Weekly Contemplations to Ignite the Soul
No. 3: Interconnectedness
Understanding the concept of the interconnectedness of the universe is for most of us a huge shift in perspective— the idea that we are intrinsically connected to everyone and everything and not the leading actor experiencing the main event in the play of life. You may accept this intellectually, but how do you feel it in your heart and experience it as reality?
“When you have gained knowledge and wisdom as well
When You can feel one with the whole universe
When you’ve found the Self and in Self found delight
Then you will be free, though you live still on earth”
Spiritual Practice

When you have completed your practice of meditation and as you step out into your life be very aware of the world around you. Listen, see, smell and feel your environment.
Step outside and connect with the sky, the earth, the plants and trees.
Energetically breath the essence of nature into your pores.
This week, as you interact with others, make an effort to be 100% present with them remembering that the Self and Light that you experience within pervades the entire universe and is within every being.
