Being empowered includes developing the powerful qualities that lead human beings to cultivate wellness and healing. And those are the same qualities that enhance all relationships on earth and reduce stress (which seems to be the largest precursor to disease)-gentle ness, calmness, patience, humility, compassion, and gratitude.

We are creatures on this planet that have the capacity of self-awareness, playing out our role just the same as all else.

Natural events have completely destroyed this planet on numerous occasions in the past, and just like them we are a natural event destroying this planet.

There is nothing that exists, that is not existing perfectly, which includes every thought we have, every word we speak, and every action we commit. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with me, with you, with them.

The goal of yoga according to Patanjali I am told is citta vrtti nirodha, which means to be silent or free from mental fluctuations.

Just because we can think does not mean we are separate from everything.

Even if we are destroying this planet, we are playing our role perfectly.
