On the surface this may seem like a strange concept. It is not strange however to those who consider the ecocentric and sustainable Way of living. The power of less is. not just a way of thinking, it is also a way of feeling and ultimately being. It is a state of mind that ultimately means contentment. How do we get there? It begins with simplifying our lives. It means to unclutter, reuse, recycle, and conserve so that thriving is not a materially contingent experience!! There was a tee shirt years ago that said: “LIVE SIMPLY SO OTHERS CAN SIMPLY, LIVE!” A very wise statement that embodies an essential value and commitment that relates to conservation of resources, on all levels, as well as a sustainable existence. It even extends to being conscious of not wasting food. This latter idea relates not just to not throwing food out or not buying food that is not healthy for you but also relates to taking a rational and healthy look at what you ingest.

All these practices mentioned relate to one core idea: be aware, of yourself, your surroundings and environment and what your needs really idea ranging from the spiritual to the emotional and physical. AWARENESS. Can be simply taking a look inside your thoughts and feelings and Questioning what is there and how shall you relate to it. The issues we posted above are a good start! Enjoy the journey!!
