Let’s build our circles of love…

“Communities are a more powerful form of medicine than nutrition, exercise and smoking cessation”
James Maskell –The Evolution of Medicine
Community doesn’t just heal us… it connects us to a bigger purpose, a bigger meaning… it gives us the chance to discover ourselves, to reveal the best in us, to fulfil our mission on earth… yes, we do have a mission… a mission to spread love, to spread peace, to unite hearts and mend souls… it is the mission of each and every one of us, but our roles differ, our executions differ… each one of us brings his/her own experiences, talents, potentials, touches and additions… this is why we need one another… we complete each other… we heal each other…
 
All traditional medicine/ cultures placed community and belonging at the base of the pyramid of human needs… it is the foundation on which your whole life stands… it is essential to your life as your food and shelter… it is how we feel safety and security… We lost this meaning in our ‘modern’ civilized world… we lost it in the rush of everyday life and in the noisy buzz of social media… we lost it in the clutter of our own mind…
 
In his book ‘Tribe: On home coming & belonging”, S. Junger argues: “For many people, war feels better than peace, hardship can turn out to be a great blessing and disasters are sometimes remembered more fondly than weddings. Humans don’t mind hardship, in fact they thrive on it; what they mind is not feeling necessary. Modern society has perfected the art of making people not feel necessary.”

​As we ‘modernised’ our lives, we found ourselves more and more able to detach from a community, we learned to take pride in our individualism… we learned to be self-sufficient and independent… And, without even realizing it, we cut off an essential part of our being… an essential component in our health formula… The need to belong… to belong to a community that supports us not just physically but intellectually, emotionally and spiritually as well.
 
How do I know that this is essential?
 
Look at the sky-rocketing rates of mental illnesses… The rates of depression, suicidal tendencies, anxiety and schizophrenia are directly proportionate to the rate of affluence and ‘civilization’ of a society…
 
As we became more ‘civilized’, our hearts grew further apart…
As we stuffed our plated and over fed our bodies, we starved our souls and depleted our spirits…
 
This is my invitation for all of us today to connect… connect on a deeper soulful level… an invitation for us to care again, love again, belong again… an invitation for us to unite…

Start with your family… gather around your kitchen table tonight and just talk… laugh… share stories, dreams and hopes… 
Then, extend the circle to your  friends, your community, your society… let’s build our circles of love… let’s draw them together… let those circles expand and touch each other… let them fuse into bigger and bigger circles of care and peace that will heal us and heal our world.

    About the Author

    Hi, I'm Amira... I'm all for simple, natural, uncomplicated life... My core values are derived from my Islamic faith... My definition of wellness includes lots of smiles, human interactions, delicious food, music, joy, colorful paint, Mediterranean sunshine, blue sky and turquoise sea, care, love, compassion and deep heart-felt peace.
    I love learning… I love books and art supplies… And, I am saddened by human conflict and intolerance.
     
    I am an introvert who loves being around people... I love building communities and gathering around the kitchen table... I am a teacher at heart... I simplify complex health science and speak openly about heart and soul stuff...

    I've been helping people on their health and healing journey for more than 20 years now and I am committed to be authentic, caring and a beacon of love and peace.
