 In a world dominated by technology and constant connectivity, it's easy to lose touch with our inner selves and the natural world around us. Yet, there's a powerful, often overlooked aspect of our being that can guide us through life's challenges and opportunities: our sixth sense. This intuitive ability, sometimes referred to as a "gut feeling" or "inner voice," can be a profound source of wisdom and insight. Women have long been regarded as having this gift, but our disconnect with the natural world has dulled this skill.
In this blog post, we'll explore how spending time in nature can help women develop and harness their sixth sense. The Power of Intuition Intuition is an innate ability that allows us to understand or know something without the need for conscious reasoning. It's that feeling you get when you just "know" something is right or wrong, even if you can't explain why. This sixth sense is a valuable tool that can help us make better decisions, navigate complex situations, and connect more deeply with ourselves and others. Nature: A Catalyst for Intuition Nature has a unique way of grounding us and helping us reconnect with our inner selves. When we immerse ourselves in the natural world, we can quiet the noise of everyday life and tune into our intuition. Here are a few ways nature can enhance our sixth sense:

The winter months can make it hard for us to get our greens in compared to summer when the outdoors is full of lush leaves on trees, green grass, and gardens bursting with flowering plants. All the more reason why people love to bring the outdoors in during this season by adding houseplants to their indoor spaces. Keeping plants alive inside can be challenging, even for those with a green thumb. Water too little or too much can result in a brown plant, depressing your indoor vibe rather than uplifting it. Too much sun can burn the leaves, and too little light may leave them weepy and sad. If this sounds like your houseplant experience or your fears of taking on the role of plant parent, fear not; here are three plants that even those with a black thumb or negligent plant parenting can grow. Dracaena trifasciata aka “Mother-in-Law Tongue”  Dracaena trifasciata, commonly known as Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law's Tongue, is a popular houseplant known for its striking, upright, sword-like leaves with green and yellow variegation. This hardy plant is incredibly low-maintenance, making it ideal for beginners. It thrives in indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions. Watering should be infrequent, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Snake Plants prefer well-draining soil and can benefit from occasional fertilization during the growing season. With its air-purifying qualities and resilience, Dracaena trifasciata is a perfect addition to any indoor space. Zanzibar Gem aka “ZZ Plant”  The Zanzibar Gem, also known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia or ZZ Plant, is a popular houseplant admired for its glossy, dark green leaves and robust nature. This low-maintenance plant thrives in low to bright indirect light and can tolerate periods of neglect, making it ideal for busy individuals or those new to plant care. I left one of these plants alone in a dark room without care for three months, and it survived! The ZZ Plant prefers well-draining soil and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. It is also known for its air-purifying qualities, adding beauty and health benefits to any indoor space. Clivia  Clivia, also known as Clivia miniata or Kaffir Lily, is a striking houseplant admired for its vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of orange, red, and yellow. This plant features dark green, strap-like leaves that add a touch of elegance to any indoor space. It is so easy to grow that each of our family members has offspring of the main plant my Father-in-Law grew in his office for years before he passed away! Clivia thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. During the growing season, a balanced liquid fertilizer can be applied monthly. Clivia benefits from a cool, dry winter rest period to encourage spring blooming. With its stunning flowers and easy care requirements, Clivia is a delightful addition to any plant collection.

 Do you have plans for the weekend or want something different to do? Something relaxing and restorative. Something that may help you feel less lonely and more connected, even stimulate some creative ideas that lie beneath your surface.
Here is a nature connection exercise that you can try. Imagine yourself in a tranquil corner of nature, where the only sounds are the soft rustling of leaves, the melodious chirping of birds, and the gentle flow of a nearby stream. No man-made sounds. No planes, trains, automobiles, shouting, music, or leaf blowers. Just pure, unadulterated tranquility. This space outside our doors may be more challenging to find than you think. Scientists and others are now searching for and documenting these man-free sound sanctuaries. If you decide to try it, go outside and search for the 'rawest' nature you can find. This is nature untouched by man, a rare and valuable experience. Pause, maybe sit comfortably in this space, and listen. What do you hear? Is it nature-made or man-made? Close your eyes and listen. Maybe take a few deep breaths to relax into the experience. How do the various sounds feel in your body? When you open your eyes, take a moment to reflect on this experience. If you have a pen and paper or a notes app, jot down what stirred within you during this exercise. This reflection is a vital part of the process, as it allows you to fully embrace and understand the impact of the nature connection exercise.
