Nature is our greatest teacher!

It is almost a requirement of psilocybin itself for us to get out in nature. If you didn’t hear the call to nature from psilocybin, you weren’t listening (by the way, I’m kidding about you not listening). . .Psilocybin frequently demands we spend time in nature; often we don’t find the time.

Exercise:

Part 1 
Spend some time this week in nature. At least 20 minutes. Slowly take your time to observe the intricacies of nature. While observing all of natures surroundings, find the one object within that stands out to you.

Study its every detail. Explore its life journey, its functions, purpose, strengths, limitations, beauty, etc. Once you have taken the time to observe it in full answer the following questions:

1. How is this object in nature just like you? or you just like it?

2. What is it about the object in nature that is a mirror reflection of you?

3. What lesson can you take from this object in nature?
