Wisdom from a Humble Jellyfish

And Other Self-Care Rituals from Nature

De: Rani Shah

Narrado por: Soneela Nankani

A delightful guide to harnessing the rhythms of nature for self-care.

We could all learn a thing or two about living in balance from our friends in the plant and animal kingdom.

Take, for example, the jellyfish, one of the most energy-efficient animals in the world, moving through the ocean by contracting and relaxing, with frequent breaks in between.

Or the avocado tree, which can credit its existence to a mutually beneficial relationship with the prehistoric sloth, followed by some hungry, hungry humans and the advent of agriculture.

And then there is the oyster, producing a pearl as the result of an immune response when a grain of sand invades her system. What better example exists of how adversity can produce something beautiful?

We need look no farther than nature - from the habits of the porcupine to the sunflower to the wombat to the dragonfly - for small and simple things we can do to slow down, recharge, and living more thoughtfully, lovingly, and harmoniously.

Wisdom from a Humble Jellyfish...is at once charming and scientific, packed with essential wisdom and practical tips worth borrowing from our plant and animal friends for life-changing self-care.

Heartwarming and amazing

Rani Shah is a thoughtful mature deeply introspective author who cares not only about humankind but also about all the flora and fauna and the earth itself.
Her style is delightful while being full of the fascinating and amazing facts. She draws parallels from nature that each of us can apply to our own lives to live a richer fuller life with a more zen attitude.
I look forward to more works from her.
