Yes. Very enjoyable. My sentiments, exactly. I spent this morning harvesting flower seeds from some Rocky Mountain wild flowers I planted three year ago. Then I got on my knees and pulled weeds and cleared a border along the driveway and furrowed out the ground and planted the seeds. I often commune with the seeds and the earth when I plant something. It is a primitive feeling I have of the necessity of giving thanks for the abundance of every seed. I will touch a recently planted tree or shrub or garden plant and express my love for its beauty and fruit.

Recently, I applied my EFT training on our dog, Slice (The orange one). She has always been extremely fearful of fireworks and lightning and thunder. We were have a good thunderstorm the other evening. I brought them in and she assumed her panicked nature of hyperventilating, shivering as if she were freezing and generally scared out of her wits. I sat down next to her and held her head still with one hand and gently tapped on the top and back of her head with the other. within minutes, she stopped all her vibrations, looked up at me, then lay down on the rug and went to sleep. Thunder and lightning went on unnoticed by her.

I have used this technique with birds that have collided with one of our windows and otherwise usually expire. A hummingbird did this out on our patio a while back. I swore it was gone, kaput. But I picked it up and stroked its back and tapped on its head and spoke to it. I told it that even though it did not see the window, it would be alright and it was loved. I then placed its still, inert little body on the top of a fence post on the patio. I went back to reading my book out there. A few minutes later, it stirred, turned and looked at me, then stood up and looked around and then buzzed out of there. It came back and hung around whenever I would be outside and let me know he was doing just fine.

Thanks for sharing this excerpt.

Priscilla, based on this first chapter, you’ve written a very radical but important book. I can’t thank you enough. I’ve had my own experiences with nature, so I can appreciate what you’re saying. The implications of us being part of nature are scary, of course, as climate change starts to unravel that fabric. My only hope is that enough people read your book and take your message seriously. Thank you again, and I’ll hope for amazing success for you.
