Aboriginal thought of self is that we are part of our community. The "bigger than me" includes everything and everything I do to the planet I do to me. We must redefine our self as community. It includes as food, water, air, soil and all that there is. As society moves more and more away from nature, we lose our sense of interconnectedness. There are many practices such as Qigong and meditation that help us return to a more holistic sense of self and community. We need to take these steps for our personal empowerment now more than ever.
