Birgit Rusche-Hecker invites us to look honestly within ourselves and to recognize, without embellishment, the discrepancy between reality and our desire for a life that is healthy and natural for us. She reminds us of who we truly are: natural beings. On the journey to our own naturalness, she draws our attention to the lack of awareness of ourselves and the world around us, gently guiding us towards a respectful and integral relationship with our Earth. She also demonstrates how we can establish a healthy symbiosis with other sentient beings and why our fellow creatures, the animals, are such important companions on this path. This return to the core of our being leads to a new existence in balance with Mother Nature and life—benefiting not only ourselves but also the animals and the Earth.
