Affirmations have long been one of the staples of the new age. There has been an assumption that if you want to grow in a particular area, repeating positive affirmations will help you do just that. At the risk of creating controversy, I want to challenge that assumption. I believe that not only are affirmations often not affective, but they can even make a situation worse.

The executive producers Alejandra Amarilla, Belle Murphy and Rodolfo Madero and the producer Juliana Penaranda-Loftus who introduced the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura to the world via the award-winning documentary “Landfill Harmonic” are now working to bring the story into the classroom as a powerful learning tool for the next generation. This has been a long-term goal of the producers as they seek to expand the film’s impact and spread its message of hope and activism to educate a wider audience.

I’m sure you’ve all heard at some point the quote by Henry Ford that goes, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.” We are never quite taught just how vital our opinion of our own capabilities is when it comes to what actually manifests from even our most trying efforts.

“Recently, I received another viewer question on how to manifest your freedom with the Law of Attraction. As you’ll see here, this viewer is experiencing a strong degree of bondage at the moment, and feels quite trapped!

I am glad I received this question, because manifesting freedom is one of my favorite LOA topics to discuss. This is because feeling deprived of freedom touches so deeply on themes I experienced prior to learning about the Law of Attraction.

I used to feel highly bound and restricted in life, and absolutely HATED authority and rules. Not surprisingly, there were many authorities and rules at the time that I was dealing with! Strict bosses, relatives and red tape abounded.

Not today, though. I have a tremendous amount of freedom in what I do with my time and how I get to experience my life. My hope is the information in this video enables you to experience the same…” (Click below to watch this quick video)

When Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-Wisc.) founded Earth Day in 1970, his hope was to make the environment a political issue in an era where US rivers caught on fire and thick smog choked cities. In many ways, it worked. Since then, major environmental laws have helped clean up much of the vivid toxic detritus in the soil, air, and water in the US. But our challenges today are no less daunting. The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the loss of wilderness and species, and the acidification and pollution of the oceans have all become more acute — and more destabilizing. Here are some things we’ve learned about our amazing planet since the last Earth Day.

By 2030, Sweden aims to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels by 70 percent. Days ago, the country took a big step toward achieving its goal. Electric rail has been embedded into the nearly 2 km (1.2 miles) of public road which is located near Stockholm. This is just the first stretch of electric rail road intended to be built. The government’s roads agency has already drafted a national map which outlines future expansion.

Travis Heide’s farm is large enough to produce 2,200,000 bushels of wheat per year. Although he has been mostly quiet about his transition to organic, his company Organics Canada Ltd. is set to boom as he will begin producing oats, lentils, peas, wheat and hemp all organically.

Norway—home to the world’s highest per capita number of all-electric cars—is also planning to go emission-free in the friendly skies.

Military experts (and corporatists) rule – at least since the end of WWII. They have pressured every U.S. president to lead with the military option and have usually gotten their way.
