Apeka aloha, I'm Cindy Palos and I thought I'd talk about the wonder, The gift of nature and how we can commune with nature. Every morning I get out, Unless it's pouring rain, You know, I live in Maui so I don't have snow. It's not where I live, No snow. But I do get out and I will take the time doing yoga outside and then I feed my plants, You know, I make sure they get their water that they need and I take the time to sit and look at the trees around me. And you know, You develop, If you have plants and trees and flowers around you, You develop a relationship with them. And as you do, It's interesting how they greet you. And I think if you've got that happening in your life, You might understand. There's an energy field that happens. I know when I go outside that there's this amazing tree that is huge, A big, Big tree not too far away from me. And I see it start to move and, You know, A breeze goes through it and when I'm meditating there, It changes its energy and I sense this oneness with these beautiful trees that are out there. And the same with my plants that I'm growing, You know, Out there. I have a rose bush that's gone through thick and thin with me for a long, Long time. And some others. And you know, There's this relationship you can have with your plants that are around you. And they've done a lot of studies about how plants are very sensitive to people. And if you are sensitive to the plants as well, You can learn to commune with them. You can learn to be exchanging energy with them. And as you do, It's a wonderful gift that you begin to understand. And not only the plants, I have a few wild birds that come. They're minor birds that live here. And they come in the morning and they know me very well because I'm out there doing my yoga. And they just walk around and kind of look at me. They check it out. It's kind of their big garden. I've got a very large couple acres. But they come by and they kind of go into my energy field. They're where I'm doing my yoga and then I'm out there and they come by, You know. It's an amazing thing when you think about the fact that here we have this non-verbal communication with plants, With birds, You know, With energy around us that is very sensitive to our energy. And how often we're in a hurry or we're busy and, You know, You don't get a chance to be sensitive to that. But it extends your sense of wonder and of family. I feel like those birds are part of my family. I certainly feel like the trees that are out there are part of my energy field, You know. And I think that there's that same exchange of energy that goes on as if they were part of your family. And so this is quite a beautiful thing once you become sensitive to the beings, Whether they are animals or whether they're birds or whether they're plants, You know, Trees, You know, Flowers. What we learn to do is to be aware that we are part of this greater energy field. And the blessings of being aware of these beautiful beings that are around us is, It's like having a larger family of sorts. It's like having a group of beings around you that are happy you're there and you're happy they're there. And I hope you understand what I'm trying to express. It's a subtle thing. It's not a loud thing. It's a rather quiet thing. But it definitely exists. And I am sure some of you have been aware of that. If you have plants you water every day, That you're aware that the plants are getting watered and they know they are, You know. The thing is you can send a little energy to the plants, Not just water them, But you know, Talk to them, Say hello. You don't have to even do it out loud. You can do it silently, You know, As if you were having some kind of communication with them. I think the more you do this, The more you realize there is this wonderful existence beyond what we might limit ourselves to with just people, But with the energy fields of plants and trees and, You know, Birds. And the fact that all of that is part of our whole energy field. So it's a sense of awareness of that we are more than what we might quite imagine. And to be grateful and exchange that energy as well, And to develop it. I happen at this point now to really be grateful. One of my favorite times is to go out and do yoga outside and to water the plants and watch the birds come over, You know, And fly around. It's a beautiful way for me to start my day. And it kind of expands your whole sense of awareness as well. Now, What does it take to do this? I guess it takes being aware, Being aware of it, Being sensitive, Not being, Let's see, Judgmental or thinking that it's not possible. So it takes being open, Being open to that beautiful energy field you do have, And that ability to exchange energy with other beings. And the beings can be more than just a person, Right? And once you develop that, And then setting up the intention to just naturally, You don't even have to think about it after a while. You know, Just, Oh, I'm going to water my plants. I'm going to, You know, See how they're doing, You know. And once you get that, It's like, Wow, Okay, They're part of your family. And I really do have to say how much it adds to my day to know that there's a beautiful, Beautiful bunch of trees and flowers and birds and just a beautiful energy field that I live in that is part of who I am, Part of my lifestyle, Part of my beingness, You know. So that's just a thing I wanted to put out there is how to take the time to be aware that there is this wonderful gift that you can use to extend the love you have and the awareness you have to your family. It's a family of a different sorts, You know, But it's still the same energy as a family. They're part of your lifestyle. They're part of your energy exchange. So, And I never wish to underrate that beautiful gift. And you learn as I do, That's like one of the highlights of my day is to go outside and be with my wonderful birds and plants and trees and things that are out there that are just, I mean, And check in on them as they check in on me. And it's just a part of us that is really, Once it's opened that energy door, That energy exchange, It kind of expands your awareness. And then you will notice once you are aware that you will be aware also when you go out midst other things going on that you'll see, Oh my gosh, Look at that tree. Look at that tree. That's a master tree. You can kind of begin to notice that which trees, Especially if you're going out in nature, Are the ones that are very powerful in their field, You know, Out there in their field, They're kind of like, That's a master tree. That tree's kind of in charge of the area here. And you begin to realize and see how the birds react to the certain areas and the trees. And you begin to see the interconnection that you can have, You know, When you take a walk outside, You know, Or in places. It's a beautiful thing. It really is. It makes all of your time and your walks that you do a little bit wider, A little bit more open, A little bit about expanded, You know. So please take the time to see and be aware that this is part of the gift you have in life, To be aware of your friends that are silent friends in some sense, But they still communicate with you. They may not speak out loud, You know, They may be doing a song if it's a bird, You know. The trees, They have a way of speaking as well, You know, In the wind. They will let themselves be heard through the way they shake their leaves. And it's also sometimes I go in places where the trees, I swear, I go in one walk where the trees are old, Big trees and they talk to me. They kind of do a, You know, Like bending talk, You know, They bend their branches and there's this then, You know. And I swear that there's this communication that the trees out in nature can do as well. So open your mind to that possibility. You know, If you're doing a walk in nature, Let yourself be quiet enough sometimes to listen. I walk every day out in nature and I get amazed now. I understand people go out with their friends and they talk, But I get amazed how people are not aware. I mean, They're out there talking or they're on the phone talking, But they're, When they're doing that, They're not aware of the other communication they could have with the trees, With the wind, With the nature spirits that are alive. And it's a great gift to be able to go out and be in nature and communicate and commune with nature. And I honor, You know, That everyone has their own way of doing this, But if you try, If you're open to it, I think it'll add a lot, Add a lot to your day, To your energy field, To your love of this magic and the beauty of life and nature.

Nature is my happy & peaceful place. Yesterday on my walk with my dog, I was sitting on my favorite bench that overlooks the river & farms below, surrounded by the beautiful red mountains. This is where I watch the horses & cows, & I have my daily talk with God. There are flocks of birds that often fly overhead also. Thank you for this reminder of how nature can enhance our lives.

I talk to my plants and birds daily. What a sense of peace

Beautiful reminder of the power of nature to heal , to connect....pure love 🌿💜🤍🌈🙏🕊
