"Unleashing the Power Within: An Exploration of Shifting Belief Systems"

What is Nature? The Oxford English Dictionary defines nature as the phenomena of the physical world collectively, predominantly plants, animals, and other features and products of the Earth itself, as opposed to humans and human creations.

As per the Oxford Dictionary, the definition of nature creates a stark division between us and the natural world, placing us in opposition. Throughout history, humans have coexisted with nature, relying on its resources for sustenance and survival. However, many activities have clashed with the natural world in the past century. The contemporary life we lead in Western societies has veered away from natural foods, remedies, and rhythms, choosing instead processed foods, artificial goods, sedentary habits, and relentless work schedules. This stark contrast invites us to reflect on our choices and their impact on the world around us.

Listening to Jason Prall, a former mechanical engineer who is now an educator, health practitioner, speaker, filmmaker, and author of "Beyond Longevity: A Proven Plan for Healing Faster, Feeling Better, and Thriving at Any Age," led to many wow moments for me. Jason enlightens us about the success of the "Blue Zone" population in adopting a healthy holistic lifestyle.

Walking with my golden retriever, I sing along with music that inspires me. One of my favourite artists is Bruce Guthro. I love his song Walk This Road and the lyrics, "I'm gonna walk this road, I'm gonna ride this wind. Gonna open up my soul and let the sunshine in." Tavis and I walk as part of nature, waking up to celebrate a new day and lean with nature towards the sun for warmth and light!

Jason Prall discussed activating the innate healer within ourselves. This involves reprogramming our beliefs, adjusting our behaviours to promote optimal health, and changing our outlook to embrace our connection with nature for our well-being and longevity. Integrating nature into our daily lives helps us align with our true purpose.

If you are ready to walk this road and turn towards the sun, take one step at a time to become more whole, healthy, and happy! Sit with this concept that you are part of nature, one with nature. Ask yourself what you can do in small steps to bring you closer to nature.
