Wisdom teachings

Sometimes I wonder why so many of us have gotten trapped in today’s fast-paced lifestyle filled with consumerism, wars, hunger, poverty and just dis-connection.

These Native American wisdom teachings may serve to help us live a more balanced and connected life.  The truth in them are ancient and can easily be applied since they remain relevant, no matter how superior we think we are in the modern world!1. The earth is our mother, care for her.  What comes to your mind and heart when you see this?

2. Honor your ancestors through your actions.

3. Open your heart and soul to the Great Spirit.

4. All of life is sacred; treat it with respect.

5. Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more.

6. Put the good of all before your own interests.

7. Give constant thanks for each new day.

8. Speak the truth; but only of good in others.

9. Follow the rhythms of nature; rise and retire with the sun.

10. Enjoy life’s journey, but leave no tracks.

Simple uh?  Perhaps not so easy to apply in the world we live in.  What if we did?  How could this change our life?

Pick one to be with.  I like 7, gratitude!  Neuroscience proves that this one thing changes our chemistry, how we engage with each other, and how it impacts the planetary coherence.
