It’s summer vacation! We’re swimming. We’re jumping off the dock. We’re playing volleyball. We’re surfing, water skiing, kayaking. It’s so fun, right? This is also a great time to connect with nature in summer.

When we come to the water and into the sun, we are healed by Mother Earth. The water helps you release. Your body moves, you get all the sun, and it’s incredibly healing.

Amongst all that amazing play, it’s almost like there are two different worlds happening…

On one hand, there are all the people going crazy paddle boarding, surf boarding, jet skiing. Everybody is going to the lakes and the mountains to have a blast and have as much fun as they can.

On the other hand, there’s the world of the water and the animals, the plants, the spirit of the rocks. You see the trees, fish, birds. It’s like there are two separate worlds.

Connecting with nature in summer can be as simple as bringing those two worlds together.

Stop and Say Hello

A simple way we can connect with nature in summer is to stop for a moment. I’m all about the fun and love swimming on the lakes, but there’s a point where we can stop and take 10 or 15 minutes and say hello.

Just say hello to that pine tree. Say hello to that cloud. Put your hands on that rock or tree and say hello. Slow your vibe down and try to bring yourself a little bit slower to the resonance of the sand or the birds.

One thing I do when we’re hiking to get someplace is to stop. We stop long enough until the birds come back and then we just watch and listen to the birds.

Take a moment to join those two worlds of your fun summer vacation and say hello to where you are and the earth healing you.

Connect with Water

Another way to connect with nature in summer is to say hello to the water, whether it’s the river, the lake, or the ocean. It can be so simple. You can just do it in your mind with your thoughts or you can make a little song.

Here’s one super simple song that you can do. When you sing this song five or six times, you start to see the matrix of the water. You start to slow down and feel the water a little bit more.

Hello, water. Hello, water. Hello, water.
Hello, hello.
Hello, water. Hello, water. Hello, water.
Hello, hello.

If you can sing that five or six times, it slows down your thought process. Your nervous system relaxes, and you start to feel more resonant with the frequency of the earth.

So, if you are getting out this summer and playing in the water, it’s just so good to stop and say hello. Really say hello to that water and connect.

That’s one simple way you can connect with nature in summer and hook up your summer vacation with where you are as you become more aware of the earth.
