BE A TREE : Wisdom from a Female Shaman

BY GRANDDAUGHTER CROW

We often go into the Natural World for relaxation , connection , and peace . We may plan a weekend trip to a lake or into the mountains , maybe plan to have a picnic , or simply have a nice cup of coffee or tea in our backyard . The beauty of this is that we are relaxing , connecting , and finding peace . This is my perspective as to why we do this .

It is the wisdom of the natural world that we all experience , and we draw on it throughout the ages even if our minds don ’ t understand this – our body does .

I am a female medicine woman from the Navajo Nation . We are drawn to the natural world organically as it supports our health and wellbeing . Why ?
