Hey there,
It’s Eric Thompson here….
Tapping away at my keyboard, sitting amidst the greenery of my backyard.
Today, I want to share something that’s been on my mind lately: eco-spirituality.
Let’s dive in.
From Cityscapes to Landscapes
My passport’s got stamps from all over…
Bustling cities with skyscrapers scratching the heavens…
Ancient ruins with tales of yore…
And everything in between.
But lately…
I have to admit that my compass needle’s been swinging towards the greener sides of the map.
Why the shift?
Well, friends, it’s all thanks to diving headfirst into the world of eco-spirituality.
Let me explain further.
What's Eco-Spirituality Anyway?
Now, you might be wondering, “What in the world is eco-spirituality, Eric?”
Well, pull up a seat, grab a cup of something warm (or cold, I don’t judge)…
And let me spill the beans.
Eco-spirituality, in its simplest form, is about reconnecting.
It’s about remembering that we’re not just passing through this planet.
We’re a living, breathing part of it.
It’s the whisper of the wind through the trees…
The rhythm of the ocean waves…
And the silent dance of the stars above.
It’s recognizing that everything around us is alive…
Pulsating with energy and spirit.
Now, I know it might sound a bit out there…
Like something a hippie might have dreamed up during a sit-in.
But, stick with me.
This isn’t about dropping out of society or living off-grid…
(Though, more power to you if that’s your jam).
It’s about finding balance in our lives and honoring our connection to the Earth in every choice we make.
Eco-spirituality isn’t just for those moments when you’re out hugging trees or meditating on a mountaintop…
(Though, again, totally cool if that’s your thing).
It’s in the little things…
The way you choose to commute, what you eat…
How you dispose of your waste…
And even in the quiet moments you spend in your backyard or local park.
It’s about making conscious choices that reflect respect and love for this beautiful planet of ours.
Why Should You Care?
So, why am I so hung up on this?
Because, my friends, it’s changed the game for me.
It’s transformed how I live my life…
How I view my role in the cosmos…
And yes, it’s even impacted my health.
Specifically, that tiny but mighty gland nestled in our brains: the pineal gland.
The Pineal Gland: Our Inner Nature Guide
Located deep in our brains is the pineal gland…
I’ve talked about this tiny pea-sized organ many times before.
But let’s not forget that it’s our spiritual antenna.
It’s sensitive to the cycles of light and dark…
And plays a key role in regulating our sleep, mood, and even our sense of spiritual connection.
But our modern, artificial-light-drenched lives can throw it off balance.
Stepping into nature is like giving your pineal gland a much-needed tune-up.
Natural sunlight resets our biological clocks…
While the tranquility of green spaces lowers stress…
And lets our inner antenna pick up the cosmic frequencies more clearly.
In short, eco-spirituality isn’t just good for the soul.
It’s science-backed wellness for the pineal gland.
Living the Eco-Spiritual Life
So, how do you jump on this eco-spiritual bandwagon?
It’s easier than you think:
Chase the Sun: Start your day with a sunrise or end it with a sunset. It’s nature’s way of telling your pineal gland, “Hey, it’s time to sync up!”
Go Green: Literally. Fill your spaces with plants, eat more leafy greens, and get your hands dirty with some gardening. It’s good for you and the planet.
Digital Detox: Give your eyes (and your pineal gland) a break from screens. More star-gazing, less scroll-gazing.
Why It All Matters
Eco-spirituality has been a game-changer for me.
I sleep better, feel more connected to the universe…
And even my morning meditations have gone up a notch.
And the best part?
It’s a journey that never really ends.
There’s always more to learn, more to explore…
And more ways to deepen our connection with the natural world.
