Four Connections

Your body is fashioned out of the same materials as the earth - carbon, water, oxygen, calcium and so on.  Sometimes living in our technology-saturated world, with its cars, computers, phones and pressures can disconnect us from our essential elements.  Spending time in the earth literally revives your body and spirit.  It connects us to actual reality (as opposed to  virtual reality).  It easily and  naturally builds the body, clears the mind and soothes the soul.

Many people grew up in a religion or family that framed their concept of God.  But each person at some point needs to connect to their own internal spirituality - to find God for themselves - "The God of my understanding" as the 12-step program defines it.   Connecting to Heaven is one of the fundamentals of healing, and allows for growth beyond what you can do alone.  It also provides a structure for finding meaning, mission and purpose in life.

It's surprising how many of us don't actually recognize what we are feeling or thinking - or even when we're hungry!  Yet we feel and think the same things over and over again - in patterns that we can change and heal if we know what they are.  Learning to connect with the self - listening to the body, listening to the emotions, and the needs of the soul allows movement towards joy, peace, and health.

Connecting to others is one of the basic needs of humanity, but it can also be one of the most damaging and frustrating parts of life.  Learning how to connect in healthy, happy ways creates an environment of joy and love, which is the space in which everything and everyone grows best.
