Staying Connected Keeps Us Balanced and in Harmony with Our World When we think of the Earth, we picture in our minds the view of a beautiful blue and green world from space. But this view leaves us separated from the Earth, when in reality we are an intricate part of the ecosystem. Our connection to the Earth and those around us is what brings harmony and balance to our world. Harmony and Balance In order to live in harmony and have balance, we must find a way to connect with the world around us. Eating an organic diet, connecting with each other, making eye contact, and finding ways to eliminate what is unnatural from our daily lives are all part of living a balanced life. Living harmoniously with ourselves and each other, brings life to our surroundings and contributes to keeping a connection with the Earth. This life flows into our relationships and connects us with each other and ourselves. Be Kind to Yourself Take a moment to appreciate who you are, all that you are. It’s just as important to connect with our inner selves as it is to connect with our surroundings. Appreciating everything that makes us a part of our environment can help us to see others as parts of the same whole. Everyone we come in contact with, whether in passing or on a personal level, is on a journey of discovery. We are all works of art on an unfinished canvas. By being patient with our own faults and not finding fault in others, we maintain harmony, balance, and our connections to each other. Make Your Grass Green Your environment is whatever you make it. When you woke this morning,did you feel a connection with the morning sun, or disjointed by the burdens of the coming day? We cannot control every aspect of our lives, and at times this makes us feel disconnected. Feeling disconnected takes away our harmony and balance. But we can change how we see ourselves and we can change how we see others. You can make your grass green in your own pasture and invite others in. Keeping a positive mindset helps us to maintain our connections and stay grounded. Integrity, honesty, generosity, and kindness are all ways to make your own grass green. The trick is to find ways to connect and stay connected. Finding Ways to Connect We can connect with others by simple acts of kindness and even unseen good deeds. Simply holding a door open for someone may bring healing to a broken heart and restore their harmony. Maybe you bake bread – while you are freezing some for your family, it wouldn’t hurt to offer a loaf to your neighbor. Smile at your elders, give a nod to a passing driver, or simply go outside and feel the grass on your bare feet. Give thanks in your heart for another day navigated. Live without regret. Notice the flora and fauna and find ways to enrich your world by living as purely as possible. Take a deep breath, sit in silence, and listen to the life around you. By feeling the natural connection you have with the Earth, you will find balance and harmony. Applications and Resources
