Sometimes we have to Disconnect... to Connect. w/Ram Das

We have all been there. Disconnected. Checked out. Overwhelmed. This world has a long list of stresses that can pull you from your path. What do you do to reconnect? To recharge?
I have found Nature to be my "go to" when these feelings come up. The place where everything just makes sense. Falls into place. Anxiety and depression melt away. Clarity settles in. I have found I am a much better person to be around when I return from some "Nature therapy". Yep, its my personal therapist.
If you can relate then I would invite you to spend some outdoors. There are so many options. Any of them will do. Reconnect. Remember.
Let me know in the comments what you do to Reconnect.
Ram Das was an American professor. After a life changing trip to India, he changed courses and became more of guru of yoga, and meditation. His 1971 best seller "Be Here Now" helped popularize Eastern spirituality and yoga in the West.

    Another great video with a timely message. Really something I needed to hear today, and a message most people don't realize they need to hear. I see so many people, myself included, just turning into zombies. The daily grind, work stress, instant gratification, relationship drama, ... Easy to forget that sometimes ya just gotta walk away. Smell the damm pines. Get dirty. Get wet or cold or sunburned. Get that natural connection back.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you in these beautiful spaces. I know what it has done for us, and I would love to see so many more people feel the same benefits of spending time in the outdoors.

    Disconnect to connect💓. We lose sight so easily with all the chaos of day to day life and nature brings us back to our path. The video is fantastic. Keep up the amazing work and reminding us of what is important in life.

    I have loved seeing what Nature has done for you personally. To get away from cell service has been such a treat. Not having all the distractions allows us to focus on whats really important.

    I love this video, I especially loved hearing your voice, bringing us this clear inspiration. Ram Dass’s voice is equally and wonderfully emotive. You feel the connection with his husky voice juxtaposed with the back drop of jaw dropping beauty that is our world. Thank you Hoku for sharing this message for us all. Keep ‘em coming!

    Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it and "get it". I now know where I get it from. The need to get my hands in the dirt and Connect.... or to carry a TV to the top of a mountain🤣

    Nice video, very calming! How was it btw to carry around your screen 😅 , However, the idea of the video in the screen (2:43) in the middle of the video was a great and fancy idea, really liked it! Not to mention the masking frame by frame! Nice work, keep 'em coming!

    Oh God, I passed one lady, and she asked why am I carrying a solar panel?! Only a fellow video creator would understand the masking nightmare that was🤣 its not perfect, but I think I got the point across. It was fun to pull this one off. From the idea, to the finished product was very satisfying. Thanks for checking it out!🙌
