Cozy Healing With Nature
We live in a world of extremes and instant gratification. As a society we are looking for the next big thing. Healing is no exception. Here in America, we are the land of BIG. Big government. Big economy. Big spending. Big Pharma. Big business. Big everything. We also are always looking for the next big thing. Big does not often mean better. Plus, focusing on the next big thing leads our society to ignore the good that has been present all along.
Many people around the world have been taken through the emotional ringer for the past two years as mankind seemingly is going through its collective dark night of the soul. There is no quick fix to emotional healing. The world will not instantly be better with the wave of a magic wand. Nobody is going to save us. Instead, we must save ourselves and nature is here to help. Slow and steady wins the race. In fact, emotional healing takes a lifetime because we, as humans, are always growing, being challenged, and learning. That is what being human is all about.
Healing with nature is not about looking to other people to help heal you. The only guru for this healing path is yourself. Healing with nature is using nature to augment your natural healing ability. The first rule in healing should be do no harm. Nature is here to help treat the disease, not the symptoms. One of the biggest diseases of our time is disconnection and over reliance on systems outside of our control.
It’s time to bring back cozy.
Cozy is Healing
It may be hard to think of cozy as healing, but cozy is exactly what our world needs right now. We need to be comforted. We need to feel at ease. Cozy is not big. Cozy is small and brings us back to ourselves. Cozy is a place that belongs to us. A place we can heal from, instead of constantly being barraged with things that give trauma. Cozy is stepping away from this fast paced, trauma filled world. Cozy is comfortable.
Once we have separated ourselves from our traumas, we can heal. Of course, cozy alone may not heal. Nature is here to help.
Nature is Healing
Humans have been healing with nature since the dawn of mankind. Modern humans just need to remember how. A lot of European based herbal medicine knowledge has unfortunately been lost through the centuries. But not all cultures have erased their herbal history. The famous herbalist Rosemary Gladstar mentions this. She says that is why so many herbal longevity formulas contain mostly Chinese herbs. Western herbalism also stands heavily on the knowledge shared with us from Indigenous cultures.
Yarrow, for when you need protection and are overstimulated.
Place based nature healing is extremely potent. The herbs and nature you are surrounded with will heal. There is often no reason to look elsewhere. The desert is just as healing as the forest. The mountains are just as healing as the plains. In fact, the particular illnesses an environment gives always has a cure nearby.
Flower essences are a particularly cozy type of healing that works with a plant’s vibration. Mossygoat Farm started healing with flower essences due to their gentleness. Flower essences are nature’s healing at its finest and are the exact healing that humans need now. Simple. Slow. Small. Local. This is not to say that flower essences cannot give instant relief because they can, and they do so without side effects. Simple cozy healing with nature.
