A new way listening!

It was a spectacular day yesterday..and I was thrilled to be able to sit in my balcony... after over weeks ...with the windows wide open to see, feel and witness the nature outside. I was feeling enchanted by all the different birdsongs I heard around me - the rasping of the crows, fussing of the mynas and parrots, sweet chirping of sparrows and lonely cries of the eagles high above in the sky. 
As I tuned in to each sound of the birds, I realized that each type of bird's unique song was resonating with different parts of my body...funny...but seriously thats what I felt!  I could feel a sensation in my belly when the crows were busy conversing with the world. The sparrows directly were touching my heart...and the Eagles searching for their prey high up among the clouds were calling out to my dreams stirring in my dream chakras. 

I confess I have never consciously listened to the birds in this way before, inspite of having this opportunity many times before. Believe me I felt much more "whole" and "complete" since I wasnt listening only with my ears. 
By listening this way, I was experiencing the innate web of life intelligence of listening with my whole body and hence I was being much more present with my surroundings. 

While experiencing this enchanting feel I could instantly connect myself to the quote from Chang-Tzu ( a Taoist philosopher)...
  .."That which fills the universe I regard as my body and that which directs the universe I see as my own nature."

My half an hour of listening to the nature surrendering completely to it, has taught me that at any given moment, my experience of nature is as unlimited as my imagination.
I am so glad to realise that my every attraction to the nature is communicating directly to a part of me to wake it up, bring it into greater consciousness.

I am astounded by the new layers and levels of awareness and connection that can come from engaging in such activities.
And I am fortunate that each time I find a new layer, I find a new way of engaging with the spaces I find myself in...my ability of relating and understanding  expands, which in turn absolutely feeds my spirit! 
By tapping into the intelligence of my web of life connections, I am becoming more whole, more complete. 
I have placed this new way of listening to the world into the part of me...I trust most.

I dont have an answer if u ask me how this nature-connecting activity has helped my life in disorder. But it has helped me to convert my loneliness to solitude which I now enjoy the most!
