The Time is NowWritten by Eric Plantenberg
Continued from page 1 In his New York Times bestseller, The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle states that “80 to 90 percent of most people’s thinking is not only repetitive and useless, but because of its often negative nature, much of it is also harmful.” While that statement may seem harsh, for most people it is true. How often do most people sit back and calmly think about how wonderful their life is today or how great future is going to be? By removing harmful or useless thinking, it is naturally replaced with either a focused or open mind. This results in progress from one moment to next, which leads to remarkable growth and improvement over time. Being present mentally inserts more care, quality and joy into ALL activities and removes unnecessary concern. So take care to add extra focus to things that are right in front of you, things that are REAL, and many of your imagined challenges will begin to fade away.

Continued from page 1
As healers, human beings have a responsibility to reconnect with natural world. Reconnection will heal humans, and it will also heal natural world, particularly animal kingdom. Animals exist now in a largely forgotten realm of distance from our immediate experience. Despite all of our affection and attention, we rarely truly respect them, or endeavour to truly understand them. Instead we project our own thoughts, feelings and desires onto them, and we expect our companion animals to provide us with comfort, companionship and attention, primarily on our terms. Animal communication is not, however, a movement which is attempting to change way people relate to animals. If it is a "movement" at all, its purpose is to give voice to animals - their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and concerns. Once these are revealed, human behaviour will change as a matter of course.
