The Healing Power of God in Nature: Can You Feel It? | Meridian Magazine

Plants and animals can be physically and spiritually energizing to us.  In Moses 3:9, it states, “And out of the ground made I, the Lord God, to grow every tree, naturally,…and it became also a living soul..”  Anything “living” can enliven us with its spiritual resonance, if we learn how to tune in.
Have you ever spent time focusing on a tree?    As we CONCENTRATE on the many facets of a tree, we can get so absorbed in the beauty and energy of it that for those moments, time seems to stand still, and we stop thinking about our past or future. We begin to feel a one-ness instead with the tree and its creator.
Gaze at the light and shadow on the leaves.  How many colors and textures can you discern on the bark?  Many times, I have caught myself weeping with joy as I let go of my troubles and focused on a beautiful tree.
