Healing Mother Earth Lloyd Lill

The vulnerability of our planet is evident everywhere with daily revelations of the effects of climate change. Global warming began with the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century, with the burning of fossil fuels as reflected in carbon dioxide (CO2), which measured 300 ppm (parts per million) at the time of the Industrial Revolution and today stands at 400 ppm. The climate change is creating multiple problems. The concerns of melting sea ice and glaciers are contributing to rising sea levels. The increases in the warmer seas are fueling damaging hurricanes and typhoons, as witness the recent sequence of hurricanesHarvey, Irma, Jose and Mariaand typhoon Haiyen in the Philippines. Extreme heat waves and droughts are impacting farming and creating a world of environmental refugees. There is mounting evidence that soil, water, and air pollution increases are impacting our health. The dramatic loss of species worldwide is unsettling. A response to our troubling time is found in ancient teachings of the Vedic heritage. Their teachings are as relevant today as they were 3,500 years ago. These insights are found in the Samhistas and the texts of the VedasRgveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda, Brahmanas, Aranyakas, and Upanishads. Additional understanding of the inner nature is found in the five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space. The lynchpin of my book is the idea that it is not too late to protect and save our environment and our planet earth. Readers will also value the books appeal to the world communities and their reflective concern in caring for Mother Earth. The aim of this book is to showcase the Vedic teachings and how they can transform our current thinking and, at the same time, how they impact your personal renewal.
