At a consciousness level, we all understand that life is a mystery, so we want to know more. We yearn to see, feel and touch the invisible things. Deep down, we recognize we’re more than our physical bodies. We want to experience our relationship with Nature and the Universe in a more profound way. We can feel we’re somehow part of something larger than ourselves.

Many people feel their connection to Nature’s changes—seasonal transitions, weather changes and so on—that form and re-form our planet. Many people experience their connection with the full moon or a snow storm making its way toward us from hundreds of miles away.

As human beings, we are far from being “finished.” What amazing gifts are within us that we haven’t tapped into yet?
