Transformational and Regenerative Practices for Personal Evolution
A skill-share collection from our network
The world is reaching thresholds of change on so many fronts. Many of us are expressing growing uncertainty and discomfort from the systems that are failing us as well as how our own shadow or trauma is triggered by the changes. Those working on changing the systems towards that which is healthy also need life sustaining practices for themselves. Many change makers and and activists are realizing that the outer change can only be done while doing the inner change work. This is essential and necessary because how we perceive, how we react or respond, and how we act is directly connected to our inner experience and what we believe and feel.
Challenges and triggers in our work, our world and our life can reveal tender places of our own learning and healing edges and is an excellent opportunity to do some inner work. In so doing, we not only become more effective change makers, we also heal ourselves, bring greater health to our relationships, and widen our experience of joy and authentic expression.

In so doing, we not only become more effective change makers, we also heal ourselves, bring greater health to our relationships, and widen our experience of joy and authentic expression.
And when we are feeling good and not particularly challenged, this is a good time to instill personal practices that will help you navigate life's journey as a whole--building your "resilience muscles"--so you'll have greater capacity when things may get more turbulent. Building inner resources and having effective tools when facing adversity, trauma and life's many challenges makes a huge difference in how successfully we can navigate our journey in life.

Here are some different versions (and lengths) of grounding meditations. Grounding is so helpful anytime you need to find your center or regain balance, to use in group meetings and gatherings to bring everyone more present, and to have as a regular daily practice.

- Live Another Day - Live Another Day believes in equal access to life-saving mental health and substance use resources. This website provides extensive information on the best resources available.
