I like your optimistic view! I do think that some things are going to get better and some worse. In the macro aspect of things, I think that the earth is coming to a peak in terms of emotion and is going to have a release. When there is a massive release the earth is going to physically manifest this along with the change in perspective (thus the earth changes people are talking about). I do see a lot more "yoga" studios popping up but I wouldn't necessarily say spirituality is on the rise just yet. I think tough times tend to put things into perspective and that's what may happen. Who knows though, I would like to see a mass rise in consciousness to bring us into the new age. We shall see...
