During the first half of our life, we adapt to the world around us; first to our families, then our peers, and society at large. Our survival depends upon those adaptations. As we age, however, our authentic Self is often no longer aligned with those adaptations and the compromises necessary to uphold them present as symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, and many other stress related maladies. The courage to choose a course correction can be one of the most important choices of our life.
Carving out time on a daily basis to connect with the beauty of nature is a way to quiet our mind and get to a place of present-moment awareness. This is where peace happens.
Eric encourages us to consider the 1,000 year old Mayan traditions which call praise and grief siblings that "share the same bed."

But something precious has been lost over time, as empathy, intuition, and the role of human connection became devalued. How can we reclaim those roots?
