AFTERWORD
This is now a time to weigh the choices for our future. We do have a choice. Nature, the First People, and the spirits of our ancestors are giving you loud warnings. You see increasing floods, more damaging hurricanes, hail storms, climate changes and earthquakes as our prophesies said would come. Even animals and birds are warning us with strange changes in their behavior such as the beaching of whales. Why do animals act like they know about the earth's problems and most humans act like they know nothing?
If we return to spiritual harmony and live from our hearts, we can experience a paradise in this world. It's up to all of us, as children of Mother Earth, to clean up this mess before it's too late.
Thomas Banyaca, Hopi Elder, Address to the United Nations General Assembly, New York, December 10, 1992

| CHAPTER ONE |
EARTH
AWARENESS and
NATURAL HEALTH
An Overview
The earth and myself are of one mind.
The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same.
Chief Joseph, Nez Perce (1830-1904)
nce upon a time, healing was considered an art. The healer enhanced the canvas of human being with careful" strokes from a rich palette of healing colors coaxed from living herbs and trees and flowers of the field. Body, mind, and spirit were threads interwoven in a living tapestry. Human health was viewed as a partnership with the natural world, indivisible from the sacred.
In our time, the unified worldview by which our ancestors lived has been shattered. The art of healing has been replaced by the science of medicine, from whose sterile corridors the sacred is banned. However, just as quantum physics has called into question many of our most basic assumptions about the nature of reality, recent and fascinating research is giving scientific validity to concepts integral to holistic thinking, as we shall see later in this chapter.
Most of us who are parents today were raised to believe that we should put our faith in the curative powers of the family doctor and the miracle drugs, often antibiotics, which he was likely to prescribe. In accordance with the mechanistic worldview that has dominated Western culture for the last three centuries, we were conditioned to view illness as a kind of mechanical breakdown in our physical vehicle, with the solution being something akin to auto repair: when the vehicle isn't running properly, it's taken to the mechanic (doctor) where the malfunctioning part is identified (diagnosis) and either repaired, removed, or replaced (prescription, surgery, or transplant).
But human beings are vastly more complex than even the most technologically advanced automobile. The more we learn, the more we realize how little we know about ourselves and how we function. The crucial philosophical and conceptual differences between conventional medicine and alternative or natural healing practices lie not only in the substances and methods used, but also in the importance placed on intangible, and for the most part invisible factors, such as consciousness, emotions, life or vital forces, and spirituality. These factors are becoming more important as conventional medicine fails to address the root causes of illness and disease.
I realized after the birth of my first child some ten years ago that there are many things directly affecting our health and the health of our children, over which we have little or no control whatsoever. This realization drove me to become actively involved with antinuclear and pro-environment causes, in an effort to have a broader and more positive influence on my son's, and subsequently my daughters', future. It quickly became evident that what was best for my children tended to benefit the planet as well.
