What does it mean to “cultivate the fullness of our Humanity” in these times and in this culture in which our daily lives are being increasingly dominated by technology? How can we help ourselves and the children who are being born into this world to realize the richness of being fully Human; to experience the beauty of being alive on this amazing planet; to express and enjoy our innate gifts – each one unique?
In the U.S. there are currently so many millions of people being medicated – very young children, teenagers and adults alike – for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, attention disorders. Teen and even child suicide is at alarming rates. What are we missing? How do we deal with this tidal wave of misery? At times, it feels overwhelming and the general “solutions” seem like bandaids trying to stem a hemorrhage.
I believe that there is a potent, readily available, deeply transformative remedy hidden in plain sight, living inside of each of us – closer than right in front of our noses – so close we didn’t think to look there.
