Can you feel it in the air? No, I don't mean autumn, or Winter...I'm talking about the change that is taking place in the world, right now, right this minute. Can you feel and see the old political, banking, business structures fall away like dust in the wind?
I just signed the Conscious Loving/Living Initiative. Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks are relationship experts who comment regularly on the body language being used by our political candidates. They have been counseling conscious relationships between couples for thirty years. They have the unique opinion that we need to become conscious, loving and honest in our relationships with everyone in order to bring about a better world.
The Petition for Conscious Living basically states:
"I commit to authenticity, responsibility and appreciation in my own relationships, and request that politicians speak honestly, take responsibility (thus eliminating blame) and express appreciation."
And Miracles In The World
Speaking The Truth
When you experience conflict, notice any body sensations in your shoulders,
chest area or around your navel. Take a deep, relaxed breath and describe
those sensations in one out-breath, like "My shoulders feel tense"
or "I'm feeling anxious."
Taking Healthy Responsibility
Instead of blame, take healthy responsibility,
as in "Hmmm, I wonder how I'm contributing
to this conflict?"
Create a pleasurable "hmmm" tone that lasts
through your entire out-breath. Explore different
pitches and different places in your chest and
throat to create the best-feeling hum. Then, while
humming, invoke wonder by asking questions like
these: "Hmmm, I wonder how this is familiar
and where I learned this?"
"Hmmm, I wonder how this can be resolved?"
Expressing Appreciation
First, change your body position in some way
that allows you to see a new aspect of the other person.
For example, soften your eyes, move to the side or
back of your partner, or open your posture by
uncrossing your arms. Then, express your
appreciation in one out-breath by completing
the following sentence:
"I appreciate you for ____________."
Do Three Things And The World Changes.
Join The Conscious Living And Loving Initiative.
Wouldn't it be great if we could all sign and start living the spirit of this petition? Wouldn't the world change from anger, greed, blame into perhaps loving, open, honest and giving? I dunno, but I promise to do my part - minute-by-minute with everyone I come in contact with in my life. I do love this life, this world, the beautiful planet and all the life swarming upon it. I would love to see a shift in it's consciousness. How about you? What do you think?
