In My Head
The Potential for Abundance
 THE PROCESS continues. Remember when you were a child and summer vacation used to take so long to arrive and then seemed to linger day by day? When it was over, it seemed to have gone by quickly, but still there was a sense of great distance between the beginning of the new school year and the end of the last. The second issue of The Wellpoint progressed likewise. After our first issue, the reality of a second seemed so distant, and yet, here it is. And while the interval went by quickly, a lot of ground has been covered both locally and globally.
We are a nation at war and a culture in fear. Fear consumes us - fear of death, fear of poverty, fear of old age, fear of loss of our sense of self, fear of each other, fear of ourselves and our own limitless potential. It blocks us at every turn. We create boundaries to protect us from every real and imaginary threat possible. Soon our turf becomes smaller and smaller and we grow fiercer and fiercer in our commitment to protecting that circle, keeping us in, and others out. It is imposed upon us by the media and cultivated at home. As a community and as a culture, fear keeps us apart, keeps us suspicious, and keeps us separate.
We tightly protect our spaces around us, believing there is not enough to go around, believing that might makes right, keeping tight lipped, serious, and giving little to those we pass, strangers we meet, the others. Our business might fail, our lives could be in danger, another's success might signal our demise, or others might see through our facade. Surely we must protect ourselves and what we have.
But what if we were different? What if we believed there was more instead of less? What if we looked at life as limitless in resources instead of finite? What if we believed that our hearts had infinite potential for love and that we would not run dry if we shared it with every single person we met on the street, the telephone, in our minds, or in the world? Instead of protecting the last blade of grass we occupied, we could stretch beyond our personal border, opening to each other, reaching out, and trusting. There is an abundance of all that we believe, all that we have, all that we feel, and all that we want and need. Fear loosens its grip.
Our individual lives occur as a microcosm of all life in the world. Each act of openness in turn generates another action of equal or greater magnitude. How we feel, the choices we make, the beliefs we hold create an energetic field, which becomes self-perpetuating personally and universally in thought, word and action. By stepping out of our fear, out of our protected circle of turf, and out of scarcity, we help to change our lives, change our community, and change the world.
We have the ability to change everything about our lives. Step out of your protected circle of turf. Risk your heart. Reach out to another. Trust that all will be well. Live from abundance. Smile at your neighbor as you pass on the street. Make eye contact. Honor the presence of life on the planet. Live from abundance. Bask in the universal, mysterious, infinte present. Live from abundance.
This issue of The Wellpoint is for you, the Central Ohio community and all that it touches: each individual, practioner and business that helps create a culture of love, personal self-transformation, healing, conscious connection, authenticity and inclusiveness. Take this opportunity to be bigger than you thought you could. Emerge.
Very truly yours,
Stevan A Walkowski, D.O.
