Nothing makes me more joyful than spending the entire day doing yard work. I get so sweaty and the breeze cools me. I always treat my yard like it is getting a spa day! The sun makes everything take on a glimmer. At the end of the day I am bone tired but reluctant to go back inside where the hustle bustle consumes me again. I think more clearly for days afterwards and find myself in a constant state of longing for that soul communion with nature. Feed the birds, thank the earthworms and wiggle your toes into the grass and put your fingers deep into dirt and help things grow. It brings balance to my world.

Say a prayer before eating a meal. I grew up with this one:
Thank you for the food we eat, thank you for the world so sweet, thank you for the birds that sing, thank you God for everything

Everything I use is basically Earth Based, the herbs, oils, water I drink. I thank the Earth and Sun and Wind on a regular basis.

Kami you are so dear! As you were speaking I was thinking how miraculous it is to step outside into the garden, in the very early morning at sunrise, inhale deeply, and give thanks for all that surrounds me. Thank you for reminding me of all that we receive, every day, unasked for!

I was raised on a farm, and I love the earth and all she gives. I had a suggestion given the other day. Take a minute and think of everything you are thankful for, then get on your knees and pray. I suddenly realized I had never thanked God for all the different colors he gives us. The flora and Fawna, the birds, insects etc. God has truly given us a beautiful world. ‘AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE is something that helps us be healthy and happy.

This morning, a friend gave me a tour of their garden while it was sprinkling rain. Although one part of me wanted to just burn with jealousy at their beautiful space (I am currently living with my in-laws and have no space of my own), another part of me couldn’t help but be enchanted by the shape of the leaves on the watermelon vine, the beautiful flowering okra, the scent of the mint, the peppery bite of a shiso leaf, the tickle and freshness of the rain drops. I know that earth medicine helped guide me away from a negative headspace this morning. I give thanks for that!

At the end of the day, when I take a shower, the water always feels so healing, especially so if I am using a scrub too. I always give thanks to the water, for all the healing that she gives me. I always pray in the shower, for some strange reason, it feels soothing to say prayers to the water as it flows by.

The earth heal me is when I get up in the morning, and go outside to pick up some fresh herbs to make some healing tea.
