Just as the unexamined life is a life poorly lived. No life is complete without some effort to connect with the deeper meaning of our existence. Whether we are jewish, Buddhist, Christian, or a non- believer, when we as seekers begin to reconnect more deeply with our spiritual centers we begin to achieve a greater realization of the profound wisdom and the intuitive awareness that is a natural part of each of us. This kind spirituality allows us to naturally recognize the inseparability of self and other. We gain the wisdom to see the relationship between the whole and its many parts. The more we cultivate our spirituality the more we become sensitive to what those around us see and feel. Cultivating a heightened spritual discernment and awareness helps us become a more kinder, caring type of person.
Peace and love

Life is about relationships. The relationship we have with ourselves, with each other, as well as the connection to that which is beyond any of us yet immanent in each of us. When our relationships are good we feel good. When they are bad we feel awful. Life would be so much easier if we all just accepted that we need each other. We need to feel connected; we need to feel each other’s presence and love.
I was reading an article the other day that stated that ancient scriptures in India say that we are all part of a universal web of light. All in one and one in all. We are never disconnected from a whole. I believe that. Nonetheless there are tmes where I feel disconnected from this knowledge. I just lose sight of where I belong and experience intense feelings of loneliness, alienation, and confusion. When I allow myself to feel what I need to feel in that moment, I am able to work through it, I become centered, and I get back on my spiritual journey of discovering who I am. We are all connected.
Peace and love

I feel appreciation is vital for living well, but appreciation is not a basic emotion like happiness or sadness so practicing it is our best way to show it.. When we do not show appreciation we disconnect from those around us.
Appreciating people proactively for their good qualities and who they are as well as reactively for when a person has done something for us is key to having successful relationships. Letting someone you love know who they are is important to you can make a big difference. Be honest about how you feel. There is never a better time than now, so just speak from the heart and go for it. I have a very close family. In every area we all are very close. We are a family that is not scared to show emotion, or be honest with one another. This way of being has carried over to my personal relationships with my close circle of friends. I try to never let an oppportunity pass, where if I feel something I say it, I show it. It makes me feel good to be this forthcoming, and honest and I hope that it makes the receiver feel just as good or even better.
Speaking from the heart, being honest, showing appreciation can make all the difference.
Peace and love.
