Sacred Parenting - The Sixth Sacred Key

THE SIXTH SACRED KEY - THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURE
 

Babies, toddlers, primary school children and teenagers all benefit in many, many ways when nature, and the garden, is part of their lives. 


                             NATURE TIME  =  MORE BALANCED LIFE = HAPPINESS
 
Whilst you are pregnant     it is wise to take time out to sit and reflect in amongst nature. The garden, or maybe  the local park, is a beautiful place to relax and hence recharge. Take a stroll through a Botanical garden or a walk near a river. Listen to the bird calls or maybe listen to the wind or the roar of waves crashing on the sand connecting you and your child to the patterns and rhythm of creation.
The unborn growing baby hears everything. The sounds of nature whilst recharging the mother, and/or  father,
will be creating  a sense of belonging and wholeness within the soul of your unborn child.
Fresh air, breathe it in deeply and know that you are filling yourself up with divine essence. Know  that you are filling yourself (and your baby) with beauty and unconditional love. Enjoy. Be still for a few minutes. Feel the wind on your cheek. New life.

Sun yourself for twenty minutes a day - expose your tummy and feel the warmth of creation warming your tummy. Vit D produced with the help of the sun , especially for bone health, is an added bonus.
  
Do all the above with your baby
Do all of the above with your toddler


Play in nature. Walk in nature. Picnic in nature. Rest in nature. 
Together plant flowers and food in your garden and watch them grow. Watch creation take place before your eyes. Together listen to the birds and watch how they fly. Together breathe, laugh and dance in nature. Together watch the change in seasons and the patterns of nature.  Together be part of the great mystery.



Walk 
In nature

Smell the air
See the beauty                         
Breathe in the new and out the old
Recharged 
Connected


Splash 
Tickling trickles
Wet hair

Feel the coolness
Of the water 
Washing away 
Your hurts and frustrations
Refreshed

New Life





 
Ocean vast
Relentless
Crashing waves
Rhythmic 
Constant
Footprints on the sand



 

Play
Laugh
Chase
Sit together
Hide and seek
Imagination
Within creation
The garden
Nourishes
The soul
Warms 
The heart
Gives
Food and shelter
For birds, bees and butterflies
Happiness 
Can be found
In the garden
               
  




      Blessings on the blossom                
      Blessings on the fruit
      Blessings on the leaves and stems
      And blessings on the root

      Thankyou Mother Earth 


                       



 NATURE TIME  =  MORE BALANCED LIFE = HAPPINESS Together nurture your children and watch them  flower and bear fruit

Until next time, Cheers & Love CMW
