Welcome to Holistic Living Matters, your guide to living consciously, inside and out! If you've arrived at this site, it's because you are listening to an inner stirring, calling you to align yourself with right-living principles, and return to your authentic self. You are probably frustrated by what you see in the world around you and feel overwhelmed. Perhaps you feel helpless, unsure how to begin the change you know is needed for the planet, the people, and your higher self; maybe you feel hollow inside, looking for your purpose, and want a road map to guide you along the way. You've come to the right place.
When you find peace within yourself, Many of us are busy doing, rather than BEING. We strive to arrive at the next goal, lacking awareness of the present moment, and the negative impact this lifestyle has on our health. We're consumed by deadlines, wants, overachieving and conflict. The planet is depleted, countries are fighting, relationships are suffering, and diseases are winning. What is holistic living?
Holism (derived from the Greek word holos, meaning total, entire) takes into account every dimension of one's life as being interdependent of each other and part of a greater whole. A holistic lifestyle is centered on being in harmony within, with others and with nature. It's about simplicity, where less is more, and bliss is an inner manifestation, not the result of material possessions and achievement. It means that every moment is spent in conscious awareness that your choices impact everything and everyone around you. Holistic living compells you to live every moment to the fullest, present and mindful of every thought, action and deed. What results is enlightenment, true fulfillment, and a better world for all of us. Eckhart Tolle wrote, "the world can only change from within". Consider this website a manual for holistic living from the inside out, a collection of conscious lifestyle options to bring harmony and fulfillment into your life and the world. My hope is that it will inspire you to make changes in your own way of living. By taking small steps, the shift will affect and inspire others to do the same. Now, I'm not suggesting we all renounce our worldly possessions, give up our guilty pleasures and go live in a monastery or off the grid somewhere in the mountains. I mean, I live a holistic lifestyle, but I love my smart phone as much as the next person! And how could I share any of this valuable information with you without the world wide web? What I am suggesting is that we can all adopt practices in our everyday lives that are aligned with kindness, compassion and eco-conscious living; that we can walk a mystical path with practical feet (and hopefully sporting sensible, fair trade footwear made of organic, cruelty-free materials!). There is something on this website for everyone; from transforming your body, mind and spirit, to creating a healthy household and planet, and taking sacred journeys across the world. Your holistic life can begin here, NOW. I'd to love hear from you as you journey inward; please contact me and share your stories. I welcome all guest writers who have something to contribute too! The site is constantly growing. New articles and pages are added frequently, so do return often and see what's new. You can also sign-up for a monthly newsletter of all the latest in holistic living. And finally, I invite you to follow Holistic Living Matters on Twitter and Facebook. BE well, and enjoy what matters!
