      <description>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="tabcolumn-1" style="width: 100%; margin-bottom: 15px"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div id="column-1" usermodifiable="true" style="width: 100%"&gt;&lt;div id="ctrl-47896246"&gt;&lt;a href="#" rel="sw_lightbox" class="userlink"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.shamanism-wales.co.uk/blog/assets/0_0_0_0_250_177_csupload_42046831.jpg?u=634647297268759001" width="250" height="177" id="post-381417:ctrl-43882975" alt="" title="" style="float:left;height:177px;margin:0 1.5em 7px 0;width:250px;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In modern communities we have lost much of our connection to nature and Spirit, as we scurry to keep up with the materialistic demands of our complex lives. The Earth suffers as a result, and so do we. For the sake of our mental, physical and spiritual health, and the future of humankind and the Earth, it is essential that we reconnect with the natural world. We won’t carry on damaging something if we truly love and respect it. We are nature spirits too!&lt;br&gt;&amp;#160;In the springtime, everything starts to grow with vigour and high energy, and we go through a powerful and exciting time of renewal. It’s good to go out and connect with this energy, to harmonise yourself with the rhythm, to contemplate the developing projects and growth in your life. The Medicine Walk is a classic way to seek guidance and healing from the spirits of nature all around us, and it’s a simple thing that anyone can do wherever they are.&amp;#160; It can take as long as you have time for, and can be just as powerful in a city park as in a wild, isolated place. You might like to try this when you have a little time to spare...&lt;br&gt;Go outside. Set your intention clearly, what is it you are asking? Close your eyes and feel yourself connected with the Earth below, Sky above, and your heart within. Ask to connect with the spirits of nature on your walk, and respectfully send out the request for guidance and healing. Start to walk, following your intuition, being drawn wherever it takes you. Remain relaxed and open, walking in soft focus, feeling the energies and observing the elements, trees, rocks, animals, birds and insects around you. &lt;br&gt;Nature is everywhere, in the cloud formations, the movement of insects, the&amp;#160;call of a bird, the geometry of a flower. Everything is potentially a messenger from the nature realms - if you are meditative enough, you may even glimpse Devas and Fae folk amongst the plants! Guidance can come from anywhere, and there is a delightful feeling of joy, recognition, and connection when you receive it. You will know when you have finished. Give thanks to the beings who have helped you - you may like to leave a physical offering, but in practice your love and gratitude is what they feel and appreciate most!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
