~*~The Power and Importance of Being in Nature, Activating Health & Happiness~*~
Greetings!
Early this AM while it was still dark I had thousands of thoughts and ideas going through my mind.
It started to rain and the life giving aroma of fresh rain-infused air beconed me to presence. I lied down to smell the fresh air and listen to the symphony of drops. As usual I thought of Steemit and began to make a video to connect and share. I thought I may talk about the many relevant topics to Steemit, but instead wound up sharing the many levels of appreciation for the rain and being alive.
This morning after the sun came out it was still drizzly and I was going out to do some morning harvesting. I thought I my do a "Bounties of the Land" post. Yet again the beauty of the rain, the fresh life giving air and the peaceful sounds of bugs and birds got me going on the profound importance of nature and how important it is to our health and happiness.
So I made this 10 minute video freestyle, in the drizzle out in the garden amongst deep breathes of gratitude.
Nature is what provides us with everything to be alive. Without nature we would have nothing. I hope you will give this video a go. It is so simple......Probably will seem very obvious to many, yet from my observations around the world it is actually something many are lacking and could use a great deal of reminder and practice.
Life really can be simple and we are our own worst enemies. We get in the way and complicate the simple fulfilling beauty of being alive in presence and gratitude. It is always there awaiting us.
I am truly grateful to be alive and thus attempt to honor life in return. I have been living at world class levels of sustainability for a long while and founded one of the lowest carbon footprint operations in the world The Garden of Eden.
In truth it is but a speck of the true honor nature deserves and but a fraction of what nature gives me and us as humanity in return.
This is but a humble tribute to the benevolent, grace and unwavering providence of nature and life.
If you like this suede Steemit cap or any of the other Steemit gear that I wear every day I have them available for $teem or for just about any currency. You can get anyone I have already featured or I can make just about any custom item you want in 24 hours. I have had a clothing and jewelry line for 6 years and have the resources and skills to bring your perfect piece into being.
Of course they are all manifested at the highest sustainable standards and fuel a truly worthy cause.

As always I appreciate your support and welcome your feedback!
SteemON!
Great message. My wife and I watched this together.
I loved to see your garden. It looks like a food forest. It's so beautiful and natural.
Nature is life and I feel like it would heal a lot of our modern ills. We have swung so far away from who we really are. People have forgotten the land. The good news is I have hope that the pendulum is swinging back. People are starting to take notice.
I connected with the part about being barefoot. It's so true. You can feel toxins leave. You can feel your body grounded and natural. My wife and I both grew up barefoot and it's part of us.
Great to see you just talk like we were sitting around a fire with you. Great genuine post.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh So nice to share this with you....Yes this post was very natural, no real agenda or task.....Just feeling and sharing......I know its a bit slow and long for most but really felt it is of real value. Grateful to share with you two, I can feel you sitting with me and sharing in the appreciation and profound implication of natural life.
Yes being barefoot is really quite important and yet oh so rare. I remember traveling in countries like Africa or India where people are living on a dollar a day and yet almost no one went barefoot still. Well the cities at least, I was like the only one barefoot there!
Thanks for watching commenting and sharing in the consciousness revolution!
What a beautiful way to start my day @quinneaker. A terrific reminder that life really is about our connection with nature.
Was just thinking during my late night barefoot walk through the @gardenofeden that most people never get to breathe the crisp night air, have never slept outside, and most take little opportunity to even touch the earth. It's sad to think of how our "protective" inside environment has taken over our connection with nature, and has dumbed us down to even being at odds with it.
The points you make are really tangible for everyone (except maybe the picking of 50 fresh foods right now), and if people realized how important nature is to vitality, they could simply make a change right now. Nature is always there, nature always provides, and we would be nothing without it.
This post is really incredibly profound, yet so simple!!! As are most things in the Universe--it's just humans and their ideas that get in the way. Sweet sweet share @quinneaker. Thanks for the dose of juicy freshness this morning.
Thanks for adding inspiration and wisdom to this post!

It's always a blessing to interact with you @quinneaker!! Bless it be, indeed!

I couldn't agree more, connection to nature and being truly present with life gives rise to such richness and gratitude! I also believe that nearly all of the woes on earth boil down to a disconnection from our true nature which is nature. We are nature and it is us and disconnection allows for fear and greed and pain. I know it's an oversimplification by some measures but it rings true to me.
WoW!
Thank YOU for saying this!
I also agree that almost all unhealthy and unhappiness comes from a DISCONNECT with nature as nature IS life.
Your name is a perfect exemplification of this. Very nice choice!
Thanks for commenting and sharing powerful and profound insight!
:-)))
!!!💖!!!
Man, I love your love for nature!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
SO do I! It has really been so rewarding and while I do a lot for nature and love it more than most nature has done SOOO much more for me than I for it!
I am grateful this resonated with you and activated the feelings of love and gratitude. That is my intention and I am so thankful to share that with you!
Thanks for the comment. Its great to be connected with you here on Steemit!
It's fabulous to be connected on steemit dude. A genuine pleasure when I catch one of your posts or comments!
Steem on!!
So nice to hear!
Thanks for being here Boom Master!
No bother dudester!!
nice shots...Spending time in nature is like a computer “reset” button for your mind...It clears out all the junk and crap in your head and helps you gain perspective.
The stress in our lives is primarily part of our man made culture. It is an artificial construct.
Nature is real and it gives us a reality check and helps grounds us.
Yes, get some nature every day!
If even a day goes by that I don't get outdoors I start feeling tension build up in my body, it has negative effects on my mood and mental clarity. I preach the benefits of grounding, getting fresh air, getting enough sunlight, and having a healthy diet to everyone I come into contact with these days. So many people have completly lost touch with nature and don't understand what a huge negative impact this has on their overall health. I was exactly the same before my stay at the GoE. Knowing you has taught me a great deal and had such a huge positive impact on my life just by observing how you live...in perfect harmony with nature. I love you, I love what you do, and I LOVE your shirt too.😉
Wow a great comment. I am going to have to check your profile now and see who you are as you apparently know me ;-)>
Appreciate the comment and yes nature is very important. I am honored to have inspired and helped you integrate a healthy upgrade to your life.
That is my intention and I hope to be able to continue to do that for many more!

It's me...your evil twin Christina lol lol lol!!! I finally figured out how to follow you on here so I can upvote your articles but for whatever reason I still can't get a profile pic to upload.
hahahaha uh oh!
Congratulation on getting on Steemit, its a whole new world.
Remember everything you post on Steemit goes the the blockchain, no deleting even if you get rid of your account.
I appreciate your support and comment. Great to have you here on Steemit!
Thank you and thanks for the heads up. Still have a lot of reading to do to learn how to navigate through here.
Yes its a lot more complicated and much more serious. But the rewards are also FAR greater!
Remember there is no blocking anyone, no friending or un friending, everything is transparent and stored on the blockchain forever regardless of if you ever use the account again or not.
Understood. I'll behave myself.😉
I'm excited to see where this takes me.
hahahahahaha we shall see!!!
Have heard that countless times ;-)>
Your positive energy and originality is amazing...more success
Thank you brother!
Sharing the energy with you!

Amen...let the energy flow
This is what I call True Happiness!!! Thanks @quinneaker for share with us
Happy to share holistic high vibes!
Thanks for the support!
Loved this. Awhile back, I had an idea for a post about how since we are born of nature, that when we are at war with nature, we are really at war with ourselves, and vice versa. I think I may need to revisit that, thanks for sparking that one, I had forgotten all about it.
Needs to be out there! <3 Mucho enjoyed this post!
Yes that would be a great post!
Thanks for recognizing and appreciating.
SteemON!
Word! Keep posting and spreading wisdom!
