With so much worldwide destruction, we can feel powerless the make a significant impact on an individual basis. So many corporations, governments having agendas that give no thought or respect to the sanctity of our planet. Recycling is one effort that comes to the forefront. Over the past 20 years recycling has become a staple in many countries around the world. However, there is still so much carelessness regarding waste.
Back in the summer of 2010 I learned a very disheartening fact about recycling at least at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. I was working for some promotional company walking around passing out brochures for an event that day with a huge inflated cartoon like character strapped around my waist and fluttering above my head.
It was one of the most ridiculous promotional jobs I ever attempted, making extra money in the summer while teaching. However, I learned something profound. On my break I decided to walk inside. I noticed several huge recycling containers separated by clear labels and felt relieved to see that Independence Hall was doing its part or at least so it seemed.
I began speaking with one of the museum workers about the recycling program and when they started implementing it. This is Philadelphia, not Singapore. It was refreshing to see! He laughed and said all those containers are dumped together into the main dumpster, as he pointed down the hall where the door was ajar opening up to the one main dumpster!!!
The whole thing was a front! I couldn’t believe it and questioned with him further for veracity. I was painfully shocked and wasn’t ready to let this go so fast and walk away. He told me he witnessed this time and time again. My heart sank and the momentarily held idealism about progress in my city tossed out with the garbage!
After several years of passionately educating my students about the conditions of our planet and how we all needed to make an effort, assigning them projects to come up with their own ideas of how they could assist in their own homes, school, and community I was beyond disappointed. I was pissed!
“Now that people are making an effort, how many companies, institutions, trash companies are duping us, doing as they please with no regard to our desire to clean up Planet Earth?”
I almost felt like we the little people couldn’t make a difference, even when we tried thinking I would have to wait until I was in some kind of position of influence to be able to create an organization, a movement for transparency and real solutions or join those who were. I started supporting “Penn Environment” with donations for several years to come and put these heartfelt ambitions on the back-burner for a while.
Not so Powerless – We Can Make A Difference Each One of Us
After my moment of deep connection with the heart and soul of Gaia in December 2016 in Sedona, I realized that our thoughts, our appreciation is heard and gives nourishment to our planet. We can anchor into the core of Mother Eart while meditating, thinking, visualizing the love and light of the cosmos entering through our crown chakra, spiraling down into the heart of our beloved planet. You might ask how will my thoughts help alleviate the massive environmental challenges we face?
Our gratitude our compassion increases the vibrations on our planet, starting with YOU! As we shift vibration, we shift our world. All starts energetically before it materializes. We’ve all read and heard about the law of attraction, the core of this law is the law of vibration.
This is a helpful explanation from Laws of the Universe.weebly.com:
“…thought is where it all begins. As your conscious mind dwells habitually on thoughts of a certain quality, these become firmly imbedded within the subconscious mind. They become the dominant vibration. This dominant vibration sets up a resonance with other similar vibrations and draws them into your life. This is easier to understand if you consider that from the metaphysical view, the whole universe IS MIND. In turn, your vibrations affect everything around you – your environment, the people and animals around you, the inanimate objects, even the seemingly ‘empty’ space and they, in turn, affect you.”
So, the next time you are meditating, send some love straight to the heart of Mother Earth! She hears you and is invigorated by your awareness. We will rise together, one at a time, as one affects the whole!
