Happy Summer to you!  This issue brings words of wisdom from Mother Earth, our Elders, thoughtful famous people and, of course, you. "Me, you might be thinking?" Yes, you.  The subtle energy exercise for this month is about "centering".  Through centering you can become more connected to the wisdom within the fabulous YOU.

And my apology for skipping the June issue of Good Vibe Ezine.  I had technical problems last month. All is well now.

In wellness and joy,
Lucrezia

Mother Earth heals: The wisdom of our Elders and modern science meet.

This time of year my barefeet get excited to be skin-to-soil on the earth.  My whole body feels better simply writing about this. I am reminded of the ancient knowledge of our indigeneous people, the American Indian, and how modern science has come to see the truth of this wisdom.

Chief Luther Standing Bear shares: "There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place.  The old people came literally to love the soil, and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling of being close to a mothering power.  Their teepees were built upon the earth and their altars were made of earth.  The soul was soothing, strengthening, cleansing and healing.  That is why the old Indian still sits upon the earth instead of propping himself up and away from its life giving forces.  For him, to sit or lie upon the ground is to be able to think more deeply and to feel more keenly. He can see more clearly into the mysteries of life and come closer in kinship to other lives about him."
 
The scientific evidence that our biological living system is sensitive to the earth and earth's magnetic field is abundant.  Historically before modern times for our not-so-distant ancestors, walking and sleeping on the earth was a part of normal living.  Slowly, during the last 100 years 21st century life has disconnected us from being physically close to the earth.   And as a result we're electron deficient.1

There's an antidote.  This deficiency gets remedied when we connect to the natural energy field of the earth.  It's called Schumann resonance.  The earth's natural energy field has been demonstrated as literally providing " ... a physical link between solar, lunar, planetary and other celestial rhythms and human physiology."2

Over the next 3 issues of this Ezine I'll share with you a 3 step process to help you harmonize your human energy system and consciously connect with the restorative power of the Earth and, maybe, just maybe "...see more clearly into the mysteries of life and come closer in kinship to other lives..."

Being an Earthling never felt so good.
