Surely since the dawn of humankind, there have been inequities and injustices in the world. This is nothing new, and becomes more apparent every day as headlines scroll across your screens. It is easy to feel overly saturated by news and media, and at the same time, perhaps it is exactly this excess of global communication that is helping us shed even more light on the world’s crises and keeping these issues on the front burner. If we’re paying attention, we are also urged to look within, to reveal our own hidden shadows, and reexamine what we are putting out in the world.

A harsh word quickly incites us to anger. An added challenge sparks anxiety. There is often just a nanosecond between a trigger and your reaction. If we can only slow ourselves down with just one inhale and one exhale, we may find the clarity we need to soften the reaction and respond with integrity.

It is so easy to be pulled into comparison mode, measuring ourselves against someone else’s merits and feeling inadequate. How quickly we give away our power. Sometimes dropping beneath the surface of thinking and resting into your body can bring you back to center, helping you rediscover the temple within.
