“only when we have shifted into the rest-and-digest response of the nervous system will our brains allow us to reclaim our attention, access the power of our imagination, and unlock our subconscious. There is a quote attributed to Viktor Frankl (although it’s only documented in the writings of self-help authors Stephen R. Covey and Wayne Dyer) that says, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” It is our ability to choose that allows us to focus our attention and influence our unlocked subconscious to manifest our intention.”

“If we could see green, we’d see a thing that keeps getting more interesting the closer we get. If we could see what green was doing, we’d never be lonely or bored. If we could understand green, we’d learn how to grow all the food we need in layers three deep, on a third of the ground we need right now, with plants that protected one another from pests and stress. If we knew what green wanted, we wouldn’t have to choose between the Earth’s interests and ours. They’d be the same!”

“We mammals have specialized nerve fibers under the skin called cutaneous C afferents. These nerves love to be caressed at slow speeds, according to science (in case we didn’t already know). When we are touched in this way, our breathing slows, our blood pressure drops, and our muscles relax. Psychologists have measured the way having friends or loved ones holding your hand can help mitigate pain in patients undergoing medical procedures. But recently they have begun to look at touch and the easing of social pain.”
