spiritual practices

the most powerful practices i have experienced in my life are rooted in nature. they take place outside in connection with all elements and all living beings, on the ocean, forests, mountains, rivers, circles by the fire, meditation group sitting on the soil of mother earth. for me, the biggest difference in my own personal transformation has been in practices that are truly collective and look beyond the self, that look at me as an extension of all that is alive. then there is that dimension of spiritual practice that to me is kind of like housekeeping and that is when i take care of myself to be in the highest vibration i know to be when i am around others, so that i can inter-be with others from a place in my heart of love. i have seen how much it helps to move energy around my body to release any blockages, doing yoga or riding my bike especially when it's breezy out are one of my favorite ways of grounding myself in love.
