It is of great importance that yogis inspire others to connect primarily with themselves and then with the natural world. In honor of planet Earth, think about activities that show your love for our universal Mother.
Nature is a magical place that simultaneously empties and fills you, the sight of your wounds, provides comfort and inspiration. Over the millennia, the yogis have developed a practice of observing everything contained in the natural world; especially animals, plants and elements. The practice of Yoga and meditation help you to recognize and accept the healing that lies in the patterns of nature, its rhythms and truths, and bring you into harmony on a spiritual, psychological and physical plane.

It is not difficult to identify the sources of inspiration that the animal world offered to the first yogis. We love our frogs , cats , cobras , grasshoppers … And as for the natural world, you can look back at postures like tree and mountain. They ground, connect with Mother Earth and give a sense of stability. The balance required for these poses reflects the wonderful balance of the natural world.
You can start the morning with a good prayer to express gratitude for the warmth and light that brings the sun to life on our magnificent planet.
There are small steps towards greater environmental awareness that you can incorporate into your daily routine, for example:
- not to throw away food
- start recycling waste
- switch to the "ZERO WASTE" lifestyle
- does his own cosmetics and cleansers
- turn off the lights (save electricity 😊)
- take a shorter shower (ideally with cold water!)
- get involved in environmental initiatives or start your own!
- make a garden inside the city
- plant a tree
- build a small meditation shrine in a forest or park
- volunteer at a local asylum
- become a vegetarian / vegan
They say there is nothing stronger than sincere prayer, so I inspire you to begin a 40-day meditation practice to heal yourself, loved ones, and Mother Earth. Why exactly 40 days? Because it just takes so much to change your established and / or negative habits and open up a place for those new and needy.
