Habit 10: Easeful Living

Easeful living is about our orientation to life.

Our orientation to life is so deeply fundamental, so basic in our mind/body hard drive, that we don’t realize we have a choice.

At the most basic level the choice is this:

Do you choose to have a stressful relationship to life (your body, your mind, your relationships, to stress, to what arises each day)?

or

Do you choose to have an easeful relationship to life (your body, your mind, your relationships, to stress, to what is possible each day)?

Like meditation and the other habits, there are levels of competencies that open us to new experiences. These new experiences are more integrated, more connected, more loving, more conscious... must plain more.

Shifting or upgrading our orientation to life eventually opens us to the unified sense of awareness that arises between us. When we develop our capacity to live from this unified sense a truly collaborative more awake life emerges. The first step is to practice an easeful orientation to life in our day-to-day activities.

In the words of Patricia Albere, a pioneer in evolutionary enlightenment, “Those who experience this awakening are blessed with a glimpse of a brave new world of human relatedness that compels them to continue to give themselves to its continued expansion.”

Let’s aim for the brave new world together. We’re all in.
