Uphill walk to gather stones for the forest shelter | Surroundings of where I live

First up, is a wonderful inspiring post by @fenngen, where he takes us for a walk with him, so that he can gather natural materials for his handmade shelter. Along the way, he also points out some of the medicinal plants that grow in the area and how his way of life has really thrived since living this way.

One of the most beautiful things of living in Nature and building from what it provides is walking towards the places where material gathering is done. During those walks is when I remember the most why I'm doing this, what it is I want to contribute to, and what I wish to leave in this planet when my mortal frame returns to the soil.

Importance of Listening to Your Feelings - A Story From My Life

Next up, is another wonderful post, this time from @jasonliberty, where he shares a recent event in his life that reminded him how important it is to listen to your gut feeling, to follow your instincts when it comes to making decisions in your life. That how life provides for you when you are connected to self and open to receiving.

it is a testament to how quickly new opportunities can present themselves, particularly when we are open to them, and I think that is a lesson most of us could use learning several times over before it really sinks into our minds that all of life is endless opportunities for growth and expansion and exploration, and when we are willing to follow our heart, those opportunities truly are limited only by our own minds and the limited thoughts and beliefs about life and ourselves that lie within.

Yoga Challenge | Come and Join

This week, @moonyoga created and shared a 3 day Yoga challenge with us all, which was born out of the desire, to promote the health benefits of yoga and to find balance between our feminine and masculine energies.

From my Yoga journey, I realised that I naturally practice overusing masculine energy. I was too hard on myself to push myself by ignoring all pains and aches. Bringing in softness into my practice wasn't an option until the day I got injured. My dear teacher helped me acknowledge how my training was harming me more than doing good.

Who Are You Becoming?

In this post @officialuroga, digs deep, as he reflects on the person that he is becoming. Sharing a part of his life journey and really focusing on the attributes that will really help him become the best version of himself.

Am I becoming the man I have always imagined myself to be or am I just stuck in one place still figuring out who I am? Well, the answer is yes, I'm slowly becoming the man I have always envisioned myself to be, the process is very slow and tough but I am achieving something each day in my life.

[ENG-ESP] What is Mindful Walking? Come into the fields with me | ¿Qué es el caminar consciente? Pasead por los campos conmigo

@yidneth takes us on a beautiful journey through mindfulness in this post. She shares how mindful walking has helped her to overcome some of the obstacles in her life, whilst deepening her connection with the natural world. Whilst also sharing some of her music. which is medicine in itself.

I started to feel signs to make me understand that my reality is mine, this world is "mine" it's my perception of it. The same way the world is unique to you, your own perception. It's not about being self-centered, but about the grandiosity of our uniqueness in perception.
