Our Connection to Mother Earth

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer”.—Thich Nhat Hanh

The vast majority of us have souls that have lived in bodies on different planets, i.e. – we have come from different star systems. One thing we all have in common is that we are now living together on planet Earth. In this month’s topic, we want to explore our relationship with Mother Earth, why we are here, what she does for us, why it is important to look after her, and how we can improve our relationship with the beautiful physical and metaphysical planet/body that circles the sun once a year. Part of our spiritual journey is understanding why we are right here, right now, in a physical body alive on Mother Earth. This is a key aspect of understanding our spiritual journey.   

For as long as we are physically incarnated, we have a relationship with Mother Earth. When we recognise, appreciate, and nurture this connection, we feel grounded, connected, and more confident in our place in life.

We are intrinsically connected to Mother Earth and all her living beings, including the trees, bodies of water, animals, and elementals.

Our physical bodies are made of stardust and earth and return as such—ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Our elements come from the earth, from what we eat, drink, and breathe.

Trees breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Humans breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, which trees use in their trunks and roots to grow. This is just one example of the symbiotic relationships we have, which show that we are not simply connected to nature; we are nature.

What are the Monthly Spiritual Topics (MST)?

We create new spiritual topics each month. Coordinators use these topics to facilitate discussions to give members the opportunity to talk about real-life situations and to share insights, ideas and strategies. The spiritual topics are posted on CC’s internal social connecting platform where members from around the world engage in conversation and share personal thoughts. These topics are designed to give points of discussion around self-awareness and spiritual development to enable and empower each of us to become the best version of who we are!

Aims of the MSTs

We are all on a unique journey to grow and find greater meaning, purpose, and joy in life. To do this entails a deep focus on one’s inner self. As 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi, stated, “Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.”

To this end, the Monthly Spiritual Topics are designed to help members:

  • Know themselves better (self-realisation)
  • Connect with their inner wisdom
  • Develop conscious focus and intent
  • Live from a heart-centered space
  • Express compassion and be in service to everyone
  • Align with their Higher/Divine Self
  • Manifest positive change for themselves and the collective

Objectives of the MSTs

The Monthly Spiritual Topic process was created to serve two primary objectives: To offer spiritual dialogue and education for members and to provide Coordinators with relevant topic materials to facilitate engaging member discussions. This saves time for Coordinators who no longer need to search for topics and find materials to present. It also gives Coordinators the opportunity to further develop their facilitation skills.
