Why Reconnect?
Many people with whom I've spoken agree that it seems as individuals in modern times, we are becoming more isolated. More isolated socially, more isolated from anything remotely resembling a natural environment, and even more isolated from our inner "selves".
Yes, we have technology which enables us to contact each other over vast distances at any time of day or night, but more and more of us are forgetting the importance of interacting one on one with the person in the same room. We often spend countless hours in traffic on our commutes to and from work, and once returning home, are lucky to even give a wave to a passing neighbor. An average evening often includes dead-bolting the door and sealing ourselves in our homes until the next day and we start the process all over again.
A similar theme applies to our connection with nature and our environment. Where our ancestors once spent the majority of the day in the wilderness, most of us are lucky to have a chance for a visit to a park or any space containing the slightest hint of wildlife. The evidence is building on the negative impact this lifestyle has had on our health--both physically and emotionally.
This brings us to the final area where a re-connection is important--and one which is regularly overlooked--our connection with the self. We have so much going on in our hectic lifestyles that many of us neglect to give ourselves the time to sit back and reflect, to meditate or even just to daydream. We tend to forget that we ourselves are organisms which require some down time and an opportunity to heal, to improve and to grow.
