Spiritual Practices for Times of Crisis

As the writer of this article states, "the going is rough", as chaos and crisis around the globe erupts on every level of human endeavor and cosmic events destroy lives beyond repair.


"At this turning in humanity's journey, science and spirituality converge, and we can glimpse new possibilities for a life-sustaining civilization. But the going is rough. One mega-disaster follows another. Economic, political, and ecological systems spin out of control, in what David Korten aptly calls the "Great Unraveling."

"The greatest gift we can give our world is our presence, awake and attentive. What can help us do that? Here, drawn from ancient religions and Earth wisdom traditions, are a handful of practices I have learned to count on."


These suggestions offer a starting point for those who are seeking answers on how to deal with constant assaults upon our lives through circumstances out of control.
