We are living in times where intensity is growing and as it grows so does the importance of the sacred. These times are providing an opportunity to wake up or open up to a new awareness; a new consciousness for many.

Sacred living is an awakening to the interconnectedness of all life, the spirit of life, Gaia, God, Spirit, Soul, Universe that flows through all, a oneness.

I see sacred living as a respect and reverence for all. It is a willingness to look for the beauty and oneness within all. It is through separation that we have judgment, anger, wars and disharmony. Whether it is between organizations, families or within ourselves, it is through the unrest that often causes one to go seeking, asking questions, and wanting resolve.

Sacred living then grants compassion, grace, forgiveness and love.

As you embrace the possibility of the sacred it provides a richness to life; a much deeper and more fulfilling life. I like to call it a “juiciness to life,” just like eating a fresh piece of juicy fruit, it can awaken the tastebuds, sensations as the juice rolls down your chin and the laughter begins as you try to catch the juice with your tongue.

Nurturing the sacred begins with being willing to acknowledge the interconnectedness, nature if full of it, from the ocean tides, blossoming flowers, the moon and the sky, to the seasons in each year, and the cycles of life.

There are a variety of ways to incorporate sacredness into each day. From waking up and saying thanks, taking a few minutes each morning to yourself to honor the divine within and around you, lighting incense or a candle or playing music. All are inviting spirit to be a part of it. As you make a habit of doing this you will notice greater focus and the day will become more purposeful and life changes.

In practicing awareness and being aware of your thoughts, are they kind and creating connection or judging and creating separation and disharmony, which can lead to illness? Be willing to honor grace, forgive and find compassion into every moment. Each moment is a new opportunity.

I would love to hear what you do to invite the sacredness into each day and how you nurture it.
