Sunday SAGe Newsletter Volume 28: Feel Connected to the Universe of Existence

Here is this week’s installment of Sunday SAGe, an email communication that shares wellness inspiration from The Wellness Ethic to help people thrive during the coming week (and beyond!).

This week, our topic—feel connected to the universe of existence—will help you unlock the happiness that is always present if you seize it.

Feel Connected to the Universe of Existence

An excerpt from The Wellness Ethic:

What is your frame of reference when you think about your place in the universe? Do you see yourself as an individual who is independent of others? Do you view yourself as a member of a tribe, and that forms your identity? Or, and this is provocative, do you envision yourself connected to all living things, an interdependent collective consciousness?

When you feel connected to the universe of existence, you recognize that you are an integral part of a greater whole. You love life, care for all living things, and strive to alleviate suffering. You understand that life isn’t just about you; there’s a bigger picture centered around creating harmony with humanity and nature to propagate love in the universe.

What It Means

When you’re woven into the fabric of the universe of existence, you connect with the beauty of the mysterious, interconnected ecosystem whose inhabitants must love one another to survive. In this grander scheme, your life matters. Yet you are one human among billions. You are one human among trillions of other life forms, ranging from the smallest amoeba to the tallest redwood. Does that humble you? It should.

Your Call to Action

To feel connected to the universe of existence, a starting point can be to connect more deeply with the love in your relationships. Feel a sense of empathy, affection, and unity toward those who are in your orbit. Embrace each person’s vibrant essence. Then, expand your loving horizons throughout the rest of the universe of existence by doing the following:

  • When you walk in a crowd, be an astute observer and imagine the people around you having lives filled with family, friends, and dreams. They’ve experienced joy and hardship. They deserve love in their life. They’re just like you. Connect with their humanity. Feel love within you.

  • When you walk in nature, observe the birds flying. Listen to their cheerful chirps. Imagine their tiny hearts beating. See the butterfly flapping its colorful wings as it bobs in the breeze. Or a spider weaving its life-sustaining web. Every living thing has a purpose in this symbiotic ecosystem and must work together in the circle of life to thrive. Connect with that oneness. Feel love within you.

What will you do today to feel connected to the universe of existence?

Have a joyful week!
