Hi norral,
I've had some interesting experiences with nature that began a few years ago. And i know what you mean about the vividness of nature, and walking into an area that feels very interconnected, or an area that is being cared for by the nature spirits. I've experienced that many times.
About three years ago I was on a retreat with a woman who works in clearing energy of the earth, for example in polluted areas or areas of denser energy. It took place in Hastings-on-the Hudson in NY. It was a great experience for me.
At one point we entered a garden area behind a restaurant on the river. We were talking about spaces in nature, and how there are elemental "gatekeepers" that protect the entry way to certain areas. She explained this, and asked us to each give a gift and be reverent as we entered a particular space. When each of us walked through the "gate" we heard a bell ring to our surprise. It was cool because we all heard it as each of us walked through (4 of us).
Shortly after that retreat I experienced what can be called a spiritual emergence, or "spiritual awakening". When this was going on Gaia and nature were really giving me lots of signs. This was in the summer of 2008. One day a storm was coming up. My husband called me outside to see a rainbow. When I went outside, there was a red cardinal on the step right in front of us and I looked up just in time to see lightning flash across the rainbow, as the wind was beginning to whip up. I caught my breath at the beauty!
Have you ever seen the end of a rainbow? Well around that time I was in the backyard with my husband and daughter. It was one of those summer evening storms where there were a few storm clouds and sunshine, and pockets of rainfall. A rainbow appeared and landed right in the middle of our backyard!
One night we were out back and a red fox walked across the yard and then an owl landed right by a tree...we hear the owls but never saw them touch down before.
In the fall of that year something interesting happened..I love my heavenly blue morning glory vine . I had been eating some seeds to see what would happen (just a few 16-20). I walked by the plant a few days later, and I felt a puff of energy, which I would describe as an energetic "hello".
These are a few things that have happened in recent years. I do feel connection to Gaia and got a message recently that she has been guiding me these recent years through some tough experiences. I am working on developing the connection more, I will be taking a class starting Friday night this week, which I am really looking forward to! I will keep you posted.
