential element: physically touching or making contact with the natural world. This is an underrated but critical component of wellness: Allowing our body to physically connect with nature fosters emotional connection.
Our connection with the earth is undeniable. We rely on Mother Earth for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the foods that keep us alive and well. We must all fall in love (or fall back in love) with Mother Earth, which will inspire more deliberate efforts to protect her.

Practices for Grounding and Reclaiming Your Connection to Nature

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of falling in love with Mother Earth (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: Mother Earth - Nature - is so amazing. Look at the details in a flower, the abundance of fruit on a tree, the miracle of a plant or tree growing out of a tiny seed, the purity of water springing from the Earth, etc. etc. When we pay attention to the wonderfulness of Mother Earth, how is it even possible to not feel gratitude and Love? Let's pay attention to the wonders of Nature, of Life, of Living, and let's fall in Love with it all. From that space will come gratitude and right action.
Our focus for today: I allow my body to physically connect with nature and I choose to fall in Love with Mother Earth.
