Stand Outside During a Storm

Stand Outside During a Storm

The naturalist John Muir used to lash himself to immense Douglas Fir trees up in the Sierra Nevada so that he could feel the full force of the storms. Oh, to be drenched to the bone by pouring rain, to be lashed by wind, to be rocked by the bending of a two-hundred foot tall tree as it is blown by gale-force winds. Deep nature awareness connection expert Jon Young talks about the eight attributes of connection, one of which is vitality. Vitality is the aliveness, the energy coursing through the body. Connecting with the force, the vital intensity of nature is one way to connect with our own vital force. We are more resilient, more capable, more replete with energy and resource than we can imagine. You don't need a video about how to do this. Just go stand outside somewhere during a storm (please don't stand under something that could fall on you.). Ask yourself why we come indoors when it gets wet out. Why not run into the street and turn our faces up into the rain?
