“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

 

In a colonized culture that prioritizes individuality over collectivity, we can too often feel separated & lonely, hopeless & powerless 

 

Reminded of a study I came across in university on the topic of mindfulness that is relevant to my query

 

While this practice can serve to decrease anxiety, depression and chronic pain to improve well-being, authors of the study were critical that it can make us more tolerant of systemic and interpersonal mistreatment

 

We conform to external pressure into our comfort zone, and let toxic patterns dominate

 

All this to say, I know self care is vital, to put #1 first in terms of developing awareness, wisdom and practice for deep inner healing work, it’s because then our personal energy shifts in service of connecting others in community with action

 

Healing individuals is not separate from healing society, they are intertwined

 

One of the elements I love about #TheLoveYourVibeTransformation is our Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) training in community

 

Here we educate our #MiracleMindsetMentors about global and human dynamics including historical power structures and personal biases, how they play into ongoing collective trauma, prejudice, discrimination and ultimately oppression

 

When we can clearly see, feel and unlearn Power-Over and Power-Under power-plays, more importantly witness how we personally perpetuate them, we can heal our personal trauma, so we can better relearn ways of being Power-With others around us

 

As we heal ourselves, we learn to shift denser embodied vibrations of fear, grief, shame, and resentment towards lighter vibrations of love, peace, joy, and authenticity

 

YES we have the ability to heal ourselves, yet how we apply our energy to become more #Aligned, #Authentic and #FullySelfExpressed can ripple into the world as we face that which harms society

 

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feelings?

 

Wishing you blessings along this wild ride of life
