[...] wellbeingandhealth.net & Blog Archive &… My friend, a therapist in Canada, wrote a thought provoking guest post: From my comment there: “I think there are varying degrees of being “in sync” with mind, body, Earth. I can’t seem to give up my Starbucks but I still feel a concrete part of my surroundings with or without it.” [...]

damien, thanks for the comment. i get the “starbucks” thing – there are some things that i’d have an extremely hard time letting go of. so maybe for your it’s starbucks. for me it’s ridiculously long, hot showers. but we don’t have to immediately get rid of our favourite indulgences in order to live a healthier life all round. i think we all have and do things that aren’t healthy for either mind, body or earth that we don’t really need or want, either. if we just started chipping away at those, i think we’d make a big dent.

BTW, i’m doing well with my assualt on my plastic bag use

Hi Damien,

Thanks for your comment. Like you I want conscious unity with the earth rather than the other kind! (I prefer my coffee home brewed.)

I think there are varying degrees of being “in sync” with mind, body, Earth. I can’t seem to give up my Starbucks but I still feel a concrete part of my surroundings with or without it. I think we can overanalyze to the point of when our visceral reactions are tuned out and I think you’d agree that’s bad. After all, many people (not me of course) believe that when the body dies, so does the mind, and therefore all consciousness dies for a person. I might argue then would be the time that we are truly at one with the Earth and I’m not ready just yet I think I’ll go pour myself a second cup of the Starbucks homebrew I made this morning

thanks for having me as a guest here, evan! need to look up that song, jean.

living a simple life – yes, i’m working on that, too. i probably live a simpler life than most north americans but there is still lots and lots of room to improve. the challenge i’ve given myself right now is to go out of my way not to use plastic bags. since i shop for a big family, that can be interesting (try and do without them when you realize you’ve forgotten your cloth bags after you’ve just made a $150 grocery purchase!). but since i don’t want to have plastic bags lying around in my garden, i don’t want to have them lying around anywhere else either …

ooops, i rambled!

good to meet you all here!

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.
