Humans
are social beings. We are continually in relationship: with our selves,
our loved ones, our co-workers, friends and community at large and to
our connection with nature. The quality of our life depends on the quality
of our relationships.

Purposeful
Work
When
we are in the service of the body, we need
jobs and trade and sell our body energies.
We are educated to work for those who have control over material
existence and authority over our lives. We are owned. As part of
a mercenary society where
we are drugged into jobs and sell our liberty for money, our energy
is sapped by routine work and we settle into mediocrity. Self-survival
is deeply ingrained in our DNA and
has become synonymous with jobs, but it does not invoke a yearning
for the higher values of life. For generations upon generations
we have been deceived. We
have not been making right use of will, as we harbor ambition or
fear. Affluence without wisdom is self destructive. In the absence
of new awareness we remain what we are-self centered and fascinated
with accumulation and advantage. Living an artificial life we are
craving, competitive, unfulfilled and ever wanting more, yet we
fear a vested interest in the voice of our expression.
Creating
purposeful work is deeply connected to emotional and spiritual
wellbeing. When we love what we do we naturally generate enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is the highest level of energy we can experience, which
is felt when we discover our life’s passion, reason
of being or mission on this planet; express
our creative urge; and of course when we live and follow
our soul's urge according to its divine blueprint. Enthusiasm is
infectious that draws us
continually closer to the realization of ourselves as divine.
This realization is
strongly related to our attitudes about our work
that entails the actualization of our dreams.
Discovering our passion
is the first step towards excitement, enthusiasm
and satisfaction.
Healing
Alignment: Exercise your creative urge for mastery of expression
of the good, the beautiful and the true.
1-
Prepare and make use of your gifts, skills and talents in order
to gain purpose, happiness and enrichment in your life.
2- Commit to making your purposeful work into
a total lifestyle that is satisfying and rewarding.

Wellness
Our relationship to the collective
Building
and maintaining positive relationships is one of the most important
elements in a healthy lifestyle. By strengthening our relationships,
we also strengthen ourselves because when we feel better about
ourselves we are more willing to open ourselves to new relationships
and experiences.
To create right community
based partnerships there must be unity with or community
by clearing the disunity patterns at the cause of discord in the
dance of life. The aberrations of society always reflect individual
states of mind and together these form the social dis-eases that
plague us. Individually, we each contribute to the collective
malaise when divisive orientations and fractured thinking within
the psyche are not processed.
Dr. Wendy L. Watson states in her book Rock Solid Relationship,
"if we have been hurt in a relationship, we often gather
an arsenal of weapons, thinking they will protect our hearts from
further damage. But ironically, such weapons can injure us in
addition to those we are defending against. These weapons of war
are thoughts, feelings, and behaviors such as harsh judgments,
jealousies, and sarcasm that keep us feeling separate, isolated,
and lonely. If you are unable to find love and peace and joy in
your relationships, could it be you are carrying around thoughts
that wound love? feelings that bruise peace? actions that kill
you?"
These weapons prevent us from forming the healthy relationships
we need in our lives. If we are willing to open ourselves to others
and communicate, we will be able to develop relationships in any
environment that we are positioned. Since communication is at
the core of our relationships with others it paves the way for
unification.
Communication is reflected in our countenance. We must be careful
not only what we communicate, but also how we do so. Souls can
be strengthened or shattered by the message and the manner in
which we communicate. Having integrity in word and action is essential
as is honoring the opinions and feelings of others that we may
not share.
Healing Alignment:
Unity
starts with self and extends to relationships and
in community with
others. "As within, so Without!"
1-Form strong unifying bonds on
a community level.
2-Relate well and authentically to others,
both within and outside the family unit.
3-Act with ease and confidence to be outgoing,
friendly, and affectionate toward others.
4-Develop a genuine concern for other individuals,
as well as an interest in humanity and the environment as a whole.

| Environmental
Wellness
The
quality of today's environment has a direct effect on personal wellness.
To enjoy environmental wellness, we require clean air, pure water,
quality food, adequate shelter, satisfactory work conditions, personal
safety, and healthy relationships. Environmental
wellness or eco-psychology
is about living symbiotically with nature with concern towards how
our energy output affects the entire ecosystem of life. It involves
developing alternative resources to
oil in order to live in a clean and safe environment that is not
detrimental to our health and the Earth body.
Healing
Alignment: Preservation
consciousness in connection with nature. Engage with nature to commune
and absorb Earth's healing energies, thus keeping hte body in balance.
1-"Waste
not, want not" my Mother taught us. Think about where it's
all going to go. The landfills are overflowing.
2-Assist
in healing the Earth body. Eco-healings
are a common way to show our Earth Mother our apprectiaon and love
for her sustenance and foundational support for our lives that we
take for granted on a daily basis.
