"Law of Mother Earth" to be passed in Bolivia

10/6/2015

2 Comments

 
A truly inspiring law is to be passed in Bolivia giving Mother Earth and nature equal rights to humans, with Bolivia's rich natural resources recognized as blessings.  What wonderful, positive news. The new law states: "She is sacred, fertile and the source of life that feeds and cares for all living beings in her womb. She is in permanent balance, harmony and communication with the cosmos. She is comprised of all ecosystems and living beings, and their self-organisation"  Amen!

The laws for Mother Earth include
  • The right to life and to exist 
  • The right to continue vital cycles and processes free from human alteration
  • The right to pure water and clean air
  • The right to balance
  • The right not to be polluted
  • The right to not have cellular structure modified or genetically altered
  • The right to not be affected by mega-infrastructure and development projects that affect the balance of ecosystems and the local inhabitant communities
This is a radical departure from the norm and highlights the compassion and kindness that exists for our beautiful Earth.
The question I ask is how can we live this respect in our everyday lives.  How can we be the change.  I suggest 5 simple things that could potentially make a huge difference to our Earth and our evolution as individual souls:
  1. Connect with Mother Earth.  Spend quiet time in nature connecting with Gaia in all her splendor.  Listen to the birds sing, smell the fragrant scent of a flower or notice the spectacular colors all around.  Notice how these things make you feel and bring gratitude to your heart.  Gardening and growing plants and vegetables is a beautiful way to connect more with nature and appreciate her magical bounty.
  2. Consume less Most of us in the Western world consume much more than we actually need to.  I encourage more conscious choices about what we purchase and use.  There is much value in the term "Reduce, Re-use, Recycle" and contemplating what that means in your life.  This also includes using resources less, for example, gas or oil for central heating, perhaps the heating could be turned down a few degrees and an extra layer worn.
  3. Be mindful about the food we eat Ideally grow your own food, even without a garden, there is lots of potential for growing food.  Find local, organic food that is free from chemicals and pesticides.  There is possibly a local market or veggie box scheme in your area, I have found these to be a fantastic resource.  Follow a plant based diet, this is much more compassionate to Mother Earth and all sentient life for lots of reasons. Read my blog about following a vegan diet for further information.  Also try to buy food that is free from plastic packaging.
  4. Transport Avoid unnecessary journeys, use public transport and if you can avoid flying.  I like to walk or cycle shorter journeys, it's good exercise and gives me time to unwind.
  5. Use natural household products When you need to, use natural beauty and cleaning products around the home. 
These are suggestions, I encourage you to contemplate what feels right for you and how you can be more aware of the rights of Mother Earth and all sentient life.  

Thank you for the reading, with blessings and gratitude, Fiona

Love this. Makes me want to move. I'm chemically injured and live outside. To live where people treasured our mother would be a major blessing. Thank you. :)
