Over the past few years our oceans have been increasingly polluted by oil spills, toxic waste, floating plastic and litter. In fact around 6.5 million tons of litter pours into our oceans every year.
About 100k marine mammals and turtles and over a million seabirds are killed by plastic litter every year. Three hundred thousand dolphins and porpoises die each year from becoming entangled in discarded fishing nets and other rubbish.
The ocean, indeed our world, cannot continue to thrive as a dump site.
But for me what is even more serious perhaps is the dump site we have made of ourselves.
Not just through the unhealthy food and lifestyle choices that we can often make, but also the negative thoughts, emotions, judgements, criticisms and behaviours we dump on ourselves and each other every single day.
This represents a serious pollution issue and one that is threatening our health and well-being and ultimately the health and vibrancy of the whole planet.
We as a human race have managed to degrade our beautiful selves to the point that many of us are neglecting ourselves as individuals and as a community and ultimately our environment.
So look now as we expand this out to the macro level.
When we throw an empty can away with an ‘I don’t care’ attitude we are also throwing it with an attitude and energy of rejection and neglect. Imagine now that the oceans are registering in their very molecules this energy of neglect. Quantum physics postulates that everything is energy, even our thoughts, and that everything is registered in one universal energy field.
So when the water cycle (the very foundation of life) moves into clouds and rain and then charged water enters our rivers and lakes and eventually filters down to our kitchen taps and bottles…. are we drinking the energy of neglect?
It is a continuous cycle that feeds and repeats.
So I say that clearing up the polluted oceans, the external expression of our inner states, is not all of what it is about, as important as that is.
What is for me even more fundamental is to start taking responsibility for clearing up the pollution in our own selves. We need to start making changes from the inside out if we are to save our planet and ourselves and to guarantee our mutual and universal well-being.
Let us start working to restore our natural beauty and caring at all levels to bring about a real abundant and rich legacy for our future generations inside and outside too

“Since I joined the group, I have learned how to slow my thoughts through simple breathing techniques, and then connect my breathing to my heart. I’ve learned how to quieten my mind enough to hear and listen to my heart. I’ve learned that I am enough, and I have always been enough, I am loved, and I have always been loved and am love. I have always been… I had just forgotten.
Now I am learning to remember.
The best thing of all that I have learned, is that I always have a choice. I can choose whatever I like. I am learning to become an observer of my thoughts and reactions, which is enabling me to realize that there are other options, other thoughts to think… which create other feelings… I can choose to feel happy whenever I wish, no matter what I might have previously automatically thought. I love this feeling – it feels like being free… to be me… to be happy and loved… and to love x Joy, much love and gratitude to you… Today, I am remembering, and my wish is that I remember this every single day of my life xxx”
