It's the Economy's Fault

Every day you hear of people losing their jobs, homes, stuff... everything that represents safety and security in our culture. The collective consciousness right now has a lot fear.

While you may or may not be directly affected by this current turmoil, you can still get caught up in it in a subconscious way.

One way we do this is by eating, drinking, smoking... over-consuming more than usual. I'm hearing less and less people say they REALLY want to stop. Actually, I see people carrying on more openly than usual and making excuses for it.
What's the going on?

It's not ALL in your mind. It's in your body too!

The mind-body collaboration becomes very obvious during times like this... high stress, fear, and uncertainty. It's a great opportunity to tune in quietly and ask "why am I harming my self right now". If you're truly tuned in, you will get an answer in the form of an image, a movie or a feeling. If you come up blank, you can learn more here.

For me... I feel a greater need to stay grounded and focused on my goals. There's an energy that wants to pull to me to dark side... only means I have to work a little harder on my daily practice.

What are you doing right now to cope with these changing times? Looking back within the past year, do you feel you're treating your body better, worse, or the same? I'd love to hear about it.
