Simply sit there quietly without any other distractions for 15 minutes to half an hour, and watch the world unfold around you, letting nature speak to you.<\/p>\n<p>This practice opens our hearts and deepens our connection to Gaia, allowing us to see the world as alive and vibrant, not just a backdrop to a busy life. You will find that your perceptions will begin to slowly change, your awareness extending outside of your body with a new found sensitivity with the natural world around you.<\/p>\n<p>We find our power by developing a partnership, friendship, and relationship with nature. This not only grounds and balances our relationship with ourselves, but also with our family, loved ones, friends, and community.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;Look deep, deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.&#8221; &#8211; Albert Einstein<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;When a man moves away from nature his heart becomes hard.&#8221; &#8211; Lakota Sioux<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Everyday Goddessing\u00a0 is about     sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful     Goddess women.
