Spiritual healing in Southern Africa

African tribes commune with their ancestors and depend on the divination, guidance and herbal products of the sangoma, shaman or witch doctor for improving their well-being. Their relationship with nature, however, is key to health and happiness. Nature heals Studies prove that there is a healing power to nature, with the big outdoors providing a calm, green, unspoilt environment. By taking time out to sit beside a tinkling stream, smell the scent of wildflowers or hike in the solitude of the mountains, people are able to relax and enhance their overall security, comfort and happiness. South Africa has vast, peaceful stretches of wilderness that are virtually untouched by development. National parks, game reserves, secluded beaches and the dry desert zones of the Kalahari and Karoo all offer diverse and unique natural environments ideal for spiritual healing. With no bright city lights, noise or air pollution, it is possible to escape the bustle of modern-day existence by going in to these peaceful, tranquil areas. You will discover stress, difficulties and worries pale into insignificance when compared to synergy and restorative qualities of nature. Introspection Meditation is a process of cleaning the mind of clutter in an effort to achieve heightened inner peace and relaxation. No tools or aids are required and people can mediate at any time and in any place. There are no hard and fast rules on how to meditate. It can involve sitting quietly and listening to your breath, a chant or simply to the birds singing outside. If done properly, meditation can achieve a more relaxed state of consciousness.
