From Rewilding by Micah Mortali:
What is outside is inside. What is inside is outside.
Samadhi - bringing the world together
alienates us from the generative forces of the living earth
present moment awareness and powerful communion with my senses and the living earth
average Americans are now on screens for 11 hours a day, and spend 90% of life indoors
slow down and open our senses to the wonder that is all around us
the simple practice of walking barefoot on the earth...awareness...contact and connection
health crises that arise from sedentary lifestyles have increased dramatically - these track with disruption and destruction of our climates and planet
breathing is reminder we are in state of interbeing with rest of life. when we breathe, we bring the atmosphere of the planet into our bodies, and when we exhale, we send our unique essence back into the ever-swirling breath of life on earth.
sit under a tree and breathe
being mindful of your perceptions of the living earth helps move you out of the mental plane, where we easily abstract and objectify nature, and into an embodied experience of being woven into the fabric of life on this planet. when this happens you have the opportunity to come home to your body and life presence in a powerful way. you have the chance to be soothed by a very old and wise friend, a being who has always fed, clothed and sheltered you. when you begin to feel a part of your landscape and relate to the other life-forms around you as your relatives, rather that as inanimate or less-evolved objects, you begin to feel connection. No longer estranged from your home planet, your earthly mother, you begin to feel part of something much greater than yourself.
