With all the work we are doing on the planet and on
ourselves to reach a greater spiritual awareness, it is very easy to loose
touch with our roots, our physical body.
After all we are living in a physical plane of existence and
it is essential to remain grounded and connected to the Earth - especially now
- fully aware of our bodies and it's cycles.
As Anodea Judith said:
"To loose our connection with the body is to become spiritually
homeless. Without an anchor we float
aimlessly, battered by the winds and waves of life."
We are not only made up of stars and the material of the
Universe but of the Earth, the elements that form all of life on this
planet. It is this connection to the
Earth that enables us to feel a sense of belonging on the physical level while
we seek a greater sense of belonging to the Universe; to Spirit.
Society makes us believe we need many possessions to satisfy
our survival instincts on this planet. In
fact it is often the pursuit of these superfluous possessions which cause much
of the strife in our lives; not to mention the depletion of limited natural
resources; the suffering of many animals and humans and the creation of ever
increasing levels of pollution and waste.
Indeed, it seems that the more we strive for greater materialism
the less we feel in control of our own survival.
It is high time we took stock of our lives and acknowledged
that we need less of everything. Each
and every one of us are here; living this life now. Our basic survival requires food for health
and growth; shelter and clothing for protection - all of which are abundantly
available on this planet. We need to
connect more fully to Mother Earth; our fellow humans and all life which shares
our Earthly home with us and begin to live together as a whole community not as
fractured individuals trying to outdo and control one another. We have the power within each of us to feel a
sense of belonging; of contentment; of peace and happiness if we can set aside
our greed, our mistrust of others, our fear and start thinking of all life as a
symbiotic community; not feeding OFF of each other but feeding, nurturing and
taking care OF each other.
Plant your feet firmly on Mother Earth; sense and feel the
connection to her and through her to every other living being on the
planet. Feel her pulse and tune your
heart into it!
Namasté
