Recipe to Chill


Today  I got so anxious. Living in this place and time there is so much pressure to save the world. We’ve got wars, and failing whales, and global warming, and peak oil, and evil food empires and…..

Goodness, saving the world would be a wonderful thing. But it’s also an overwhelming concept to hold onto. One of my favorite bloggers, Ran Prieur posted the other day in response to an ongoing thread on his website’s discussion board. The board was conversing about permaculture and whether it is possible to save the world through the actions of permaculture. He writes:

I’m seeing what I call the Utopian Dictator Fallacy: that it is both right and possible for us to decide how everyone else is going to live. Combine this with historical narcissism, that we live at the most important moment of all history, and you get the arrogant (and stressful) idea that you and I can and should decide the whole future of the planet.

I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of days now and it has inspired me to look at my actions in a different way. In addition to looking at the role my actions play in the contribution to the future, I have challenged myself to look at how my actions contribute to what is happening right now. And I came up with a recipe to chill.

Recipe to Chill

  1. Put some pure lavender essential oil on your hands
  2. Poor a tall glass of raw milk
  3. Recline into something supportive and soft
  4. Breath lavender, drink milk
  5. Meditate on the joy of the present
  6. Repeat and continue with the rest of your day
