| | | | Dear friend,
Is play only for children? Can adults benefit from play? If so, can play benefit us so much that it brings great joy into our lives and changes our world forever?
Joseph Bharat Cornell, author of Deep Nature Play—winner of three international book awards—said:
Play is an amazing human experience. When we play, all of ourselves is committed, and we feel intensively alive and alert. There is a sense of exhilaration and wholeness the children experience when they play because play is inner directed and self-rewarding.
In deep play there is a sense of timelessness, of being in the present moment, there is a diminished sense of self and we are one with the focus of our play. That experience teaches us and opens us up to new realities and discoveries.
Through "deep play" we experience things that we have not known or experienced before.
I wrote Deep Nature Play because I wanted to help all of us to regain that childlike spirit, so that our world can be filled with wonder and magic. One of the best ways of letting nature be the teacher is through immersive play because you are one with the focus of your play.
And when that focus is nature, then you have a growing and profound experience with that aspect of nature.
We invite you to discover the wonder and magic of "deep nature play" as Joseph described above.

When our consciousness is expanded, we can understand nature much more profoundly. Not only can this book deepen our relationship with nature, it also can help us find inner peace, experience deep and lasting joy, transcend limitations, and, ultimately, commune with the Divine.
Bonus #5: Three Sharing Nature Games (Videos): “Camera,” “Sound Map,” and “Meet a Tree”
These exceptional games are from Bharat’s popular online course. They are ideal for parents, but can also be modified for individuals.

You will understand and experience the miracle of “deep nature play.”
