How the fuck do we save our burning planet?

My hypothesis: through creativity.

Hear me out...

Creativity is not a trivial part of our existence. It is wildly transformative, and in the state of our world, we desperately need deep transformation. Immediately. 

Before I share more about creativity’s healing & transformative power, I want to acknowledge the people affected & devastated by L.A.’s fires. Sending all the comforting & healing energy to those impacted. My heart hurts so much.

For the people needing mental, emotional, and/or spiritual support, I have free meditations on Youtube, plus the free Centered & Sober Meditation Series.

When we feel like we don’t have anywhere else to turn, we can still turn inwards. When we quiet the mind, the soul can guide. 

I feel that Mother Nature is calling us to come together and create new & more sustainable ways of living, as well as honoring/re-integrating the ways of Native people’s rich wisdom of living in harmony with the land. These are ways rooted in connection, love & trust, rather than how we’ve been living as a society — focused on individualism, fear & intolerance. 

Our contributions to our earth MATTER, even if seemingly small. They all add up. 

I feel we’re being urgently called to show up and share our gifts with one another to save ourselves from even greater mass destruction of our planet. It’s time to reorient. 

The more we show up and share our gifts —what our hearts long to do & say— the more we inspire others to do the same. It creates an incredibly important ripple effect and that’s where we can change, where we can grow, where we can create solutions to save ourselves & our home planet. 

Creativity can only thrive in a state of safety, otherwise the brain is solely focused on using its energy for survival. Of course our survival is important to focus on, but those of us that aren’t directly impacted by these fires or other devastating current events, we likely have greater mental capacity to access the creative parts of the mind. We have the capacity to create unique solutions and come together to offer support for others struggling. 

This is why I preach about regulating the nervous system, because in dire moments like this, if we want to be able to offer help, we have to be able to function calmly in the midst of chaos, and a regulated nervous system allows for that.

Sending big love to L.A. ❤️‍🩹
