I believe all forms of life have a natural and innate propensity to pursue growth and self-expression to the maximum capacity of their genetic makeup. As humans, nature has given us unique genetic gifts and abilities, along with a special place in earth’s vast ecosystem. We have incredible potential to create, give, and express ourselves in ways other species do not!
Our genetic blueprint evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to allow us amazing capacities for learning, problem-solving, and skill development. Our natural state is one of health, vitality, creativity, and compassion! Our primal ancestors lived in a natural state for thousands of years, and we are the beneficiaries of the genes they developed.
Over time, civilizations formed, and humans began to adopt practices and beliefs that were contrary to our natural genetic blueprint. That blueprint has hardly changed since the advent of civilization about 10-12,000 years ago.
Today, we find ourselves living in a society plagued with a host of health, environmental, and social challenges. These, I believe, are symptoms of humans becoming disconnected from virtually everything; our food, the earth, our communities, ancestors, and the nutritional and lifestyle habits that created our genetic blueprint. I also believe this disconnection has led to many other disruptions within nature, and we see much evidence of this in the environment, our politics, and our social climates.
In order for earth to heal, we must heal as a human species. Today, nearly 88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy, and our lifestyles are chaotic and busy, which causes us to live under chronic levels of elevated stress and disconnection. I believe nature is calling us to abandon many of the disconnecting habits we’ve developed in our Western culture. I believe we are being called to heal and return to our natural state!
In order to heal and reconnect with the world around us, I believe there are four primary connection points we must reclaim. These are what I call the Four Sacred Ancestral Connections:
Body
Earth
Community
Ancestral Lineage
As we reconnect with our body, spirit, and ancestors, I believe healing takes place that then naturally moves us to reconnect with the earth and our communities. We increase in love and compassion for others. Through healing, we discover our unique purpose and mission, and we become ready and eager to offer them to others. As each person comes to play their part in the ecosystem of humanity, the disruptions we’ve caused in nature will cease and the earth will heal. Then, each form of life will thrive and express itself in the most beautiful and abundant ways possible.
