What Green Gift Did You Give Earth Day?

What did you do that made you a greener person this year? Tell me. Post your comment below and feel proud of yourself. Earth Day is a day for you to celebrate your gifts to Mother Earth. Give yourself credit for what you did that made your home cleaner and healthier.

I had to think long and hard on what I did this year that made me a greener person. Growing up on a self-sustaining farm set me up for green and nothing but green.

I don’t have a car, never let water run down the sink while I brush my teeth and don’t use my air conditioning in the hot Philadelphia summers. Don’t get me wrong, I am reasonable; when clients arrive I turn on the cool air in my comfy office.

I can proclaim that this year I did not burn a single fire in my fireplace. I read a few years ago in the Sierra Magazine that wood burning was one of the worse pollutants. So sadly, I cut back my romantic, delightful fires.

This year I did not burn any wood. The dead wood I bought to center city Philadelphia from my NC farm in the back of my rental car is still sitting there in the bin.

For next year I plan to stop using the garbage disposal. Can anyone tell me a small, effective garbage transformer for center city living? It must not attract rodents.

Movies, Mental Illness and Anxiety Help

The arts exist to help you feel your emotions, to
make you care and to rise you up to a higher
level of functioning. If you want to know more
about the newly released films that can help you,
follow me on twitter. I covered the Philly Film Fest.

Connie Stevens wrote and directed a movie about
her life events at the age of 10. Saving Grace B.
Jones is one of the most powerful movies I have
ever experienced. It exposes a subject everyone
else wants to keep in the closet. Mental illness.

Young folks will not remember Connie Stevens,
the singer and starlet. However us older folks do.
And you all will be mighty surprised at her brilliant
movie on mental health, trauma and resiliency.

How American society still treats people when they
have emotional problems and mental health
problems is horrific.

In older societies, intuitive, sensitive people became
the medicine woman, the shaman, and the Delphic
oracle for Alexander the Great.

Traditionally, the oracle at Delphi first belonged to
Mother Earth (Gaea) but later was stolen by Apollo.
This tells us everything.

Mother Earth is the keeper of sanity. Mother Earth is
the keeper of reality. Your relationship to her is the
difference between being sane and being insane.

We became anxious, depressed and crazy when we
lost our connection to Mother Earth.

Check out your energy connection to Mother Earth.
Get your feet plugged in and keep them there for sanity.

===================

Reduce Anxiety by Feeling Your Emotions - Movies Can Help!

Movies help you express your emotions in healthy
ways. If you want to know more about the newly
released films that can help you, follow me on
twitter.

I am covering the Philadelphia Film Festival. Read
about world premiers and other cool stuff.
Get the scoop on great documentaries and films
to watch for and catch on public television.


Here are some thoughts about when a soul decides
to leave the material confines of the body and earth.

What I suggest may be true and it may not be true.
However keep an open mind and see if it fits you
and your experience.

I am comforted by the thought that the soul does make
the decision when to pass over and that nothing is a true
accident. The result is, I can relax and let my soul lead
the way.

My focus changes, my job is not to fret or be scared about
when I am going to pass over. Nope, my job is to listen
to my soul and follow.

So how do you listen to your soul?

Emotions are the pathway to your soul. Last week I was
sad about other people passing over. Sadness is a soul
quality, it is not depression. Sadness is a real emotion
that feeds the soul and makes life deep, rich and
meaningful.

The closest I have ever felt to another human being
was in deep, profound sadness. Soul to soul.

The energy of sadness needs to move through you to
nourish your cells and feed your soul. If you deny or
exaggerate your sadness it will cause you serious problems
in the future. This is because the sad energy will get
stuck somewhere in your body and create stagnation.

If you depress or avoid your sadness you create mental,
emotional and physical problems.

The third audio in my emotional health guide, Opening the
Heart is called, When You're Hurting.... It was made to
help you stay in your sadness so it moves through you
and does not get stuck.

Emotional energy moving through your body is healing and
will transform your life into more vibrant moments and
more joy.

Listen to Gloria Lintermans, author of THE HEALING POWER
OF GRIEF: The Journey Through Loss to Life to help you
stay in grief. On Live at the Edge, internet radio.
