GOODNESS OF A HEALING FOREST

-
A FEELING FOREST


We always bring a tiny sapling for our backyard or garden, plant them, care for them, provide them water timely and manure just to  assure that they are getting proper nutrition and sunlight. But even after taking so much of care and  giving them protection they die sometimes and we just wonder what I did wrong. But have you ever wondered why even though no body is taking care of plants in forest how they manage to grow so thick, tall and healthy?? It's not like that someone sneak into the forest give them manure, water, prune them, remove weeds and everything. What we see in a Forest is 100% Natural.



Forest is a place where you will see each and everything perfectly balanced and from there we get this message that nature don't need our help....it just need SPACE. leave a bare land as it is and you can see what wonders it will do. We know that plant not just grow above the ground but below too "THE LONGER THE TREE THE DEEPER THE ROOTS".
 
 
We know what living things are " things which can move, breathe, talk, laugh are living things, and plants too are living things because they can breathe". But what about movement??? Yeah they can't move unless it is Groot ( Guardians of the Galaxy) or a keeper from Maleficent movie...but they do. They travel through their roots, they can't talk but they do have their own language for communication. So that's how they maintain there life in a forest. they go deeper and deeper in search of water, they communicate with neighboring trees through roots, they release chemical signals to aware other trees about stress any parasite or insect attacks, we call them "Phytoncide"which is also called Aroma of Forest.


I always call forest a place where I can heal myself. It doesn't matter if its a big or small forest or just a patch of plants...even you can call your garden a healing place because it's not about a particular place but the plants which can heal you. Different shades of colours, flowers , smell ,dirt everything helps me to calm my mind. Plants release the same Aroma when they detect stress in our minds same way they detect bacteria. And it's not just me it's everyone who are seeking relief, who want to rejuvenate it's for them too. 
Don't be shy, just go and stand in middle of the forest, open your arms, welcome cool breeze to hug you and kiss your face, let the water dew create an ocean of calmness in your mind, let the birds to be your earphones, let the leaves speak to you WELCOME HOME.

Naturalist eyes (Part 2)

Have you ever felt that adrenaline rush in your blood when you face that moment which you have been dreaming of????? It was an unforgettable memory for me, and I can say that images may get faint but not those memories. Even though I have never seen a tiger in the wild but have heard all kinds of stories. In my mind I was excited to see it on the next level but at the same time I was scared too. I had lots of questions in my mind, like what I’ll do if I see a Tiger like real one, what if it attacks, what if I’ll get afraid and want to go back, what will be my reaction, what will be my feeling, so many what if’s were running in my mind, and for which I need to face that situation so I can answer myself. At that point I didn’t want to hear anybody else’s experience…I wanted to experience it and answer it myself. All those questions feel childish now, but at that time that mixed feeling of happiness and being scared at the same time was different. I still remember it was 14th of October ...

Insect Mania

A NOTE TO WINGS...         What if I ask you a simple question...What is an Insect? What will be the first thing that comes to your mind?  What would be your answer? A creature with wings? An ugly creepy crawler? A nuisance creating insects? Mosquito? Butterflies? Just want to stay away from them? I don't like them?  It's a long list of answers when I generally ask someone about insects. During my Night walks where I basically take my guests in search of nocturnal insects, the first thing I ask is why you booked for this activity? Or are you interested in Insects? And the most common answer I get is NO...We just want to see them but from a distance. Have you ever tried to see the world from a different view? Like what it looks like from top of the tree or from ground? Or have you ever thought of spending most of your life inside a ball of leaf or in the mud. Well the question is have you ever tried to see the world from the ey...

Wood Wide Web

  Science behind the talking trees. Until now very few people have understood that apart from animals other living things can also communicate. Communication is not about language neither about ability to speak. Communication is a way to spread messages, it has many forms, and is used by every living species on earth in different ways. But now the debate is whether plants really communicate? Do they have a language of their own? Do they communicate just within the plant species or with other animals too? The Talking Tree Trees were always known for their ability to produce food, timber, and other beneficiary products for human uses. We always study them in the category of living things but treat them as non living. It is when we started studying about what exactly lying below was a huge secret of underworlds of trees. Hidden beneath the soil there is a labyrinth of millions of fungal connections within the roots. We call this network a wood-wide web. Earlier we focused on the proce...
