How to Keep Spiritually Sane in Challenging Times© 2005 Corinne McLaughlin

Here are some ways I’ve found to keep myself in balance and uplift my spirit amidst  the difficulties of today’s world:

Spend silent time each week in nature, as the nature kingdoms are already aligned with Spirit and new energy, and so can be very healing

 

Make daily contact with the elements—water, air, earth and fire: take a shower or swim, sit in front of an open fire or candle, put your hands in the earth, let the wind blow caress your body

 

Meditate daily to experience the joy of your soul and to receive inner guidance for your life 

Energize your body daily with regular walks, exercises and/or yoga 

Bring more color into your home and your clothing to uplift your energy 

Play music regularly that inspires your spirit 

Dance often to free your body and open your heart 

Eat healthy, organic foods to care for your body, the temple of your spirit 

Step into other realities and identify with other people’s lives by watching good films or reading uplifting novels 

Stimulate and expand your mind by exploring new ideas at conferences and seminars 

Travel frequently to break out of your habitual patterns and appreciate other cultures 

Create a support group of good friends to share your joys and sorrows 

Learn conflict resolution techniques to create more harmony in your life 

Take in only small dosages of the news—print news is less emotionally draining than television or radio
