We often hear about the power of nature when images of strong winds tossing cars through the air show up on TV or a bad winter storm knocks out power lines. It reminds us that Nature will do its own thing and is a mighty force.
There’s another way to look at the “power” of nature, however, and that is its ability to help us connect with Source and our heart space, which is the center of our power.
Have you ever experienced feeling slightly down or sometimes, even just “off” a little and then you go outside and stand in the sun for a few minutes and suddenly, all is right with the world again? Or how about deciding to play in the rain or sitting quietly in the woods with nothing to hear but the sounds of a gentle breeze ruffling the leaves and birds calling to each other?
There is a power in nature that is healing and if you let it, can provide a positive shift in your energy. You have to take the time to be in the moment with nature, however. Why not try a little of that this week?

Whenever you feel you may be running out of faith that you can create the life you want to live, just remember the Law of Attraction.
Simply put, The LOA says that whatever you put out into the universe will be returned to you, and that the universe is simply 
responding to your vibrational level.
When you choose to believe in your dreams and have faith that certain things will happen for you, you set that intention in motion and the universe has to respond.
Have you ever noticed that certain people seem to be able to make things happen the way they want them to? They want to get a certain kind of job or live in a certain kind of house and then suddenly…they do!
Conversely, if you’re constantly talking about how things never go your way, they probably won’t.
The LOA says that like attracts like, and you’re simply getting what you’re sending in terms of positivity or negativity.
Don’t ever lose faith in yourself or in your ability to manifest your dreams. Set your intention, believe it will happen, make a decision to not waiver and watch what happens!

A woman once found herself watching a butterfly struggling to emerge from its cocoon. After several moments of silent observation, she felt sorry for the butterfly and decided to help it along. After she had gently pulled apart the cocoon, she sat back to watch the emergence of the beautiful creature.
You can imagine her dismay when the butterfly continued to struggle for several more minutes and then seemingly gave up. She waited and waited and finally, the butterfly emerged…with crippled legs and shriveled wings. In her kindness to help the butterfly with its struggle, she had denied it of its muscle-building power.
To have the strength and power needed to live its life, the butterfly also needed the struggle of the emerging process. Struggle was what made its wings and legs strong and without it, the butterfly wasn’t as strong as it could have been.
Are you tired of your struggle and the discomfort of your ‘growth opportunities’? Just remember the butterfly. Your struggle builds your muscles, and makes you strong. The struggle builds your inner fiber, and helps empower you.

Got relationships? Most of us are surrounded by people every day but do you have at least a couple of people with whom you have a relationship?
It’s been a well-known fact that people who have a healthy support system of relationships with other people are happier, less stressed and are better able to handle the challenges of life.
Why is that? As humans, we are designed to be in relationship: it’s just the way we were created. It is a fact that relationships are also found consistently throughout the animal kingdom. Living creatures need each other for support and survival.
In our modern day society, one of the greatest impediments to maintaining healthy relationships is the lack of time, or more accurately, not making the time to create, nurture and grow them.
Don’t get so busy that you forget to take time for your relationships. As the old adage goes, no one on their death bed has ever wished they’d spent more time working!

Stress is a normal part of life and “good stress” can be a motivator. However, you never want to have stress take over your life so much that it starts to cause health problems.
Studies have shown that stress has terrible effects on your physical health so make sure to take time to engage in activities that will bring your stress level down.
It doesn’t have to be anything complicated or even take a significant amount of time to do. Doing simple things such as sitting quietly and just being aware of your heartbeat and breath for as little as ten minutes will have a calming effect.
Feeling too “punchy” to be calm? Try doing some kind of physical activity you find fun. Dance, play a sport, go for a run or walk. Physical play is a great way to combat stress.
Whether you feel the need to get calm or burn off some steam, the important thing is to just do it. Often when we’re feeling stressed, the last thing we want to do is engage in some of these activities. Try to do it anyway. You’ll feel much better afterwards and your future health depends on it!
