Namaste Beautiful, Amazing, Unique You!
I wish You, from the depths of my Heart, happy new moments and wonderful connections!
Let’s make this year fulfilling with integral interactions, honest humour and sensitivity to our reality.
INTEGRAL INTERACTION & CONNECTION
Integrity and that sense of fulfilling certainty in the goodness of life, comes when we embrace the totality of our selves and our reality; the great, bad and utterly ghastly. To clear the fields aftrer the rain, so the warmth of the sun can awaken the potential creative power of life within us.
To start this year off I’ve created a short video to help us do just that, slowly, but surely
Lightening the Heart – a 10min RAIN meditation
Holding space for difficult emotions and uncomfortable feelings can be intense, even painful. RAIN stands for – Recognise Accept Investigate Nurture. A framework to allow ourselves to explore the discomfort, while letting it move through us.
And us through it. Helping us have a circle of influence, realigning with our power, to investigate and nurture our true self again.
CRITICAL THINKING & REALITY SENSITIVITY
Personally, the last two years have hollowed me out as I’ve tried my best to stay uplifted, motivated and moving forward as a mother, seeker, entrepreneur and honest human being. The constant changes and demands and losses, socially, financially, spiritually have drained me on many levels. Though not as badly as a burnout.
While research points to the facts that C19 is here to stay; endemic1 and those of us under age 65, without anxiety and chronic conditions 2such as diabetes3, are safe from hospitalisation and longterm effects of covid, questions about the continual rabid push to vaccinate, and ostricize unvaccinated, is warrented.
The huge wealth distribution toward big tech and pharma in these last two years, is till now, only felt by low income families and small businesses. Those wealthy enough to not feel the pressure and are not incentivised to demand or seek answers to questions they do not yet perceive or feel.
Censorship of critical voices of vaccination safety and effectiveness, especially when considering children, has led many scientists and medical professionals to be ridiculed, threatened and silenced. This should raise everyone’s eyebrows. Still many stick their heads in the sand due to feeling unable to influence the situation.
Yet if each of us uses what little or big influence we have, we can co-create a world worth living in.
DI-VISION LEADS TO DIS-EASE
I personally think it’s only wise, healthy and necessary to ask questions, probe and find out what is really relevant when health and wellbeing of the population is at stake. In context of all the facts, taking in account the mental wellbeing of the younger population, and life years lost to the stress in feelings of hopelessness and no prospects or perspective anymore.
Persecution, persuasion and bribed by authorities, division sows seeds of fear, anger and resentment increasing our cortisol, adreneline and cytokines’ associated inflammation. Chronic inflammation leads to hormonal imbalance, increasing likelihood of chronic conditions; autoimmunity, diabetes, addictive behaviour as we try to ineffectively self-regulate, creating a viscious cycle of biorhythm disfunction and dis-ease.
People who are reasonably healthy are now being undermined from many sources. Putting more people at risk for chronic conditions.
Both the context of lacking social connection and the healthy hormones promoted from feeling happy in the presence with another feeling human being, as well as taking away the benefits of physical activity, future options, heap ontop of this the stress of future debt, division and disinformation from the governing bodies of countries, are huge burdens for us to bear, especially our young!!
Ministre comes from the Latin to be of service. Meaning governmental ministers; payed by people’s taxes, are servants of the people. Yet tax money has been syphoned to the biggest tech and pharma companies, who in turn keep us glued to screens preventing health even further. Why are governments not acting on these facts? And they have been sent copious documents by many professors and concerned bodies.
Why disseminate information that predisoposes us to dis-ease, is my main concern.
CREATIVITY THROUGH CURIOSITY
I’ve been reading books to get perspective and come to terms with what is actually going on globally;
21 Lessons for the 21th Century- Yuval Noah Harari
Society 4.0- Bob de Wit
7 and a Half Lessons About the Brain- Lisa Feldman Barrett
The Genetic Lottery, Why DNA Matters for Social Equality – Kathryn Paige
and find ways of living that are sustainable and enjoyable.
According to Lisa Feldman Barrett, our society, national borders and global state cries, are just social realities we’ve created. And as long as we believe their shadows to be real we can’t see the light that is already all around us and within each single, special being.
Bob de Wit likes to think we can go glocal, meaning global and local, decentralising power back to invested people in their own communities.
Yuval Harari paints a very vivid, bleak future, as well as options that could put to use tech and science to communal benefit. Kathryn’s work points out how science can help activate more inherent equality through nurturing the right aspects of ourselves.
All point to our common responsibility. Each and everyone of us.
HONEST HUMOUR
So, there’s not a lot to be done. I mean we only need to find more creative, caring and connected (truly connected) ways of growing, working, paying, living and playing. Co-create economies that uphold balance for healthy societies, environment and power dynamics.
No big deal.
Maybe no deals.
Or maybe, many honest deals, everyday, with ourselves and each other. Again and again and again.
All COVID points to is our inherent power and responsibility to co-create and no longer wait!
We’re being asked to see the roses as well as the thorns, the soil, the consequences of planting too early, too much, not enough, or manipulating because we desire control.
Life is chaos. Beauty lies in the uniqueness of mistakes, which is also the birth of creation and the breath of inspiration.
Life and the new is birthed, ushered in with love and dedicated attention, not made by science or tech.
As a mother, seeker, entrepreneur and honest human being, with fears and hopes, I invite you to reach out, so that we can together create a world of caring connections, creative ways to support and uplift each other with ideas and insights to how we can move forward in harmony and common-unity.
Much Love,
Shira
