The Sacred Biodiversity Oracle stimulates empathy and meaningful action for planetary healing. Exploring the richness and necessity of biodiversity, this 36-cardfull-color deck features the work of world-renowned artist Angela Manno and reveals how the loss of biodiversity is leading to the warming of our planet. A unique feature of this work are QR codes that lead to the websites of one of 18 specially curated conservation organizations from all over the world that are helping to protect species, including EarthJustice, The Center for Biological Diversity, The Wildlife Justice Commission and The Orangutan Project.

There is an ancient saying

" It is the foolish man who waits to dig a well when he is already dying of thirst.."

 

 

In traditional Chinese medicine, the knowledge indicates:  don’t wait until you have an advanced issue.. instead

 

DO PREVENTIVE MEDICINE and  take steps to prepare your body so that illness will not gain a foothold;

 

 We do this in natural medicine by making sure that the soil of the body or the terrain of the body is very strong;

 

 The Chinese called immunity THE WEI QI, which is a force field that circulates around the body preventing t “ evil influences” from attacking; 

 

The evil influences include wind dryness dampness heat cold phlegm stagnation and excess emotions.  

 

In a western sense, we can use Herbs and  Botanicals , and pay attention to things like our gut health, our diet, our lifestyle , sleep, stress, exercise and our environment.
