“Let Earth Mother wash away your stress”

“Let Earth Mother wash away your stress”

The container we have found ourselves molded to by societal pressures is unnatural and does not nurture our human spirit. The rhythm of maintaining the lifestyle and comfort of that container causes a massive amount of stress. If that stress isn’t properly channeled, it will lead to disease. Fortunately, there are many ways to channel that stress! Among them are healthy releases: creative channels, mind-body practices, music, sex; there are also unhealthy ones: alcohol, smoking, substance abuse, etc.

Sometimes, though, one needs to just leave - get the fuck out of that artificial container space and get some sacred nature vibes. Spread those toes in the mud and let the Earth squelch underfoot, the unbridled sun pouring down upon your skin as you bask in a very different living world, where societal pressure does not exist and the stress of maintaining that illusion can melt away and be absorbed into the Earth, to be recycled by her ever-loving heart.

Then, when we’re ready to get back to work changing the world and making way for a brighter world for ourselves and for future generations, we are recharged, rejuvenated, and filled with new life to work that grind. We bring home some expansion and breath around that lifestyle, some awareness that life doesn’t fit into a mold, that societal pressures don’t define us, and some inspiration to keep nurturing our spirit.

Nature bathing is truly a beautiful thing!
