Rediscovering the Sacred in a Fearful World
/
It is almost impossible to avoid the noise of fear, rage and greed in the world. It is coming at you fast and furious through radio, tv and social media.
You probably do not have the luxury to go into the wilderness to go off-grid. Many of us can not afford to go off social media because we rely on it to promote our businesses.
When under stress, you can be blind to the sacred. The good news is that the sacred is everywhere, and
you do not need to be part of any religion to experience awe.
What have you experienced as sacred? You may have experienced the holy in nature, music, art, creativity, play, religion, spirituality and more.
As you attune yourself to the sacred, you will experience it more and more in the ordinariness of life. You will have more moments of clarity recognizing something so ordinary is so extraordinary
So, what do you do?
Practice Gratitude:
We all have something to be thankful for. Maybe you are thankful for food, shelter, family, friends, plumbing, a healthy body and more. I invite you to take time at least once a day to remember your blessings.
As you become more thankful, you can not help but see the beauty and miracle of life. If you have a child stand in awe of them as you watch them grow and learn.
Maybe you have a pet. Soak up the unconditional love of your furry friend. Appreciate the miracle they are. Notice how you feel when you are in their presence.

Discovering your Passion:
What brings you joy? What brings out the best in you?
When you love what you do, whether at work or play, can change the way you see the world. When you get to do what you have a gift for, you access your inner power.
Passion comes from deep within you—your creativity is contagious. Your excitement for life helps others to find that within themselves.
Your passion for life is like a beacon of light.
The more you shine, the greater awareness you will have for the sacred in the world. You will not only discover the sacred for yourself, but you will help other people to find the same thing for themselves.
Building Presence:
Presence is all about living in the moment. You like most people spend most of your time in the past or future.
The more present you can be the greater the access you will have to body, heart, and mind wisdom. As you learn to live in the moment you will make better choices. You will be open to experiencing the sacred wherever you go. Your heart will become full of gratitude.
You will live with wonder for the miracle of ordinary life; you will become aware of the many things you take for granted. Nothing will seem mundane. Nothing will seem boring. You will experience joy in ways that you never thought were possible.
Be Love:
I am talking about love in the most profound way possible. It is about first loving yourself. It is about recognizing your purpose.
When you love yourself, you expand your capacity to love others. Loving yourself is all about recognizing the miracle you are and acknowledge your own worth. It is about learning to accept that you have worth just for being you.
Once you can begin acknowledging your worth, you can see the worth in every person you meet, even the people you do not like.
In time you will begin to recognize your own sacredness. You discover the radical truth that every human, every form of life on planet earth is holy, even the inanimate parts of this world are sacred.
