DAY 7 OF SOUL FAST: EMBRACING NATURE’S BEAUTY AND OVERCOMING JEALOUSY

BY BRIAN MATAMBO

TODAY BE GRATEFUL FOR:

NATURE: Focus on the beauty and peace that nature offers.

TODAY’S FAST FROM:

JEALOUSY: Aim to let go of jealousy.

As we journey into Day 7 of our soul fasting, let’s turn our attention to the splendour and tranquillity of nature. At the same time, we’ll work on releasing feelings of jealousy, which can hinder our ability to appreciate our unique paths and the natural beauty around us.

MEDITATION FOCUS FOR GRATITUDE: NATURE

Today, focus on the beauty and peace that nature offers. Whether it’s a sunrise, the sound of birds, the rustle of leaves, or the vastness of the ocean, take time to appreciate these natural wonders. Reflect on how nature’s simplicity and serenity can bring joy and calmness into our lives.

MEDITATION FOCUS FOR FASTING: JEALOUSY

As we immerse ourselves in nature’s beauty, let’s also aim to let go of jealousy. Jealousy often arises from comparing our journey with others. Today, whenever feelings of envy or discontent surface, acknowledge them, and then remind yourself of your unique strengths and achievements. Replace jealousy with appreciation for your own journey and the natural beauty that surrounds you.

PRACTICE FOR THE DAY

Spend time in nature, whether it’s a walk in the park, sitting in a garden, or simply observing the sky from your window. As you do so, consciously absorb the tranquillity and beauty around you. If feelings of jealousy arise during the day, gently acknowledge them and shift your focus to something in your life or in nature that you are grateful for.

Day 7 is about finding peace and contentment in the natural world and within us, learning to appreciate our unique paths without falling into the trap of jealousy. As we move through the day, let nature’s beauty inspire us and remind us of the abundance in our lives and the world.
