Mindfulness for Mother Nature
Lungs of the planet
The Amazon rainforest burned at an unprecedented rate last year. In fact, the worst fires since 2010.
A sharp rise in Brazil’s deforestation reached a peak by late 2019.
Coronavirus (COVID) is mainly a respiratory disease that aggressively targets human lungs. In fact, COVID is the most contagious virus compared to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) since 2002.
A sharp rise in World deaths due to COVID reaches a new peak by late week. The worst is yet to come in 2020.
Dr. Bruce Aylward is the World Health Organization’s leading doctor on COVID-19 and recommends that we do more than just ‘flatten the curve’.

Malcolm Gladwell’s book ‘Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference.’ sheds more light on current times of worldwide quarantine.
The name given to that one dramatic moment in an epidemic when everything can change all at once is the Tipping Point.
A tipping point permanently changes an ecosystem. But creating sustainable change requires collective tenacity. Our future depends on each of us playing a role to benefit an entire Universe.
Making the best of it — just to survive — doesn’t cut it.
If we want to thrive, then we need to pay closer attention to Mother Nature during this pandemic. Social distancing is a social responsibility and mindfulness is crucial, more than ever before.
