"Not my type"

 December 26. The hour is that indeterminate stretch between twilight and total darkness, when the light in the room acquires the color of old amber, and the shadows on the corners begin to breathe to the rhythm of my own thoughts. Today someone closes a door that I didn't even know I'd leaned in hope. The words were uttered with that polite, almost surgical precision that leaves no room for hemorrhage but causes a deep, thumping dull pain: "I will never fall in love with you, you're not my type." When you hear this, the first thing that leaves you is not the belief in the other, but the sense of your own wholeness. In the space of psychoanalytic experience, this "type" that is spoken of is actually a complex amalgam of unconscious projections, children's deficits and archetypal shadows that the other carries within it. When someone tells me I'm not his type, they actually say, "You don't fit my inner myth. Your face does not coincide wi...

In our #modernworld, it is easy to feel disconnected from #nature. We spend most of our time indoors, surrounded by #technology and the #bustle of #citylife. However, humans have an innate connection to the natural world, and we can benefit greatly from spending time in nature.

#Slowliving encourages us to embrace the natural world and live in #harmony with it. When we slow down and take the time to appreciate nature, we can experience a deep sense of #peace and #wellbeing. In this post, we will explore the ways in which living in #harmony with the natural world can enhance our #spiritual lives and promote a more #fulfilling way of living.

There is something inherently #healing about spending time in nature. Numerous studies have shown that being in natural environments can #reducestress levels, lower blood pressure, and even boost the immune system. This is likely due to the fact that nature is inherently #calming and #soothing to the human mind and body.

When we spend time in nature, we are reminded of the #beauty and #wonder of the natural world. We may feel a sense of awe and wonder at the vastness of the universe, or the #intricacy of a leaf. This can lead to feelings of #gratitude and a greater sense of connection to something larger than ourselves.

Living in #harmony with nature means treating the natural world with #respect and #care. It means recognizing the #interdependence between humans and the #environment and taking steps to reduce our impact on the earth. This can include things like reducing our energy usage, eating locally sourced foods, and reducing waste.

When we live in harmony with nature, we begin to see ourselves as part of a larger #ecosystem. We recognize that our actions have an impact on the world around us and #takeresponsibility for those impacts. This can lead to a greater sense of #purpose and #meaning in our lives as we work to create a more #sustainableworld for ourselves and #futuregenerations.

Many #spiritualtraditions have recognized the importance of nature in our spiritual lives. For example, in many #Indigenouscultures, the natural world is seen as #sacred and is #deeplyintertwined with their #spirituality. In Hinduism, the god #Vishnu is often associated with the #naturalworld, and in #Buddhism, the natural world is seen as a #manifestation of the #Divine.

There are many ways in which we can incorporate nature into our #spiritualpractices. We may choose to #meditateoutdoors, or #practiceyoga in a natural setting. We may also incorporate nature into our #rituals and #ceremonies, using elements like fire, water, and earth to symbolize different aspects of our spirituality.

Living a more sustainable, environmentally friendly lifestyle can also be seen as a spiritual practice. By reducing our impact on the earth, we are showing respect and care for the natural world, which can be deeply spiritual and #meaningful.

Living in harmony with the natural world is an essential aspect of #slowliving and #spiritualgrowth. When we take the time to appreciate and #connectwithnature, we can experience a deep sense of #peace and #wellbeing. We can also work to reduce our impact on the earth, creating a more #sustainable and fulfilling way of living.

By incorporating nature into our spiritual practices, we can deepen our connection to the Divine and the world around us. Whether we choose to meditate outdoors, practice yoga in a natural setting, or simply spend time in nature, we can benefit greatly from living in harmony with the natural world.
