Here are some ways I’ve found to keep myself in balance and uplift
my spirit amidst the difficulties of today’s world:
Spend silent time each week in nature, as the
nature kingdoms are already aligned with Spirit and new energy, and so
can be very healing
Make daily contact with the elements—water, air,
earth and fire: take a shower or swim, sit in front of an open fire or
candle, put your hands in the earth, let the wind blow caress your body
Meditate daily to experience the joy of your soul
and to receive inner guidance for your life
Energize your body daily with regular walks,
exercises and/or yoga
Bring more color into your home and your clothing
to uplift your energy
Play music regularly that inspires your spirit
Dance often to free your body and open your heart
Eat healthy, organic foods to care for your body,
the temple of your spirit
Step into other realities and identify with other
people’s lives by watching good films or reading uplifting novels
Stimulate and expand your mind by exploring new
ideas at conferences and seminars
Travel frequently to break out of your habitual
patterns and appreciate other cultures
Create a support group of good friends to share
your joys and sorrows
Learn conflict resolution techniques to create
more harmony in your life
Take in only small dosages of the news—print news
is less emotionally draining than television or radio
