Welcome to the pages of earthlight!, a premier source
of new ideas about health, science, and spirituality. Summer is
a time of revelation, when the results of intense Spring growth
are made visible. This may also be a time of heightened perception,
and clarity. In a still moment, you may discover your ability
to gaze within, or beyond.
In this issue we feature the work of two artistic visionaries:
musician/director Walt
Michael and mural artist William
Cochran. These two leaders have applied their extraordinary
skills and talents to create artistic, community-based movements
aimed at re-integrating humanity. Through visual and performing
arts they have involved and inspired thousands, and helped to
bring the great community of humankind a little closer together.
It turns out that the finest things in life are also the easiest
to share, and through shared experience we begin to heal what
is broken in the world.
In the health department, Larry
Tepper examines the causes of PMS from the view of traditional
Chinese medicine. Larry explains that there are many factors which
can lead to dis-ease, and that choices we make every day have
a profound impact on physical health.
Also in this issue, Linda
Luke shares what she has learned from interactions with nature.
Here is a valuable lesson about the subtle energies of consciousness.
According to many philosophers, the same rules of interaction
apply at all levels, from garden to corporate boardroom. Whenever
you seek the way of harmony, recall Linda's experience with the
butterfly.
There is much in the way of practical spirituality in this
issue. Alan Cohen writes about
prayer and how to make it work, Carol
Heideman explains why negative energy is a gift, and Bettye
Binder helps to put life's difficult moments in perspective
by explaining the truth about Karma.
All of these articles, and much more, await the pleasure
of your company. Find a quiet space, slip into something comfortable,
and enjoy...
