Have you ever thought about the healing power of birds? I love watching birds, but I had never thought of them as healing medicine until I met Tammah Watts.

Tammah is a licensed therapist, birding enthusiast, and the author of the new book from Hay House - Keep Looking Up! Your Guide to the Powerful Healing of Birdwatching. In her new book, Tammah shares not only the healing power birds offer us when we give ourselves permission to observe them as a source of wisdom, but she weaves her personal story of overcoming her physical, neurological, and mental health challenges. She also offers practical information, and journal prompts that activate connection to ourselves.

Tammah knew that she needed to seek and accept hope, love, and support to overcome her chronic pain and cultivate resilience. But she could not have predicted that a little yellow bird would put her on the path to healing by fostering a powerful connection with birds and the experience of birding.

We begin our conversation with the question: How is birding a spiritual practice?
