Today's Inspiration
by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com
The focus for today's inspiration is:
Water and air connect me to everything and everyone.
On this planet we call home, we are connected in a very physical sense by water and air. These two forces of Nature are in constant circulation on and above Planet Earth. Sometimes they are peaceful, as in gentle rain and soft breezes, and at other times they are tumultuous, as in the case of torrential rain and hurricanes. Yet in either situation they can help create connection.
Sitting meditatively by a gentle stream one feels the connection with the All. And, conversely, after disasters caused by these powerful forces of Nature, we see humanity coming together to help each other and increasing our sense of connection and neighborly love.
It is time for us to return to a sense of connection... first by accepting that we are all "the same" and that we not only share the same water and air but we also share the same concerns and needs. The more we can see and feel our connection to the All, which includes humans, animals and Nature, the more we will be in harmony with Life itself and find our path clearly marked to create a life of love and harmony for all, here on Planet Earth.

Restorative Practices of Wellbeing
by Natureza Gabriel Kram.
In this pioneering volume, connection phenomenologist Gabriel Kram addresses two fundamental practical questions: how do we address the trauma and disconnection endemic to the modern world, and how do we turn on the Connection System? This book maps a novel approach to the creation of wellbeing informed by the most cutting-edge science, and the most ancient of awareness practices. It teaches over 300 restorative practices of wellbeing to connect with Self, Others, and the Living World.
For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood, grown up with a sense that there is something missing in the modern world, or yearns for deeper connection with Self, Others, or the Living World, this book provides a map to a (r)evolutionary approach to wellbeing so ancient it hasn't been invented yet.
