Ritual to connect with nature

Materials:

• 4 candles (green for Earth, blue for Water, red for Fire, yellow for Air)
• A bowl of pure water
• Natural crystals or stones (optional)
• Natural incense (sage, cedar, or pine)
• A natural object that speaks to you (leaf, flower, stone...)

Ritual preparation:

1. Choose a quiet place in nature - a garden, forest, or peaceful park
2. Arrange the candles in a circle according to the cardinal points
3. Place the water bowl and other natural objects in the center

The ritual:

1. Begin by sitting comfortably and taking several deep breaths
2. Light the incense and candles in order: East (Air), South (Fire), West (Water), North (Earth)

Invocation (to be spoken softly):

"I come in peace and with respect
Nature Spirits, I greet you
May the elements welcome and guide me
In this sacred communion"

Meditation:

• Keep your eyes half-closed
• Feel the earth beneath you
• Listen to the natural sounds around you
• Feel the wind on your skin
• Focus on your connection with each element

To conclude:

1. Express your gratitude silently or aloud
2. Extinguish the candles in reverse order of lighting
3. Leave a small natural offering (seeds, fruits...)

Important notes:

• Always respect natural places
• Leave no trace
• Use only natural and biodegradable materials
• Practice this ritual with sincerity and respect
