Earth Day 2004: Addressing Our Ecological Craziness as the Risk to Earth and 
its People Increases

Environmentally Supportive Personal Healing Techniques Are Now Available to 
Help Counselors, Therapists and the Public

FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash., April 15 -- In recognition of Earth Day, April 22,
  2004, organic, ecologically sound, nature-connected psychology tools are
  now available to counselors, therapists, healers, their clients and the
  public at http://www.ecopsych.com/2004earthday.html

Due to studies indicating an accelerated rise in global warming carbon
  dioxide levels, an increase in oceanic dead zones and soaring
  mental/emotional disorders, Dr. Michael J. Cohen, director of Project
  NatureConnect at the Institute of Global Education has issued a
  proclamation and therapeutic tools for Earth Day 2004 that have been
  submitted to the American Psychological Association, the EPA and the
  National Education Association
  (http://www.ecopsych.com/earthproclamation.html).

The tools include a new organic psychology book and several potent, but
  easily-learned, nature-connecting activities for use by the psychotherapy,
  healing and environmental communities. They strengthen the healing process
  and address the threat to life on Earth by the dysfunctional parts of our
  mentality. They are also available to teachers, clients and interested
  members of the public. See http://www.ecopsych.com/2004earthday.html.

"The proclamation and Earth Day page show that we and our mentality are part
  of nature," said Dr. Cohen. "It also shows that when nature and its
  renewing powers are absent in the environment of the human mind, even our
  best thinking leads us to behave in ways that abuse Earth's natural systems
  in our body, our psyche and in the environment. Our troubles result."

In his new book "The Web of Life Imperative," Cohen reports, "Leading
  experts now recognize that individuals, society and the environment suffer
  dysfunctions because our thinking is excessively separated from nature's
  balanced ways and restorative powers. It is these powers that produce the
  social and environmental perfections found in natural systems and
  nature-connected people. Now, to our benefit, Organic Psychology helps us
  easily restore them in our psyche."

Cohen demonstrates that over 99% of our thinking is disconnected from and
  out of tune with nature. He says, "The nature-disconnected way we learn to
  make sense is the point source of our personal dysfunctions, such as
  stress, depression and anxiety, as well as environmental dysfunctions. Over
  the eons neither nature nor nature-connected people(s) have produced these
  problems."

"Producing mutually supportive ecosystem bonds is an essence of how nature
  works. It is our mentality's sterile isolation from this process that
  underlies our troubles." Cohen continues, "Our organic, nature-reconnecting
  activities, training and degree programs online are useful all year long in
  reversing this omission. They are welcome as special gifts for Earth Day,
  Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Christmas and most other occasions."
