The practice, the light and the joy of the elemental spirits
„It is a profound law, that all thoughts, feelings, and actions which we bring into creation,will breathe towards us again from creation.”
(Heinz Grill, „Der Archai und der Weg in die Berge“, Verlag für Schriften von Heinz Grill, 1999)

What a person doesn’t know is something they barely miss, because the familiar normality usually dominates their consciousness. Nevertheless, in each person there exists a longing – albeit very unconscious – for the quiet enchantment of nature, which has become so rare today and for which there is barely visualisation of.
The mysterious, idyllic and profoundly animated nature, whose image may have been portrayed in a fairy tale to us during childhood, seems to have disappeared. The world of the elemental spirits, which lives as a notion within many of these stories has often been associated with the virtues of people. Developing virtues and leaving insignificant things behind describes a principle of meaningful development.
Practising asanas to develop a deeper sense of the laws of life, to establish new, more objective feelings, to engage with spiritual content,as well as to encounter the person of Heinz Grill, changes people. The entire activity can be seen as a sacrifice that serves development.
And just as the ethical attitude of a person in a fairy tale, with their sacrifice for the sake of a greater ideal, makes the spirit of nature mild and favours them, so also does the practice in Naone positively affect the environment. The approach in this ecologoical project is not only based on a careful use of resources, it also promotes those almost forgotten, finer qualities in nature.
It counteracts alienation and in doing so a person releases forces that allow nature to breathe a sigh of relief, it relieves the burden of being perceived as merely material, and thus restores the essence that it carries within.
The morning light play on the “Undine Square,” created as a small watercourse with a wooden channels and stones, may illustrate one effect of the practice.
