Connection with 48 Natural Contemplations

Charmaine Coimbra combines ecology and spirituality in a seamless way that will allow readers to see the natural world through her eyes - eyes that are especially attuned to the healing power and peace of nature. With an obvious concern for preserving the beauty and balance of our world’s ecosystems, the author invites readers to envision themselves as part of the world around them that both needs conservation and can provide restoration for those who seek it. The author has done a lot of work to understand the scientific foundation of the issues she explores in each section, and there’s a lot of straightforward knowledge to be gleaned here. The meditations and contemplations also provide actionable steps to integrate the newfound awareness her essays seek to bring to readers. From Writer’s Digest.**********Life’s frenzy yanks us away from nature’s calming elements. This book offers 48 moments of contemplation and meditation that follows a review of our links to nature. It is meant to help us walk in peace and respect regardless of our faith or belief system. I have borrowed the knowledge of scientists, quoted poets and writers, and share the wisdom of academics, philosophers, mystics, and the ancients to connect what I know about our seas to life, our trees to strength, our deserts to vision, and our homes to compassion, and all four elements to each other. I encourage you to find quiet moments and discover these outer links to personal inner peace, wisdom, and health.
