I am not aware of anyone or any body that is not connected to the universe. The very notion of not being connected to the universe would imply a point or place outside of the universe?
So true and well said, The only thing independent of the eternal universe is time itself. Without time we do not exist, If you live in time you are indeed a product of the energy itself
reach out and feel the force
The Force is strong with this one.
Watching the night sky-stars and constellations.
I have an affirmation that I use. I am a child of the Universe, no more or less than the trees or the stars. I do have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to me at the time, there can be no doubt that the Universe is unfolding exactly as it should. Therefore I am at peace with myself, other people, the Universe.
I never felt disconnected, but as a little girl, I used to talk to it when I felt lonely or sad.
there is no disconnection except in your mind/belief system, you are the universe
In a positive way it is when I am jogging, with music, and I get sort of a mindful (to use that awful over-used term). In a negative way it is when I raise a finger or two, point above, make a gesture, and use language your grandmother wouldn't approve of. You know, some days. But as an atheist I am never delusional enough to think that the "universe" gives a rat's posterior about me one way or another.
When I'm feeling super out of it, I go to Quaker meetings. It's nice to vibe with a room full of people with no expectations, but I can't take guided meditations or yoga seriously. Silence is nice.
Or I pole dance/do aerial. Anything to put myself more in my body while channeling some kind of flow.
Life is a beautiful journey. My connection is my loved ones. The ones that are important to me in my life.
Meditation,running/walking in the countyside/beach,listening to music.
These all calm me and make me aware of where I am, who I am and where it all fits in.
Flying my gyrocopter when I had it. Today it's just videos and memories. Oh cooking is my wow today. The smell of pine needles burning. The smell of hickory smoking pork or brisket. Fireplaces smoking during the sunsets. Burning wood and campfires cooking hotdogs. I guess its all about food for me...lol
