Yes, I, we , need that conscious connection to Source through meditation; what ever that is to each individual, Otherwise for myself, I sometimes feel like a ping-pong ball being bounced back and forth between all that is happening and reacting emotionally, acknowledging what is and feeling that sense of Peace and connection to Source. I just haven't gotten to the consistency of it. Thank you Open for providing the guidance and inspiration to help us all on our journey. Namaste'
