Discover why Caring for Nature is as Spiritual as Meditating
This reflection is closely related to a Psychosocial Ecology proposal since it seeks to link serving and protecting nature, living beings, and different ecosystems, as a form of spiritual growth. Not only do we evolve by practicing meditation or spiritual exercises in a disciplined manner, which are surely also very important, but it is vital to connect positively with our nearby ecosystems to contribute the best of each other, in aspects that perhaps seem very ordinary or not very spiritual.
Volunteering to plant trees, rescuing street animals, doing solid waste collection days, helping the community to improve their quality of life, cleaning the beaches, everything adds up to improve our personal development and evolve as human beings to do this a more vital planet.
Being interested in developing spiritually is very good; however, the spiritual search is not free from the traps of the ego.
Frequently, in our binary mind, we think of things as perfect opposites, in such a way that there are things or activities that we consider spiritual and others that seem mundane to us. However, great spiritual teachers have emphasized that true spirituality is in how we approach mundane tasks on a daily basis.
