This Month’s Being Game: Being Connected

This past month’s Being Game (where we consider and hold an aspect of spirit for daily contemplation) was Being Connected. This was a particularly powerful game as we came to understand that the quality of our connection to our path, to our environment, to our partners, to our work, to our food, to our ideals, etc., and especially to ourselves has a direct correlation to the degree that we can experience purpose, happiness, and meaning in our lives. In fact, the opposite – being disconnected – is the certain recipe for confusion and suffering. The very act of being connected is the exercise of being present, since the perception and experience of connection can only happen in this very moment. Are you connecting to the message right now? Can you connect to the feeling of a response as you read these words?
