Week 28 Challenge - Where Do I Feel Connected

Posted on the 14 July 2012 by Nadine
This year I decided to challenge myself to reflect on various Yoga and Buddhist aspects throughout the year. The challenges come from a variety of places including readings in Deborah Adele's Yamas and Niyamas and Thich Nhat Hanh's Heart of the Buddha's Teaching and Happiness.
This week I was contemplating where I feel connected to Universal Energy. There are two main locations where I feel this connection:
  • Anytime I'm in nature, I can feel a strong connection to the natural world (plants, animals, water, earth). I can feel it in my backyard. I feel it even more strongly in more "wilderness" type areas, especially ones with water (lake or river).
  • I also feel a strong connection when I'm in locations of a spiritual nature: chapels, churches, etc. It doesn't matter what the religion is, but I feel a connection to both Universal Energy and to my spritual ancestors.
I am trying to find a place that combines both for me, where I can feel the connection to nature, but also to my spiritual ancestors. Week 28 Challenge - Where Do I Feel Connected
