Everyone is looking for happiness and connection
One of the shortest way is to live a wholesome life!
How to live a Wholesome Life ?
Meditation: By becoming aware of our breath and doing it consciously every day, no matter how long for! In doing this, you’ll be bringing awareness that you are not your thoughts but only a product of them… such a powerful practice.
Ceremonies: Celebrating rites of passage such as menarche (first menses), giving birth, (peri-)menopause, and important birthdays bring milestones and purpose to life.
Active lifestyle: Whether it’s a walk in nature, a gym session, an hour yoga or Pilates, or whatever sports and movement rocks your boat, do it daily! Keeping fit is essential and non-negotiable!
Herbal medicine: Supporting your immune system with plants can help you not getting sick and when your immune fails, have all your teas, herbs and plants ready to help you going through it. Integrative medicine is the way forward and when more conventional medicine is necessary, it is essential to know when the time is right and use it too.
When the mind is busy, our perspective of the world gets blurry and we can lose perspective of the whole picture. The monkey mind takes the driver’s seat and life can seem complicated when all we have to do is stop and remember that we are much more than just this body.
We are spirits having a human experience, not humans having a spiritual experience.
Meditation, chanting, yoga, tai-chi, as well as devotional practises can help us remember that our connection to what is greater than us is always accessible. By reconnecting to ourselves, we find greater purpose to our lives and deeper meaning to this human existence.
Time in Nature
Time in nature is also a express lane to relax, unplug, and reconnect.
We live in a busy world filled with noise, pollution and radiations. Making the conscious effort to take time out and spend time with Mother Earth will accelerate your wellbeing and optimise your mental health. Nothing like stepping out of the busy-ness of life to recentre and release the stress stored in your body. Laughing is also highly recommended as a daily dose!
Rites of passage were a way living for generations before they were suppressed and forgotten.
It is a birth right to celebrate milestones in one’s life and each celebration will bring more meaning and understanding of what it is like to grow up and become a healthy, respectful, and happy human.
In our society, we often celebrate important birthdays, weddings, and New Year’s Eves. Funerals are often seen as a tragedy, rather than a celebration of life. By reintegrating rites of passage such as Menarche (first menses), Blessing ways (meaningful baby showers), Birthday blessings, and Peri-Menopause, a woman’s life can feel entirely enriched by these experiences.
Every six weeks, we also have the opportunity to celebrate the Pagan festivals such as the solstices, equinoxes, and the sabats in between. These celebrations make sense as the Earth keeps turning and the seasons keep changing, so do we in our inner world and landscapes.
Life is a Miracle
Have you counted your blessings today?
It is so easy to focus on the so-called misfortunes that have happened in a day and the condition of the mind often stirs that way.
Count your blessings, each day, and each moment that is offered to you!
A gratitude diary is a great object to ad to your life and writing your morning pages is another way to meditate and get rid of the mental garbage that often clouds our minds.
To remind ourselves of the miracle of life itself and to shift our perceptions on all these events so we can see the bright side, but also learn our lessons along the way is crucial if we want to live our best life.
