Heal relationship with earth.

The most important function of any family is to alternately give and receive love in a relatively small circle. Those who are effective in supporting others have learned what it means to be supported. Those who actively enrich another's life have been enriched by others already. There is no life which proceeds without being enriched from outside. All lives receive that benefit, but few are sensitized to it and therefore are less able to provide such enrichment to others.

Spiritual growth, therefore, requires a heightened sensitivity to the love offered by others which in turn provides you with an ability to pass on that love. Without the unit of a family there is less opportunity for receiving love. You can think of countless examples of people who have given significantly to others after having been the recipients of considerable love through family or through close friends.
