Observation

Observation.

I really love my dog and she means the world to me.Since I've had her we have explored and discovered new trails, paths and forests that I would never have known existed. I love watching her enjoy life without contemplating the past or the future. She doesn't mull over past problems or fear anything for the future. She exists and enjoys the surroundings as they are.

In essence, it is Yoga.Some of the earliest records of Yoga detail it as being a spiritual practice, not rooted in any religion or cultural beliefs. History says that ancient people observed nature and connected to it to develop their consciousness and feel more whole. (The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means coming together). As time went on they developed further postures that mimicked nature - mountain pose, cobra, down dog, cat-cow... and on we go .. the student is instructed to think about the natural world and meditate as they practice "yoga".It is a sobering thought in a world that is ever more connected and technology-focused.

We often feel the place where we can take the deepest breath is on a warm sunny day, visiting a local park, sitting at the beach, or walking on a hilltop peering outwards from a high vantage point.

Observing nature not only allows us to connect us spiritually to the universe where we live, but also helps us to witness nature as it is and reflect on our existence and where we fit in. Nature never strains to prove itself or wishes it were liked in an Instagram post.

It simply exists. 

"Choose only one master—Nature."
