PERFUME, MUSIC AND BOOKS FOR AN ENLIGHTENED AND HEALTHY HUMANITY
If I didn’t have the spiritual practices my elders taught me, I wouldn’t have survived the trials life has given me. Spiritual practice is also the path to higher human evolution, distinguishing us from the other beings who share the planet with us. Although we believe that all beings have a spiritual practice, the only being who approaches it consciously and voluntarily is the human being.
This is really a surprising and very interesting book. The correspondence between the animal totems and the plant world is of great interest to herbalists and those who work with the animal spirits in their healing modalities.
To be true. To be yourself. Not putting on a mask to meet social conventions and dictates. Being able to escape norms to affirm the truth. Having the courage that gives us people like Julien Assange and his work in Wikileaks, Nelson Mandela and the liberation of the people of South Africa, Jesus Christ and the redemption of his followers.
I’ve always felt responsible based on my understanding of the world. I found a similar phrase in the Cherokee Code of Good Conduct, whose spirituality forms my basic practice. It says, “If you see something that needs to be done, do it”. What’s implied here is doing it now, not waiting until tomorrow for what can be done today.
It’s summer! The garden and forest love this hot, humid weather. The plant growth is visible day by day. I’ve beautiful and abundant wild flowers growing everywhere on my small family domain. They’ve come uninvited, yet their beauty is welcome.
As plants are growing at their peak in these days leading up to the summer solstice, and my domain is bursting with vitality and lush greenery, I’m noticing plants growing without my having sown them.
One of the basic principles of human existence and happiness here on earth is love and family. The modern world has taken its toll on the circumstances in which families evolve, but this continues to be one of the fundamental values of most human beings. One of the most complicated challenges facing us in our societies today, is finding the right partner to start a family.
One of my passions in life is understanding health and healing and assisting others in knowing how they can access their optimal health potential. Really simple things can be done on a daily basis to work towards optimal health.
My thoughts today turn to love. A topic in which I have very little expertise, except on the universal and unconditional level of my work as a spiritual healer.
