"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished" ~ Lao Tzu ~
At a first glance this quote almost sounds a little contradictory. In nature there is no stress, no effort, no worry... and still everything solves itself without any effort!?
When we bring the beautiful wisdom of Lao Tzu´s words to a deeper level, we find that the contrast is lurking between Mankind and Nature, and not within the quote itself. We are so caught up with the increasing speed of information and turbulence of energies surrounding us, that we have lost our contact with the natural and simple way to let life take its course.
According to National Health Interview Survey; "75% of the general population experiences at least "some stress" every two weeks."
The good news is that we can easily tap back into our natural state of Being. And even better... We can step out of our environmental spinning wheel of stressing "noise", without any need to isolate ourselves in a remote cave high up in the mountains? The instant key to solve this is within our reach - here and now!
Nature is all around us, and the answers are always present to us.
Therefore, we can allow nature to teach us how to relieve our stress in the most natural way...
See the trees...The trees do not hurry or stress to grow, and there is no need to either remind or reward them to keep on growing. Trees grow in a flow and movement of life itself. All around us we see this motion of energies in growing and returning cycles. Life and death are constantly completing each other through these generating cycles of energetic Intelligence.
See the grass, or perhaps a field of barley moving in the wind... The straws bend back and forth or maybe around, in a soft movement by the wind. The plant does not question the wind, or the winds right to be blowing. Instead it follows in this dance without any resistance, and thereby it also keeps from breaking.
See the water in a stream... The water does not hurry or struggle to find its path. Neither does it question the path it takes. It always chooses the way that allows it to flow in accomplishment... the way of least resistance.
And see the animals... Animals do not stress or worry about tomorrow. Instead they are fully present in the moment of Now. In this state of peaceful awareness, they are also always alert to act when action is required.
This is nature being in no hurry, and still accomplishing all that IS!
Now you might wonder; How can this teach ME to relieve MY stress?
Here, I will share two effective ways to let life flow in accomplishment.
Warning: Do not be fooled by the simplicity of these methods. In fact - It is within the natural simplicity we see the most powerful transformations take place.
1. Take a Walk in Nature
- Walk in silence.
- Breathe deeply and open your senses to hear, to smell, to feel, to see.
- Bring in all the magic around you; the trees, the plants, the birds, the colours...
- Reflect the knowing that "Nature does not hurry..."
sense the harmony
sense the peace
- Reflect the knowing that "... yet everything is accomplished"
sense the unseen movement of activity
sense the alertness
sense the perfection
sense the completion of every moment, as it is.
- Be Grateful... Give thanks to Natures way of greeting and embracing you.

2. Sit or lie down - and do the same as above.~ Only this time you do it all in your vision.
- Close your eyes.
- Breathe deeply and open your senses to hear, to smell, to feel, to see.
- Imagine all the magic around you; the trees, the plants, the birds, the colours...
- Imagine "the Pulse of Nature", "the Heartbeat of Universe" that keeps everything flowing in an endless rhythm of energy.
- Reflect the knowing that "Nature does not hurry..."
sense the harmony
sense the peace
- Reflect the knowing that "... yet everything is accomplished"
sense the unseen movement of activity
sense the alertness
sense the perfection
sense the completion of every moment, as it is.
- Be Grateful... Give thanks to Natures way of greeting and embracing you.

What happens when we do this?
We automatically get reconnected to the pure Source of Intelligent Energy. At the same moment as we "open our senses" to Nature, we allow these energies to flow through us. The beautiful "challenge" is that we cant direct or operate the transformation within this energy with our minds...
My partner, Paul, and I have chosen to name this transformation; Nature O Wisdom. This is the pure vibration that has the Intellect to lead Itself. In this state, we are no longer a match to the vibrations of stress, worry, anxiety, frustration, anger... or fear.
Be like Nature, and everything is accomplished!
