De-Westernising The Head

So, I go into nature to relax, unwind..not to switch off, but rather to detune..and then to switch on to something else. I have observed the relaxation process once alone in nature, and it is quite revealing..I call it the 'de-westernisation' of the head. In the silence and embrace of nature i can observe the initial 'monkey mind'..the chattering away, the masks, the tensions, the defences..even so far as the surface 'sub personalities' which i obviously use throughout my day in the world of my work and everyday stuff such as driving and buying petrol and the like.These pop up,layer after layer..and i have learned to simply observe them, then let them go...i used to try and analyse them, understand them, but that done years ago, i bypass all that and let them go, like clouds passing across the sky..a form of meditation i guess.There comes a point, where a stillness is reached..at this stage i feel a 'blending' taking place between me and the natural world..i feel a part of the energy around me and i sit like this, in a state of 'no mind' for as long as i feel the need.There is no need for thoughts, it is a blending, a relaxing, a healing..it allows the western wires to unplug, and plug into something far greater. As i leave the place and return to the fray, i hope to take some of the natural medicine with me, in my energy, my outlook, my aura..maybe i do, maybe i don't...but whether i do or not..it is a medicine i need...
