Just take a moment to feel with gratitude for the planet that is home for all of us.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Think of the trees that give us oxygen,
Our breath and life force that we could not live without.

We are connected with nature.
We breathe in the oxygen from the trees and we breathe out the carbon dioxide for the trees.
Breathe in and feel grateful.
Breathe out and offer to the trees.

And breathe out carbon dioxide and offer this to nature.

So what is it that we are doing to support Mother Earth and take care of Mother Earth?
What can we do today to help out?
Could we use less water?
Maybe plant a tree?
Recycle?
Reuse something?
Help clean up a beach or bushland or park?
Could we use less electricity?
What is it that we could do today?
Breathe in and breathe out.
There are many options.
Being grateful and aware and appreciative of all that Mother Earth offers is a great place to start.
Thanking Mother Earth each day is a great practice.
Breathe in and breathe out.
If you are unsure about how to make a difference,
You might do some research and find exactly what it is that you can do to help.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Now bring your awareness back to the beautiful place in nature you first imagined.
Breathe in.

Feel calm.
And breathe out.
Breathe in.
Feel rested.
