spirituality & the city Our readers on : UNITY
Doug Gordon Unity is all about connection. It can be with a person, with nature, with the earth, with an animal, or it can be with God, universal energy or your higher self, depending on your beliefs. Let’s face it – everything is made of energy, and everything is interconnected in some way. Unity can be dramatic – like a near death experience I had, during which I was encapsulated in an amazing feeling of love and connection. Or it can be simpler, like making love to your partner, connecting with them on a soul level. During healings, I have often felt as one with the person, connected to them in a state of divine consciousness. Creating unity with others is all about getting out of your head and into your heart. bodyhealthandsoul.com doug@dougdgordon.com
Ursula Schloer I’ve experienced many moments in my life when I felt unified with somebody, or in general, with a unity consciousness. As a child, I was mostly out in nature, going alone into the forest and meadows, watching the tiniest insects or smallest flowers, feeling at one with everything around me. When the sun rays came through the tree tops, I was completely in awe. I have a joy and zest for life which has hardly left me, ever, even in the most challenging situations. I now live in Northern Leitrim, by a lake, where unspoiled nature is all around me. No traffic, no artificial sounds, no light pollution. I feel very fortunate that this home came to me as I had imagined. As a mother, I can say that holding my own babies in my arms also gave me a total sense of unity with those tiny beings for whom I had been a portal to come into this world.

Ashen Tennege Mine is a story of love and destiny. Born in the mountains of Sri Lanka, raised on the seashores of the Seychelles, I find myself in Ireland. I came here to finish off my degree, which I managed to do. Then the coronavirus hit, and I have been floating around since then. I have always lived life to the full, appreciating every moment. I was born Buddhist – therefore, I followed its philosophy. As time passed, I started to connect with every coincidence and every twist of fate, which is how I found myself in the mountains of Wicklow. There, I found the heart of my heart, in both a physical and spiritual sense. I found the love of my life, and she became a reflection of this planet: all the beauty, the design and the pain. A sunset, the moon, the dew on the leaves, the songs of the birds, the roar of thunder – all had her embedded into it. Flowing with this love in my heart, I found myself and connected to the truth of life. ash.tennege666@gmail.com
