Eco-Friendly lifestyle products for Earth Day
By Carla Snuggs

Every April, we are reminded about how we can make great lifestyle choices in honor of Earth Day. It’s really important to search for lifestyle products with natural elements as well as lifestyle products that support our environment. Here some of my favorite Earth Day lifestyle products to consider.

The inner poly-fill keeps 60 plastic bottles from entering the landfill, and keeps feathers on birds, instead of in our bedding!

Online Shamanic Journey 

Earth Day Thursday 22nd April

It has become clearer to me that the only way we can navigate safely through this chaos is by raising our vibrations, strengthening our own immune defences, and reducing the amount of fear and anxiety we are generating.

Gratitude is a great starting point and giving thanks to Mother Earth really helps balance the fear and separation and puts us back in alignment.

Together, with people all over the world  we will utilise the powerful and auspicious energy of Earth Day to really make an impact on the planet. When people come together with the right intention, we can change the 'Morphic Field' and help shift the resonance on the planet to a higher vibration.

The Schumann Resonance is a direct reflection of consciousness levels around the Earth. The more love we ripple out in the world, the more we shift and uplift the frequency of the planet.

Now, more than ever, it is so important to come together, connect our hearts, shift our consciousness and send our ripples of positive energy out into the world.

Don’t underestimate the power of prayer, connection and love.

Please do join us for this very special ceremony where together we will send our collective healing and gratitude to Mother earth, humanity, and all living things that share our beautiful (and only) Planet with us. Shop: Livingshamanically.com
