Greetings!
What a remarkable experience is the season Spring! The interminable brown and white and gray of winter is split apart by green shoots, yellow daffodils and buttercups, and the white blossoms of fruit trees. The sweet breezes bring us the smell of life, and birdsongs invite us to dance. Such is the magic of green.
Spring - a time to plant those seeds that will bear fruit in the summer and fall, and sustain us through the winter. And it is no less important to plant the seeds of positive thought, of healing images, of Love and wisdom.
To plant a seed is to make a commitment to shelter and nourish its growth. Similarly, to create the future you want to create you must first choose to think and plan carefully, then engage in those healthy behaviors of mind, body, and emotion that will enhance your life and lead to the success you deserve.
In my April workshop, Awakening the Healer Within, I was impressed with how much more aware we all are of the need for healing and transformation, not only at the individual level, but also at the level of our country and the world. This may be a very special Spring, with more people than ever realizing that every one of us has a part to play in planting the seeds that will determine the future of our world. They are realizing that the change we want begins within, with the balancing of stress, accessing inner power, bringing healing to the body, and then joining hearts with kindred spirits in the next steps.
My article this week will explore aspects of New Paradigm thinking, and Greening from within. Be well, and love fully.
Warmly,
Emmett Miller MD

Article: Waking Up Green
Excerpt from Our Culture on the Couch;
Seven Steps to Global Healing
by Emmett Miller MD
While the jury is still out on whether or not the administration we placed in office can successfully deal with its current docket of incredibly complex issues, one thing is certain. Regardless of what kind of job Barack Obama does, his very election tells us that at some level we are really ready for change - a very specific kind of change. We want a change from this world where a few ultra-privileged individuals at the center benefit while those at the periphery--those carrying the burden of the work-- suffer greatly.
Change We Can Believe In
The change we want is a move toward the empowerment of the individual, and a change in the structure of our governmental, business and healthcare systems that make the top one percent fabulously wealthy, while leaving others quite literally out in the cold. We want our collective choices to be made primarily from the perspective of the New Paradigm . We want more wholeness, more cohesiveness, more mutual respect and interpersonal harmony; we want a society of immanence, not dominance, of social justice and fairness. We want to be guided by that sense of oneness - what some might call the Spirit That Moves Through All Things. Our vision is of a place where we all believe that every person has a unique value, and that extraordinary resources are possessed by even the most ordinary among us.
I see this desire within so many of us as an aspect of the "Green Movement" - this is an attempt of the human community to "go green," just as we are striving in so many other arenas to protect and restore the planet and its natural resources - a stewarding of spirit.
The change we really want to see is the creation of a nation - indeed, a world - where our leadership is according to certain principles that are so lacking in our world governments, notwithstanding the current fashion of our rulers who hire PR firms to make it seem that they subscribe to and practice these ideals (this keeps the natives from getting restless). We want a place with a different kind of communication, a certain kind of sharing; we seek to apply a green technology in the realm of human communication and relationships.
 Waking up Green
Our most recent election demonstrated most significantly that many of us are waking up to this needed change, to a way of guiding our collective future that does not exist that does not replace the competitive meritocratic vigor that currently dominates, but that balances it with the spirit of respect, cooperation, and Love among individuals, races and nations.
To be sure there are many who have not begun to awaken. They feel satisfied with the old system of domination, because they happen to be the top dogs. They are paid off in the money, sex, power, and privilege that they have become accustomed to - and that they value over justice, equality, compassion, and brotherhood. Our task is to discover how to awaken them to the fact that it is not only our boat that is sinking, theirs is too - in fact, that we are in the same boat!
It is time for those who are becoming awake to come together, dream together, and breathe together - to conspire - and to create the conditions that will facilitate this awakening, even as we nurture our own ongoing process of coming out of our cultural denial sleep. When enough of us are not only talking the talk, but walking the walk, the idea density will reach the "hundredth monkey point," the psychic critical mass that will result in a self-sustaining chain reaction leading to the birth of that new world we are now envisioning.
The Plot
Think about it. The legions of subprime mortgage vendors, AIG execs, investment banks, elected officials - consider for a moment the sheer number of people conspiring together who turned a blind eye to the whole scam, thus creating the perfect economic storm, this financial Katrina. We watched dumbfounded as the plot unfolded ¬- as corporations purchased, through lobbyists, the lawmakers of our government, who then deregulated industry after industry, relaxing pollution standards, limiting our ability to control these soulless corporate entities, and transferring our wealth to their ownership aristocracy.
While the advertising industry, demagogues, and fundamentalists kept us distracted, the fat cats broke into the vault and stole not only our money, but the wealth of our children and grandchildren, who will be paying it in the form of taxes for years to come. 
Individuals, companies, local governments - we were cleverly hoodwinked into believing that we were growing safely, at an attractive rate, leading consumers and producers alike to peg their production, consumption and expectation to the standard measures we were trained to believe in. These standards (Dow Jones, Inflation Rate, GNP), however, are rigged do anything but reflect the truth. What a joyful picture they painted, enthusiastically encouraging people to invest in an economy that was promoted as "fundamentally sound." Invest in a home now, you can always sell it in a few years at a profit.
The whole thing bears an enormous resemblance to the typical Ponzi scheme - a pyramid scam - a macabre game of musical chairs. The music plays over a million ipods - then suddenly it all stops and everybody scrambles for a chair. But there are too few, and millions suddenly find themselves without a seat, without a home, without a job, and without a 401k.
Looking through the retrospectoscope, how easy it is to see the mess and how we created it. You don't need a Harvard MBA to see it, yet there were hundreds - thousands - of eminently qualified MBA economists, bankers, financial pundits and the like who some how failed to see this slow motion train wreck happening right under their noses - displaying denial verging on mass hypnosis in. Or could it possibly be that they intentionally chose to not see the disaster so they could focus on lining their pockets with the suffering of others? Did they underestimate the damage that would result? Or worse, did they foresee the suffering that would be wreaked worldwide, but simply not care? How could they possibly have cared so little for what we all share? Old Paradigm thinking at its ugliest!
And far too many people are reacting out of the same paradigm. They run about pointing fingers and cameras. "Whose fault is it, who can we blame. We need to attack someone." Convenient targets are chosen, and we expend our energy until our ardor for justice subsides, and we slip back into hypnosis, never realizing these effects are but symptoms of a more fundamental systemic illness. And unfortunately our spastic attempts to destroy the symptoms make the underlying disease worse. There is no single person or group to blame. We must learn the lesson Mr. Madoff is here to teach us, but not let him become just another red herring.
We Have Met The Enemy, and He Is Us
Is it not clear that every one of us is located at some point on that continuum between complete altruism and Madoffian evil? And is it not high time that each of us began to examine those choice points in our lives at which we must decide whether or not we will take something for ourselves while denying it to someone else. What about all the little lies we tell daily? When you lie it is a theft, for by doing so you are denying another person access to the truth, and that is stealing.
If we do not learn from history and use that knowledge to change our behavior, we will be forced to repeat history. And each time the price goes up. Is it not time we considered the very real possibility of changing the system, or will we choose to continue to flail about chasing the symptom du jour? There has never been a better time to do this - the Internet has changed the equation, and we could choose to use our enhanced communication abilities to join forces and take back our planet from our greedy overlords.
Throughout the world, a huge number of motivated, talented, skilled people feel deep grief that the suffering humanity has experienced in the wake of this odious and outmoded system and are motivated to participate in the change. We see clearly the tragedy of how it has created wealth for the few by pitting brother against brother, feeding on anger and violence, competition and domination, abuse and cruelty. Compassion is making a comeback, and if we who are awake begin to use the powerful tools we now possess, if we begin to conspire, to pool our energies, we can c reate a sustainable way of life for all who dwell within our biosphere. The change we voted for now needs to happen in your heart and in mine.
Will we wake up fully and take the responsibility of becoming in our individual lives, the change we want to see in the world? It isn't easy being green, but it is worth it.

I began to write Our Culture On the Couch just after 9/11, and it represents the most complete presentation of the steps I have found crucial in the healing of individuals as well as groups. The systemic healing tools (Software for the Mind) presented here constitute a kind of "user's manual" for creating transformation (more colorfully, healing) at every level of system.
I will be offering a limited number of free copies of this book to readers of Healing Times, to facilitate the spread of its information as wisely as possible. If you are interested in receiving a copy send me an email to DrMiller@DrMiller.com (subject line: Our Culture On the Couch Advance Copy).

Outer Reflections of Inner Peace
PeaceArt Show at The Center for the Arts, Grass Valley, CAThe Union Newspaper, April 9, 2009: War can be forced upon us, yet peace must begin within. In fact, world peace will only occur once we find inner peace.
Artists,
professional and amateur, young and old, responded to an invitation to
express their inner experience of peace. Each artist created a piece of
art that expresses their personal experience of peace and will be
featured at Outer Expressions of Inner Peace, Multimedia Art Exhibit at
The Center for The Arts.
The goal of the artists was to find the
inner place of peace, then create and share the images it inspires. The
exhibit includes fine arts, photography, collage, crafts, poetry, and
sculpture.
The event is sponsored by PeaceArt Nevada County.
PeaceArt's goal is to awaken the awareness of inner potential for
peace, and to inspire the artist within each of our hearts. They said,
"When there is peace within the heart of the individual, there will be
peace in the family. When there is peace in the family the community
will be peaceful, and peaceful communities are the key to national and
global peace."
"If we are to change our world view, images have to change."
- Vaclav Havel, Former President of the Czech Republic, poet and playwright
When: Noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday; Artist's Reception: 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, April 19.
Where: The Center for the Arts, 314 West Main Street, Grass Valley.

Cost: $200 for 5 hour workshopClick Here for more information and to register Description:
As individuals, and as communities of people living together on our
small planet, we are facing challenges never before encountered - and
stress levels that are off the charts! The world has changed, and we
must change with it.
Now is the time to
apply the tools we have to create healing - wholeness and balance that
is sustainable, effective, and satisfying. Fortunately, the same tools
that create wholeness and balance at the individual level prove to be
the source of harmonious and effective action at the collective level -
what Gandhi meant by "Become the change you want to see."
In
this workshop we will explore the use of deep relaxation, guided
imagery, and authentic conversation to release stress, create inner
peace, and focus your skills, talents, and gifts to heal yourself and
the world you live in.

Description: We have become more aware of the vast resources within each individual
that may work for or against healing or the achievement of wholeness.
In this workshop, Dr. Miller will explore the principles of
self-healing, current findings in psychoneuroimmunology (the effect of
thoughts on the immune system), and the process through which thoughts
and images become biochemistry. This workshop is an experiential
introduction to both the why and the how of tapping your inner
resources for awakening, promoting and supporting the healing process.

Description:
"At our essence is a divine 'Knower,'" says Dr. Emmett Miller, "an
inner healer and guide. Invalidated and injured by trauma, stress, and
neglect, this abused spirit retreats, depriving us if its wisdom and
healing. Separated from this spirit, something in us hungers and,
unfed, grows weaker, shrivels, and may even die. At every level -
personal, family, community, cultural, and planetary - this spirit has
been wounded deeply, and is still being wounded. The result: stress,
illness, violence, and dysfunction, visible everywhere."
Dr.
Miller's goal is to go past the symptoms to the source to reconnect
with the spirit, the vital force of love, life, wholeness, and
healing. In this workshop, Dr. Miller guides participants in awakening
the healer within, both personally and as a community of beings on a
small planet. The workshop focuses on:
· Letting go of stress, relaxing deeply, and entering the Healing State
· Exploring how beliefs and images become physical and behavioral events (symptoms)
· Allowing the inner healer to channel thoughts, developing beliefs and images that lead to wellness and peak performance
· Learning tools for integrity of thoughts, feelings, and behavior
· The direct experience of joyful self-awareness, healing and peace
The
workshop features hands-on experience, deep relaxation, imagery and
movement, group discussion, and lecture. It is designed for
professionals and lay persons, beginners and experts alike.

Patriotic Retirement: HOW TO FIX THE ECONOMY
THE CHEAP AND EASY WAY
In the St. Petersburg Times, the Business Section asked readers for
ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?" This was the BEST idea.
Patriotic Retirement:
There are about 40 million people over 50 in the U.S. work force. Pay
them $1 million apiece severance with three stipulations...
1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed!
2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed!
3) They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed!
Interesting . . . And no corporate bonuses . . .
