Earth Healing is a weekly curation of posts from the Hive blockchain which center around the healing of Mother Earth; we specifically encourage and reward posts which promote natural harmony, rejuvenation projects and sustainable living. Natural Medicine for Mother Earth ranges from simple appreciation of her diversity & beauty, through to practical posts encouraging a new relationship with organic gardens, food and lifestyles.
Each week one post author will be chosen as a post beneficiary.
Earth Healing is particularly grateful to and
for generous delegations, practical support and leadership, and is curated each week by
.
We, who have been the scourge of Mother Earth and the cause of so much of her sickness, are invited to engage and contribute to her health and recovery.
Climate change scientist Lee Hannah explains how giving nature space could help curb future disease outbreaks.
Ecosystems in nature function similarly to the human body: When they are robust and healthy—which means they have diverse species and space for healthy animal populations—they are more resistant to disease. Thriving ecosystems also provide a variety of benefits to surrounding humanity, from fresh water to food to fertile soil. However, when human activities such as logging and mining disrupt and degrade these ecosystems, animals are forced closer together and are more likely to be stressed or sick, as well as more likely to come into contact with people. In these conditions, diseases bounce back and forth between wildlife populations and humans.
A visit to the Kumana National Park, a Birding Paradise...
Birds are such an important indicator of environmental health and how Mother Earth is feeling. National Parks play such an important role in helping bird populations survive in our agro-chemi world. Really liked this share of a birding paradise from Sri Lanka - add it to your travel list?
Could one of the important steps for Earth Healing simply be learning to eat and cook what grows wild and naturally around us? Instead of intensive farming, chemicals and imported foods? Leaning to use wild garlic is a nice thought, and one that restores something to the natural balance.
Death's Head Hawkmoth Caterpillar: Worms Within Worms
Where do Mother earth's critically important pollinators begin? Often as amazing grubs, bugs and caterpillars. Insects are SUCH an important part of Mother Earth's complex ecosystems, and we delight in those amazing critters! Grateful for nature photographers who lurk in itchy bushes for hours to capture them for us. If you find one of these in your garden, rehome it quickly as they make the Hungry Caterpillar look like a complete novice. LOL.
We Were Just Afraid Of How Much It Was Going To Hurt
The songs we sing and the words we share reflect our respect for Mother Earth. One might argue that that feeling is at the very core of what we each need to find in ourselves, before we become Earth Healers. This is simply beautiful.
Wrap your hills around our absence
Loosen the concrete belt cinched tight at your waist
Rest.
Breathe.
Recover.
Heal -
And we will do the same.
End the commercial seal slaughter in Canada! 🐾
At what point will the emotions, the tears and the warm fuzzies spur us to action? How long will it take before we step up and DO something? Here is one small thing you CAN do, right now. When you're done with that, put your mask on, go outside (when you're allowed) and find a garden.
This week, and every week, we make one person who is curated above a 5 percent beneficiary on this post. It DOES have to be a
delegator, so this week, I'm choosing
- we love her leadership & sensitive earth-loving soul & want to show our appreciation.
