A Unifying Environmental
Breakthrough: Nature-Connected Psychology, Education and Alternative
Medicine.
SYNOPSIS:
Contemporary people, like all of humanity, are born as part of
nature but, to our loss, we live in denial of this legacy. In
powerless apathy we deny that we live extremely nature-separated
lives. We deny that over 99% of our thinking is stressed and
frustrated by our indoor-living disconnection of our psyche from
its nurturing, renewing origins in nature's balance and beauty.
We deny that in the name of progress, economics and normalcy
we embrace and psychologically bond to rewards from non-organic
substitutes for nature, substitutes with attributes that injure
us, others and the environment.
Our disconnection from nature's
rewards and restorative powers causes us to want. When we want
there is never enough so we satisfy and condition ourselves thoughtlessly.
For this reason our stubborn personal, social and environmental
troubles result.
To resolve our breach with
nature and promote human and environmental health, Dr. Michael
Cohen's new Organic Psychology book, The Web of Life Imperative,
empowers us with simple, nature-reconnecting, learning tools
that help us transform our destructive bonds into constructive
relationships. Backyard or backcountry, they enable us to rejuvenate
personal and environmental wellness through thoughtful sensory
contact with nature's healing properties and energy.
In The Web of Life Imperative:
regenerative Ecopsychology techniques that help people think
in balance with natural systems (Trafford Publications),
environmental psychologist Dr. Michael J. Cohen and 36 expert
co-authors teach individuals, organizations and disciplines how
to benefit from a simple, nature-connected learning process.
This self-help book contains
an easily doable, accredited course in the therapeutic science
of Organic Psychology. It gives us responsible, loving, relationship-strengthening
tools that, backyard or backcountry, enable our psyche to benefit
by thoughtfully tapping into recuperative natural system energies
within and around us. Participants help themselves improve their
lives through nature's unadulterated information, wellness forces
and behavior-modifying powers.
As does Nature, Dr. Cohen's
process promotes peace by unifying opposites. He has developed
and tested it for nine years in conjunction with many award winning
authors, educators, and peace leaders ---including the N.Y. Times
best selling nature and healing writer Susan Chernak McElroy.
Cohen's compelling book enables
us, as part of nature, to wisely reconnect our injured senses
with their purifying and rejuvenating origins and energies in
nature. His certification and degree program students spearhead
an organic psychology revolution that brings nature-connected
thinking into daily relationships.
Cohen, Director of the Institute
of Global Education -a special consultant NGO to the United Nations,
says, "Conscious, contact with tangible 'higher power' attraction
energies in nature helps us rewardingly transform our resistant
habit and addiction bonds into healthier ways of relating, personally
and environmentally. We enable ourselves to increase our resilience,
realize our deeper hopes and mass-produce an urgently needed
global consciousness."
