I’ve been working with nature more and more over the last 2 years. Nature is an intelligence, just as humans are an intelligence. Although I certainly knew nature had a level of intelligence because plants know how to grow and animals follow their instincts, the idea that nature has information that can personally help me live a happier life was new to me.
Janeen (my Feldenkrais instructor) is the one who introduced me to Machaelle Small Wright and her work with nature at her home and research center, Perelandra. I read Machaelle’s book, Behaving As If The God In All Life Mattered and loved it. That was the beginning of my learning about what nature has to offer us.
It was a couple years before I stepped into more interaction with nature. That option was waiting for me; it just took me awhile to get ready to move into it. I started the MAP program Machaelle offers when I had been dealing with extensive uterine bleeding for 2 years. I had been spending time being quiet and listening, knowing there was more information I needed to help stop the bleeding. Within 5 days of beginning the program the bleeding stopped and I have had no more problems with extensive bleeding.
Nature has information that humans don’t have. Most importantly, nature knows what is needed to create balance. Humans have shown clearly that they don’t know how to create balance, so a conscious partnership with nature is a way to get this information. I have become more and more excited about this co-creative partnership the more I have moved into it!!
When I began the MAP program, it was such a relief to feel I had a team to support me and provide information I didn’t have! I didn’t feel so alone. And nature supplied the information that was needed to stop the bleeding which I had not been able to access in any other way during my two year search.
After such wonderful success with the help of my MAP team, I began learning how to get nature’s help for a soil-less garden and by the end of summer (with my son’s agreement and input) had asked for their help with moving the Yuen business forward. There has been so much to learn, but it was something stable I could hang onto when there was other turmoil around me and I continued with steadfast commitment.
My excitement about working with nature is growing! The latest program I jumped into is the Microbial Balancing Program. I began the end of August because I was having trouble falling asleep at night. By balancing the microbes in my body, within a couple days I was falling asleep with no problem. Several times I have experienced a problem with this again, but as soon as I work with nature to balance the microbes in my body again, I fall asleep easily.
I’ve been using the MBP more and more. The most recent is for the extreme cold weather we have been experiencing the last few days (-11 was the coldest). I was worried about the plants in my garden being hurt or killed because we have no snow cover. I have lived in this area more than 30 years and I don’t remember having it this cold with no snow for protection of the plants. I remembered there is a section in the MBP manual for balancing microbes in land, water and air, so I went to that section and followed the directions.
My appreciation for nature is growing!! I have been doing a short balancing program for my body each night before I go to sleep for over a month now and I love it. I look forward to growing in my ability to be solid team member with nature in more and more areas of my life. If you have any interest from what I have said, I encourage you to investigate what Machaelle has to offer. It takes time to integrate it into your life, but it is well worth the effort! It has been life changing for me and for many other people.
Wonderful! Now that I am almost out of school, I too am going through my herbs and doing a renewed ‘meet and greet’ based on family and personality.
