Let nature help you heal your grieving heart

Heal your grief. Walk in Nature. 


You have heard me saying this many times.


Walking in nature can have a healing impact. 


My tendency when I feel stuck in my thoughts is to get busy and take on more work than I can handle. This goes on until my body tells me it is enough. I will get a sore throat or, like last week, my back will start to hurt.


These are my weak points. They are telling me to take a moment and reflect.
 
It also happens because by being busy I have forgotten to move. I am not doing my ten minute yoga practice and I don’t go for regular walks. 


So after I had ‘suffered’ and taken pain killers all week. On Sunday, I decided it was enough and I started to do gentle yoga moves every time I felt the pain in my back. 
Breathing a lot and yes, swearing was involved too, because it hurt. 


Today I went on a half hour walk in a nearby park. The smells in the forest were uplifting and wonderful. It was a concoction of decaying leaves, needle and sap from the evergreens, and wet earth. 


I feel so much better today. I know it has to do with movement and the experience in nature this afternoon. I can still feel where the pain was but it is so much better. 


Do you think a walk in nature could help your grieving heart too?
I know it won’t take away all your hurt but it might just give you a bit of comfort. 


Don’t wait for the right moment. Just get dressed and go for a half hour walk even if it is in your own backyard. 


Be outside, take in the smell of the fall season, and let nature do its healing. 


I am sending you healing love. 


Take good care,


Jacqueline
