Hari Aum Sadhakas,
This week's blog reflects on humanity's failure to learn from past mistakes and our destructive impact on nature. It highlights how nature, far from being inert, is a powerful living organism that has endured our abuses silently. Recent natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic serve as wake-up calls, yet we still struggle to accept responsibility for the state of the world. In our blog we want to emphasizes that we must recognize our interconnectedness with nature and treat it with respect. The five elements of nature have a deep importance to our well-being, and we have polluted them without considering the consequences that will befall on our own bodies. The widespread pollution of plastic waste, air, water, and the etheric element is described, along with the detrimental effects on both the environment and human health. We urge our readers and humanity to realize that nature controls us, and our only chance for a sustainable future is to nurture and protect all aspects of the natural world. The choice between collective survival or demise rests in our hands.

The Sanatana Dharma
We cannot treat Nature like dirt and expect to be treated with love by her. We have been behaving as if the human being has the sole proprietary rights to the world. Every creature that lives on this planet has as much right to live here as we do. Even the tiniest insect has equal rights. We don't own the earth; on the contrary, she owns us. During the brief period between birth and death, Nature has loaned us our bodies to make the best use of them. We have rented this body from her. We are not the owners! She does not ask for rent, yet it is a fact that she will demand that every particle of the rented house be returned to her at the time of death.
Reflection of the Week
Our bodies are made up of the same five elements that make up this planet. Each of these elements has to be kept in perfect condition if we want to lead a healthy life. If the elements outside are polluted by us, obviously our bodies will also be polluted. Intelligent though we claim to be, we fail to understand this. All the problems that assail us come from the ignorance of this simple fact.

Earthing
Reconnecting the human body to the Earth's surface is an often overlooked contributor to good health. As a species, we evolved with regular contact between our bare skin and the surface of the Earth. The Earth's surface is, in fact, replete with a layer of electrons which when in contact with our bare skin, transfer to our body. The effects of this contact are widespread, ranging from improving circadian rhythms and insomnia, to regulating inflammation. Today's health tip is to thereby spend some time everyday with your bare feet on the Earth - enjoying this natural transfer of electrons and all the benefits that brings!
