ry these practices daily – or like us, multiple times daily – to stay in peace and harmony with the intense energy happening around our planet right now. Be present. THIS moment is all we have. There will never be another one. (Eckhart Tolle) The challenge is to think less about future fears or past grievances so you can appreciate who and what is around you right now. Appreciate the clothes, food, home, warmth, clients and friends and family you have. While there are plans and goals, stay present in your moment and follow your heart’s intuition as to what your next steps may be. Be mindful. Now that you’re in your moment, slow down. Take the time to really notice what you are doing and thinking, and how you are feeling. You can’t see the beauty in everyday things and people if you are rushing around to be productive. Choose to see the best in people, places and things rather than their flaws or quirks. Choose to see the beauty in your life as it unfolds while thinking the thoughts that feel the best. (Abraham Hicks) Stay in your heart by feeling love, appreciation, gratitude, and care as often as possible (see free heart-mind coherence exercises on heartmathinstitute.org). Breathe. The Breath has been called “the Name of God.” At least five seconds in and five seconds out will automatically start bringing your heart into coherent rhythms, and helps your mind and body feel safe. If I am the ‘instrument,’ it is the Breath of God that plays the beautiful music through me. Trust in the Universe. The Unseen is vastly more important than the seen. Faith is literally, “the belief in the unseen.” Trust that unseen, unconditionally-loving forces use EVERYTHING to help you along in your evolutionary path. NO-thing is against you. You can get out of their way of manifesting positive things for you by being as positive as possible while moving in the direction of excitement and inspiration. Negative thoughts are lies. Whenever you think thoughts that don’t make you feel good, know that they are lies made up by your egoic mind to keep you small and safe. Fear is a tool of mind control. The choice of our thoughts can the hardest to make! Instead, for every negative thought, flip it into a positive one: I am healthy. I am loved. I am supported fully by the Universe. This is all going to work out in my favor. Make a list if you have to. Believe these – they are the truth.

Soul Star Holistic Healing Arts Accepting New Clients
C
onnie Larkin, Reiki Master with Soul Star Inc., is now accepting new clients in the Denver area at 899 N Logan Street. While she doesn’t make house calls, remote healing is available. “Reiki can be used for general wellness as well as for specific issues. It assists in reducing stress, which in turn may create an environment within the body where healing may be facilitated. In my practice I have had great results with clients working with excess tension, chronic pain and headaches, insomnia and fatigue,” says Connie. “If during my assessment I determine with reasonable certainty that my work won’t help you, we end the session at that time, and you aren’t charged for the initial appointment. But this rarely happens.” Currently, Connie is offering an initial session for $65 (normally $85) and a 4-pack of sessions at $65 each. And she will work with most through a sliding fee scale, referral to a practitioner you can afford, or referral to a monthly student clinic. Contact Connie Larkin at 303-223-6336 or Connie@SoulStarInc.com See ad page 14.

Remote Healing During Social Distancing Since the outbreak of coronavirus and warnings to avoid crowds and stay home now is the perfect time to consider remote healing. Remote healing is an energetic healing process that operates under the principles of quantum physics. This process has been proven to be extremely effective, sometimes even more effective than local, hands-on healing. Reiki level II practitioners have been attuned to an ancient distance symbol. When invoked, this symbol allows healing Reiki energy to be sent across time and space in order to heal remotely. Energy does not require proximity nor touch in order to offer healing. Practitioners create a sacred space by connecting/linking into the vibratory energy signature of the client using standard hand positions. Many Reiki healers use their inner senses to guide them to where or what is needed. Some practitioners are so connected to the client that they actually feel what the client is feeling during the session. While within the energetic field of a client, the practitioner can shift/remove blockages in their being (mind, body, spirit). The healing occurs in the layer(s) where it is most needed. The energetic body can only handle so much healing within a session, and your practitioner will know when it is time to stop. Prior to receiving remote healing the client needs to give permission. You can easily set up a session by booking online. As a practitioner I find having a photo of the eyes intensifies my connection. We will start with a conversation on desires of the healing and possible expectations. To prepare on your end, you should be in a quiet, comfortable space where you will not be disturbed. Ideally, it’s best to be lying down. Now is the time to do everything possible to maintain peak health. Consider a Remote Healing while practicing your “social distancing.” Contact Connie Larking at Connie@SoulStarInc.com See ad page 14.

Advice from a Qigong Master on Avoiding Coronavirus The same measures that we use to guard our health from any respiratory infection - whether viral, bacterial, fungal – can purge it from our systems: • Refuse to take on stress of any kind that fatigues you and lowers your immune response. Practice qigong, tai chi and yoga with the conscious intention of restoring your inner balance and harmony. Meditate on Life’s Goodness through centeredness and grounding.

• Provide yourself restorative sleep.
aised in Southern California by two artists, Kay Larch says she didn’t follow in their footsteps. She grew up, started a family, moved to South Carolina and built a daycare center that she owned and operated. She filled the center with wall murals and did painting activities and after-school art classes with the kids, but she never considered herself an artist. She found ways to express her creative need for colorful and elaborate surroundings through painting projects she did for fun. One day, Larch decided to create a series of acrylic paintings on canvas. Out of curiosity, she submitted her work to a gallery. It was accepted for a show, which led to being featured in an article about the museum, interviews, commissioned work, more shows and the launching of her career as an artist at age 54. Larch is immersed in the art community, has added oil painting and drawing to her repertoire, and creates in a variety of styles. Her acrylic paintings have a comic-book style, while her oil paintings lean more toward realism. She admits she was influenced by growing up as a California hippie, traveling to Tijuana and seeing the vibrant colors of Mexican folk art and simply being an imaginative person. Her work has been featured in galleries, businesses and magazines and she sells original paintings, prints, greeting cards and a line of coloring books, in addition to commissioned work for people all around the world.

Denver Mile High Edition
• Drink PLENTY of water -- 92 ounces for women and 108 ounces for men -- throughout each day to hydrate sufficiently and assist your body in flushing out toxins. • Eat a diet high in fiber and eliminate inflammatory foods such as those that contain sugar, dairy and gluten. Reduce meat and seafood to no more than 6 ounces. Two-thirds of each meal should be green, leafy vegetables to supply your health with optimal alkalinity. • Exercise without strain to strengthen lung and heart health and functions. • Take essential herbs, vitamins and minerals like a cup of two of ImmuniTea (see recipe at MileHighNaturalAwakenings.com) . • Wash your hands properly every two hours with gentle soap and warm water. • Sterilize countertops and frequently touched surfaces regularly. Mix 10-15 drops of liquid Grapefruit Seed Extract with water in a small spray bottle for an excellent disinfectant that kills viruses, bacteria, parasites and other infectious microorganisms. Add the same solution into contaminated clothing and towels in the washer to eliminate germs. • Avoid traveling through high-risk zones and don’t deprive yourself of enjoying travel and recreation in low-risk zones. A change in scenery is refreshing and reinvigorates your health and peace of mind. • Exercise your belief in abundance. Stocking a month’s inventory of household supplies is more than ample, remember that your neighbors need some too. • Breathe calmly and TRUST – trust that your vitality protects your health, trust that your inner warrior is resourceful and creative, trust that Life sustains your destiny, trust that Life is always actively nourishing and restoring balance for all living beings.

Unsafe Sipping
Widespread Drinking Water Contamination Found
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has found contamination of U.S. drinking water with manmade “forever chemicals” to be much worse than estimated. Miami, Philadelphia and New Orleans have some of the highest levels. Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are resistant to breaking down in the environment and some have been linked to cancer, liver damage, low birth weight and other health problems. David Andrews, a senior scientist at EWG and co-author of the report, says, “It’s nearly impossible to avoid contaminated drinking water from these chemicals.” Sources include products like Teflon, Scotchguard and firefighting foam. Only one location in the country, Meridian, Mississippi, which has 700-foot-deep wells, had no detectable PFAS, while Seattle and Tuscaloosa, Alabama, had levels below 1 part per trillion, the limit EWG recommends. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has known since at least 2001 about the problem of PFAS in drinking water, but has so far failed to set an enforceable, nationwide legal limit.
Cool Solution
Biodegradable Cooler Keeps Food Cold and Dry
The ice chests we haul to picnics are typically made of Styrofoam, Dow Chemical’s trademarked name for extruded polystyrene, but it is a highly flammable source of greenhouse gases that animals can mistake for food and won’t degrade for hundreds of years, leading thousands of landfills to ban it. Now, Igloo, the top global cooler maker, has introduced a new, lessdestructive alternative made out of paraffin wax and recycled tree pulp called Recool. The 16-quart, water-resistant cooler, sold at REI and other stores, keeps 75 pounds of contents ice-cold for up to 12 hours and goes up to five days without leaking water. The coolers can be stored and reused many times and then recycled, composted or used as a dry storage container. It’s also less likely to break or chip than Styrofoam.
Plastics Adios
Mexicans Return to Old Ways After Ban
A new law bans popular plastic bags in the Mexican capital, and grocery stores are poised to sell reusable synthetic fiber bags. The same law will ban handing out plastic straws, spoons, coffee capsules and other single-use items by 2021. Claudia Hernández, the city’s director of environmental awareness, says, “We are finding that people are returning to baskets, to cucuruchos [cone-shaped rolls of paper].” The old ways are present in other aspects, too. Many residents still use wheeled, folding shopping baskets and some vendors still measure out bulk goods in discarded sardine cans. Grocery stores that give out plastic bags will be fined, so most will opt for reusable shopping bags made of thick plastic fiber for about 75 cents. For hygienic reasons, the law leaves the door open to using plastic bags for such items as perishable deli meats or cheese.

ike most kids, Azalea Morgan loves polar bears. “They’re fluffy and cute,” the 8-year-old says, and after watching a documentary on how climate change is affecting these Arctic apex predators, she badly wanted to help. Her mom, Molly Morgan, suggested she do something big, because the problem of global warming is monumental. For nearly three weeks last September, Azalea pedaled her bike alongside her mom and 9-year-old sister, Ember, setting out from their hometown of Andover, New Hampshire, en route to New York City to attend the United Nations (UN) Climate Action Summit, where Greta Thunberg and other global youth leaders marched for change. The trip was a 12

fundraiser to put solar panels on their school and for future projects under KidsCare4PolarBears, a Facebook page that documents their ongoing efforts. While not everyone has the time or inclination to ride 250 miles and camp— some of it in the rain—or as Thunberg did, sail across the Atlantic in a zero-emissions yacht, there are steps individuals can take to combat climate change on a grassroots level, experts say, because the crisis is undeniable, as seen most recently in the catastrophic bushfires across Australia. There are peaceful protests taking place worldwide scheduled throughout 2020 at FridaysForFuture.org and other organizations, but a growing number of individuals that want to do more are using their imagi-

Stepping Up for Biodiversity
“I wanted to inspire other kids,” Ember says of her bicycle trek for polar bears. “I love animals and they deserve to not die.” According to a 2019 UN Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, more than 1 million species are threatened with extinction, and one of the main reasons is climate change, say experts, including Nikhil Advani, director of Climate Communities and Wildlife at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Protecting large predators is one key to enriching biodiversity, Advani says. “The top of the food chain has a significant impact on prey species and the ecosystem.” But predators are suffering because of humans that are feeling the impacts of climate change, Advani says. Long droughts have forced many Kenyan pastoralists to enter protected parks and compete with wildlife for water and grazing land, resulting in lion deaths as retaliation for killing livestock. In the Himalayas, as the Earth warms, snow leopard habitat is being encroached for pastureland. In Zimbabwe, farmers have turned to chopping down trees for wood as an alternative economic opportunity. “Everybody is stressed and competing for resources,” Advani says. “It is a very severe result of climate change.” Advani and researchers are working in tandem with local societies in 30 countries

nations and creative endeavors, inspiring others to take unique action. Students at a school in Spain wrote and performed a play and illustrated a book to raise climate change awareness, while a teen from California used her artistic skills to raise thousands of dollars for wildlife. On March 28, people around the world participated in the World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour by collectively turning off lights at 8:30 p.m. while holding ecoevents, and others are joining in the global tree-planting campaign of The Nature Conservancy (TNC). Reversing course may seem insurmountable, but individuals have a lot of power, says Dan Shepard, UN global communications officer: “The choices we make, the things we do, collectively matter and can have a huge impact on the world.”
I love to see what young people are doing, because if we collectively use our voice to amplify the facts about climate change, we can work to find solutions. ~Elan Strait across Africa, Central America and Asia to fund novel projects under the Wildlife Adaptation Innovation Fund. For instance, they are piloting a rainwater harvesting project to help farmers get through the dry seasons and are constructing concrete and mudbrick nests to help albatross breed better in Tasmania. These special projects are based on available levels of donations that are sometimes crowd-sourced. Raising funds for innovative projects, as well as increasing awareness of what’s happening, is an important grassroots strategy, says Elan Strait, WWF director of U.S. climate campaigns. It can be as simple as sharing updates, tagging social media influencers and instigating a rallying cry. WWF has its own program called Panda Ambassadors in which conservation activists of all ages can get tips and tools to promote specific projects they feel most passionate about. “I love to see what young people are doing, because if we collectively use our voice to amplify the facts about climate change, we can work to find solutions,” Strait says. “And we need facts to get out there because, at least in the U.S., some people think climate change is still a controversy

Youth Rising to the Challenge Getting involved in grassroots-level strategies is empowering not only for kids, but for adults that need their resiliency and inspiration, says Janet Stringer, manager of donor relations at Polar Bears International, in Bozeman, Montana. “In my work, I hear from so many people who are feeling deep despair about the climate crisis. I draw hope from the children who write to us, sharing stories and pictures about their dreams for a future that includes polar bears,” says Stringer. “I think we owe it to the next generation to work as hard as we can to come together and make the necessary changes to ensure that polar bears—and all wildlife—are not a species we learn about in the pages of a book, but a wild species that we can see with our own eyes, reminding us of how special our planet is and why it deserves our respect.” One of her favorite examples comes from students at the Daina-Isard school,
movement sparked by Greta Thunberg, with a map for climate strikes around the world (FridaysForFuture.org).

It’s important that everyone feel they can contribute because everything does make a difference, and no action is too small. ~Catherine Macdonald in Olesa de Montserrat, Spain, and their climate-driven projects with teacher Connie Darilek, who asked the Aquarium of Barcelona to help them grow plankton, an organism threatened by warming seas. “They gave us plankton and jellyfish, and it was really amazing for the students to learn the [Arctic] food chain and how serious it would be losing the polar bear on top,” Darilek says. Students recently published the book Nanuc, a story about a polar bear that they also illustrated, now in its second printing.
Every Action Counts
There’s no one solution to climate change, says Catherine Macdonald, TNC director of natural climate solutions for North America. “We really have to try, all of us.
It’s important that everyone feel they can contribute, because everything does make a difference, and no action is too small.” For those that are not art-inclined, one of the best things people can do is to plant trees, Macdonald says, whether it’s replanting forests or increasing their numbers in urban areas. According to a 2018 study by TNC published in Science Advances, nature-driven land management could sequester 21 percent of America’s annual greenhouse gas pollution—the equivalent of emissions from all cars and trucks on the roads today. Planting trees emerged in the study as the most significant among 21 strategies to mitigate global warming. One good way to get started is join the TNC Plant a Billion Trees program, Macdonald says; details are at Tinyurl.com/TNCPlantABillionTrees. “Climate change is definitely a growing concern that we are facing, and as more people understand there is a problem and what the solutions are, the more influence we can have on the big decision-makers, whether that’s government or corporations that make our products,” she says. “And being aware informs voters to advance climate action.” While Josie, Ember, Azalea and the students at Daina-Isard aren’t old enough to vote, their message is strong. “I’m worried about the impact climate change will have on our future,” Josie says. “I think people should protest peacefully for the things they believe in and that more people should exercise their right to vote for leaders who care about the youth in our world and the generations to come. I also think people should try to spend a little bit of their time taking action for what they want to see changed in our world.” Julie Marshall is a Colorado-based writer and author of Making Burros Fly: Cleveland Amory, Animal Rescue Pioneer.

Extinction Is Forever Josie Martin
W
ith the help of her mother, Jill, Josie Martin dedicated her 9th birthday to the conservation of rhinos with a fundraiser. This marks the fifth time Josie has chosen to actively support an animal she loves to paint for her birthday month. She raises money for the animal and creates awareness about climate change and the resulting possibility of their extinctions. Donors received signed and numbered copies of watercolor paintings in her Extinction Is Forever series. The young artist’s fundraisers provide well-researched information on animals and the issues they face. With an upbeat message and a photo of her joyful smile, Josie requests that donors provide their email address so that she and her mom can keep them updated. She works to improve her skills as an artist and sets a modestly higher goal for the number of donors and amount of funds to raise each year. She believes her events are a small thing that she can do for a big world and wants to help ensure that animals do not go extinct in her lifetime.

A SAFE PLACE FOR CHANGE Your journey begins with the 1st step.
50th EARTH DAY TAKES ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Golden Anniversary Marks Call to Action
O
n April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans—10 percent of the nation—took to the streets and campuses to protest environmental degradation so severe that rivers were literally catching on fire. That groundswell was followed by the passage of landmark environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, laws soon adopted by many other countries. Half a century later, as temperatures approach 70 degrees in Antarctica, catastrophic wildfires race through Australia and species die off around the world, the planet’s status seems anything but golden. On this Earth Day, the climate crisis that precipitated these events and trends take center stage: The goal is to mobilize millions, perhaps billions, of Earth’s human inhabitants to rise up in its defense. “The urgency has never been greater and the stakes have never been higher,” say the organizers of the Earth Day Network. “We are now in an environmental emergency and a climate breakdown. The world needs you—and your actions—for Earth Day 2020.” To learn about personal actions, including step-by-step instructions on how to organize an event, consult EarthDay.org. Participants can join in a cleanup of trash from rivers, beaches, streets and forests; host a teach-in; take part in a climate strike or campus rally to show united action; join the world’s largest citizen science initiative to document declining environmental conditions and participate in social media campaigns to raise awareness.

safety are real concerns for those that may grab any bottle off the shelf. Consumers must become well informed, especially when replacing medications for serious disorders, experts say. But for anxiety and emotional well-being, CBD is largely heralded as a safe and natural choice by providers well-versed in CBD, such as Peter Bongiorno, past president of the New York Association of Naturopathic Physicians. “It’s really important for people to know their options and to keep looking for what works for them,” he says.

CBD, a compound extracted from the hemp plant, is appealing because it can raise the level of cannabinoids— feel-good molecules naturally created within the human body. “When we can’t sleep or are stressed out, cannabinoid levels go way down,” Bongiorno says. While prescription drugs overwhelm the body with adverse side effects, CBD can healthfully bring back balance. But CBD won’t trigger an altered state because there is little to no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive chemical in marijuana that produces a high, he says, adding that he starts patients at a low daily dose of 25 milligrams. It’s important to talk with a physician about drug interactions, Bongiorno says. For instance, CBD can increase levels of blood-thinning medications, according to a 2017 study published in Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports. CBD can possibly treat a wide range of conditions, from fear of public speaking to bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders, but more research is needed, experts say. A 2018 clinical trial published in JAMA Psychiatry suggests CBD offers potential in treating psychosis. More recently, researchers in a 2019 case study of 27 patients published by the Permanente Journal concluded, “Cannabidiol may hold benefit for anxiety-related disorders.”

Seeds of Hope
The most important step consumers can take to find a safe, quality product is to know where their CBD comes from, experts say. Lara Miller is an organic farmer in Lafayette, Colorado, who in 2017 dedicated a parcel of her two-acre farm to growing hemp for her business, North Field Farmacy. “I added in hemp because it is a dynamic plant that produces fiber, seed and medicine for us humans, all at the same time,” she says. Miller’s small, women-owned business grows the leafy plants outdoors in organic soil and harvests by hand. “We test in the field, post-harvest, during extraction and in the final product,” she says. “We know our product is clean and pure and potent.” This isn’t always the case. A 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that in 84 CBD products sold online by 31 companies, 26 percent contained less CBD than the amount listed on the label. “We imagine the people suffering who need support and think about how we are growing the plants to help them,” says Miller.

Take Echinacea to Reduce Anxiety Echinacea extract may be helpful for situation-induced anxiety, indicates a new study from Hungary’s Institute of Experimental Medicine, in Budapest. The researchers tested 64 middleaged people that had scored high on the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. They were given either 80 milligrams Echinacea angustifolia root extract or a placebo every day for seven days, followed by a three-week washout period during which no pills were taken. Those taking the echinacea started experiencing less anxiety than the placebo-takers by day seven, and scored significantly lower in “state anxiety”, marked by arousal connected to specific dangers or threats. Measures of “trait anxiety”, in which anxiety is an ongoing personal characteristic, improved slightly compared to the placebo group. Improvements were maintained even during the washout period.
Consume Grape Seed Extract to Improve Cholesterol and Lower Inflammation Grape seed extract, an antioxidant-rich supplement that is a byproduct of the wine and juice industry, significantly improves both total and LDL cholesterol levels and triglyceride levels, and lowers markers of inflammation, concludes a meta-review of 15 randomized trials in the journal Phytotherapy Research. Researchers from Iran, Canada and Croatia concluded that the popular extract also improves fasting glucose levels, but has little effect on HbA1c or HDL cholesterol levels. April 2020

MAKING LUCK
An Intentional Path to Good Fortune
B
by Carol Kline
y its very definition, luck is random, capricious and based on chance rather than our own actions. Yet there is reason to believe that might not be the whole story—that living a charmed life and being lucky both in love and a chosen field is within our control. Recent research in the field of positive psychology and the experiences of consistently lucky people show that we can, and in fact already do make our own luck. Although there will always be an element of chance to luck— both good and bad—we have more influence over the events in our lives than we realize. This means a great deal of our luck can be changed, and quickly, with a little conscious attention.
The first step is changing our ideas about how luck works. Stanford University professor and luck expert Tina Seelig, Ph.D., explains that the key is “understanding that luck is rarely a lightning strike—isolated and dramatic—but a wind that blows constantly… You need to build a sail made up of certain tiny behaviors to catch the winds of luck.” Here are a few ideas and ways for us to get started in raising our sails and harnessing the winds of luck.
Believe it’s possible and commit to being lucky. This is called mindset.
It may seem simplistic, but studies clearly show that people that believe they are lucky are more open to and aware of the opportunities that come their way and act
us have decided on an unconscious level how lucky we deserve to be. To turn our luck around often requires “lifting curses”; rooting out those limiting beliefs we’ve acquired along the way that become selffulfilling prophecies. Take bold action consistently. Think of action as a cosmic lottery ticket. The more actions we take, the more chances we have to win. To turbocharge this step, we must get out of our comfort zone; meet new people, change our daily routine and do things that stretch us. Fortune favors the bold.
Learn to listen to inner mental, emotional and physical promptings.
Being true to our deepest values, priorities and intuitions, and staying centered in our bodies while we move through space, are the keys to being in the right place at the right time, a common definition of luck. When we focus on the elements of luck that are within our control, chance becomes less important. Begin today and watch good fortune blossom. Carol Kline is a New York Times bestselling author and the co-author of Happy for No Reason, Love for No Reason, five books in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the upcoming Conscious Luck: Eight Secrets to Intentionally Change Your Fortune, with Gay Hendricks.
