The Ancient Inca's and You


I have been thinking about my magical journey to Peru lately. The Ancient Incas built their entire culture and civilization without electricity, computers, refrigerators, cars, washing machines, cell phones and I-pods. They lived in communion with Mother Earth (Pachamama), the stars and moon.

With global warming becoming more and more evident I have become very aware of the resources I consume and support. I hope to inspire you to become more conscious of the choices you make in regards to food and energy consumption.

How much do we really need? When will we finally have enough? Why must we go outside of ourselves to become fulfilled? I believe that we have all that we need inside of our own hearts and souls. Each of us is unique in our ability to deeply connect with our hearts and souls. You can connect through mediation, yoga, prayer, silence, nature, drumming, dancing, intimacy with another being, skiing, playing with children, laughing, relaxing, art, singing etc.

The manner in which you connect to your heart and soul does not matter. What matters is that you dig deep and connect within everyday.

Turn your lights off in your home, be in the dark. What comes up for you? Turn your heat down, put a yummy sweater on and a warm hat and snuggle under a blanket. Look at the stars and express thanks for being alive in this exciting time on the planet. Bless your water. Smile at a stranger.

When we respect Mother Nature we learn to respect ourselves.
