“Go within everyday and find the inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out.” Katherine Dunham, anthropologist and dancer. My friends, may we give grace to one another. May we feel love and be set free, no longer trapped by the right and wrong of what we see. May we feel the ‘ripeness’ and have a deep knowing that it will be ok. Choose to be the difference. Choose to be kind. Choose to be brave in love. Look beyond the argument and see the person. Don’t we all want life to be good? Let us be united by love, not separated by ideologies.

We live with ubiquitous technology designed to constantly pull for our attention. But many scientists believe our brains were not made for this kind of information bombardment, and that it can lead to mental fatigue, overwhelm, and burnout, requiring “attention restoration” to get back to a normal, healthy state. Nature can restore depleted attention circuits, which can then help us be more open to creativity and problem-solving. #nature #natureheals

I fill my mind with high vibratory thoughts. I feel my body with appreciation.
I fill my soul with unlimited potential. I feel my heart as pure essence.
I fill my senses with beauty, I feel my eyes as love.
I fill my hopes with all the colors of the rainbow, I feel my way in the quiet, the dark, the deep, the wide expanse of no-thing.

It’s not too often in a lifetime that we find somebody who speaks so well to the heart of the matter that we feel like there may just be a simple answer to the complex problem of human existence. What you were about to hear is an early morning moment in time with #CharlesEisenstein on the gift of life and the artist within us all.

The explosive new energy of these days is undeniable, yet sometimes we may not feel it. That is normal, respect it. We are still in process and haven’t fully arrived. Thus, it’s good to have some positive thoughts to sustain during those darker moments. Below are some things from my journal that resonate with me and I hope they do you too.

Modern science is anywhere from 17-30 years ahead of current medical practices, this even includes the current medical textbooks. We are actually living in an archaic medical scenario. If something doesn’t work, cut it out. If your hurt, take a pill. If your numbers are off, take some more pills to get the numbers looking good. In the not too distant future this kind of medical practice will be viewed as we now view; blood letting with leeches and the sawing off of limbs on the fields of the US Civil War. Pills for ills will be part of the history books. It will be understood that just as our body produces endorphins that make us happy, it produces all the necessities that keep us well. Actually some experience this now. They recover from cancer and serious illnesses without chemo, drugs or IVs.

When you can clearly see the connection within all things and you see how beautifully and delicately you and your life weave into this enormous cosmic web, you can rest a little easier, feel a little safer, and have a lot more trust in yourself and your world. Because you begin to take on the awareness that it is you who is creating it, and simply with that awareness comes such a rush of empowerment that I can only describe as literally dancing with The Force itself.

A practice that can help. It is called the Four Directions of Love (thank you Becky Parks for adding the Love) and is based on indigenous practices of turning toward and honoring the four directions. Listen to quality mystical poetry such as Yaima.
