InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
September 26, 2023
The focus for today is:
I choose to bring Nature into my life.
Today's inspiration was written by Emma White:
Spending time in a garden is good for you. It doesn’t matter if you’re watering plants or simply chilling on a deck chair – there’s a whole range of benefits that come with it. These include improved health and wellbeing, reduced mental fatigue and better sleep quality.
Those who get into gardening also experience less stress and more physical activity. Research finds that these people even tend to eat more fruit and vegetables. But not everyone is able to access a garden.
Don’t despair if you’re unable to access a garden. There are plenty of ways to benefit from nature in and around your home without stepping foot in a garden. Here are three ways research suggests you can bring nature into your life: You can visit a park, get a houseplant, or make use of digital nature.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of getting in touch with Nature (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: If you don't live close to a park, you can still benefit from Nature by taking a walk. You'll see trees along your way, flowers, and possibly even hear birds sing. Nature is everywhere. We just need to change our focus away from our phones and our inner chatter, and look around us and absorb the healing energy that Nature emits.
Our focus for today: I choose to bring Nature into my life.

Plant Spirit Reiki: Energy Healing with the Elements of Nature
by Fay Johnstone.
In this practical workbook, Fay Johnstone demonstrates how energy healers and Reiki practitioners can partner with plant spirit allies and the forces of nature for powerful healing for themselves, others, and our planet. She explains how to include plants and nature in your Reiki practice, both the spiritual/etheric components of plants and the physical plants themselves. She offers many practical exercises, techniques, and meditations as well as case studies and personal experiences to show how best to harness the power of plants on all levels, along with other energy flows, to support the healing process in much the same way that crystals are used as energetic healing aids. She explains how plants connect with the Reiki principles and explores plant spirit allies, chakra work, and healing with the elements of nature. She details how to enhance self-healing and Reiki treatments for others through “bringing the outside in,” creating a healing space, use of plant preparations, and other sacred forms of plant medicine.
