on be•ing Human

Stripping back from our 'normalised' ways of living, re•turning to our innate nature is one of The most power•full & essential things we can do as people living today. We are living in times of exponential crises; it is obvious that the ways in which we are living & contributing is not in harmony. Living in harmony would mean that our heal(th) & the Earth would be prospering, our hearts would feel full & we would be living in a state of deep connection to Self, the Collective & the Earth. The sad thing is so few of us have gotten to taste this innate beauty.

Many of us are becoming increasingly aware of the unsustainable ways we are living ~ even before the outbreak of Covid we could see that our Capitalistic structure & ways of living were destructing our physical & emotional heal(th) whilst taking the Earth with it. This gives us great insight to the deep inter relatedness of the body & Earth. Take this as a harmonious example ~ imagine a world full of healthy people, living lives in alignment & purpose.. now imagine the treatment & state of the Earth & our world community with this form of lifestyle.

The ways in which we are currently living is with an emphasis on the mind. This mind focused way of living has not been serving for a long time & is harmful to all ~ even those of us who do not realise it. As Humans living on this planet we need connection, connection to the Earth, to our Spirit & to living with purpose & be•ing of service ~ a holistic way of living. So many of us are feeling empty & drained, we feel as though there is something wrong with us when we are feeling this way as our culture is so focused on a constant striving to be the best many of us hide our pain; leaving us all feeling isolated & alone. We consistently see reinforcement of ideals of 'luxury', particular idealised views of wealth, beauty & peak potential. This focus is causing immense suffering & disconnect to what it is to be Human. To be wild, to enjoy this Earth without worrying how you look, or what you do.

It is time for us to return to the beauty of be•ing Human. Time for us to realise & use our innate power wisely.

Take a moment to meditate on the question ~

What does it mean to be Human?

It is 'normalised' though not normal in Western culture to not know how to create many of the resources we need for living. A power•full example of this is that the majority of us have no idea how to grow food, let alone to know the source of our food. The danger here is that many of us do not question the source of our food & products. We can take this concept through most things in our lives where we have be•come consumers rather than creators. Interestingly this has a profound effect on us; it makes us feel incapable on a subconscious level. Our media also reinforces this sense of incapability with a message of 'not enoughness' furthering our need to 'buy' our way out of this sense of lack of Self & Sovereignty within.

Practice:

Choose something to DIY, it could be to cook a meal you have always wanted to, to grow some herbs or veg, to paint for fun not to be 'good' at it, to make your own jewellery, clothes, even a product such as your washing powder or deodorant.

This simple practice ignites a HUGE feeling of Em•power•ment. It reminds you of the creator within ~ it brings a sense of flow through you, reminding you of your Godly nature. Furthermore it helps you to understand the importance of the process & ingredients of the food we eat & products we buy. To question where they come from & whether the process harms or creates harmony.

Of course for any areas where it is not possible for us to DIY, it is beautiful & extreeeeemely rewarding to support a local maker or grower who is working in harmony with the Collective & Land. When we start to consume in this way we really start to understand what true abundance & connection with the Self, Collective & Earth feels like.

with Love.
