Suggestion for steps to living lighter.

The ability to connect with nature in a really aware sense brings me joy. 

For me, it is like becoming part of this joyful energy flow. As if I am part of the water, the wind, the snow and the sunrise.

I think little children live in this state all the time because this is how they grow naturally.

Besides descriptions of being in the flow, in the zone, Oneness, gods, mythical spirits, etc, one search result that came up was the poem "Tao Te Ching" by the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, written some 2500+ years ago. 

This poem is fascinating to me and perhaps it can be of value to you too.
​
The bottom line of this poem is to remind people to live life with simplicity, patience and compassion. 

Tao Te Ching
Verse 67:
"I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
​
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
​
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
​
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world."
