Belonging
Posted on June 1st, 2010
“You cannot belong to anyone else until you belong to yourself.” Pearl Bailey
Down deep we all want to belong; to a family, a group, a community, and for many, a nation. As human beings, desiring a sense of belonging is most likely coded into our DNA in order to propagate the species. But as spiritual beings, we know we are whole in ourselves and connected to the oneness of life. From this perspective, belongingness just is.
Loneliness and a feeling of disconnection indicate a lack of connection to our spiritual selves and the Source of all life.

Moving into the present moment calms the mind calms and relaxes the body.
When we have all of our energy in the body and focus our mental attention in the present moment - into what’s happening here and now - we create balance. The body, mind and soul work together as a team and we step into the flow of life instead of going against it. We become energized and productive, yet relaxed and peaceful at the same time. From this place we have full access to our intuition and can listen to our inner voice for guidance. Read the rest of this entry »
